cmk418 | Fannish 50 - Movie Review

Tonight I watched "Renfield" on Peacock. "Renfield" is a 2023 movie about Dracula's familiar set in 21st Century New Orleans. Nicholas Hoult, who I could watch paint a wall, plays Renfield. Nicolas Cage plays Dracula. The movie tells two intertwined stories: the struggle of Renfield to free himself from Dracula- he attends a co-dependent support group, initially to get victims for his master, but later finds his life very similar to the other members of the group, and the story of one good cop (played by Awkwafina) trying to take down the mob.

It's a well-paced movie, coming in at 93 minutes, and didn't drag. It had a nice balance of humor and action and the fight scenes were well-choreographed, albeit very bloody. If you're looking for something on the lighter side, this isn't a bad choice.
