Renfield

2023 · R · 1h 33m

After centuries as Dracula's familiar, Renfield finally tries a support group.

R.M. Renfield has been Dracula's loyal familiar for nearly a century — hunting victims, taking the beatings, surviving on bugs for a flicker of supernatural strength. In modern New Orleans, he begins attending a co-dependency support group and starts to wonder whether he could quit his immortal boss. Chris McKay's action-horror-comedy stars Nicholas Hoult and a maximally unhinged Nicolas Cage as Dracula.
