Renfield is pretty much exactly what it presents itself as in the marketing, for good and for ill, and while it is amusing, it doesn't take the time to really dig into the interesting concepts and topics it presents. RenfieldMovie Universal Renfield
\n\nDirector: Chris McKay\nSummary: Evil doesn't span eternity without a little help. In this modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss, Dracula . Renfield is forced to procure his master's prey and do his bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness.
When someone in Renfield's support group calls his boss a 'monster,' they mean it quite literally and not in the way that everyone else in the room is experiencing their 'monsters.' People have been using science-fiction, horror, and comedy to explore dark themes for as long as these genres have existed. But Renfield is very keen to keep things moving along and not linger too much on the serious topics it is exploring out of fear of ruining the mood of the film.
