Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 5063671, member: 833"] [B]Renfield (2023) [/B]- This movie had moments, and should have been so much better. The concept of a dysfunctional, co-dependent work relationship involving Dracula is clever, and Nicholas Hoult is perfect for the role of Dracula's assistant. Nicholas Cage gets to chew the scenery, which is what he is good at. Not sure what happens after that. I realize that the movie needs a plot, but the second half of the movie is ridiculous. It tries to satirize horror films, which is a pretty big lane change from where the movie starts. Awkwafina and Ben Schwarz are good supporting actors, but...the second half is just kind of weird. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. I think the movie should have gone smaller and focused on the main two characters, with maybe Awkwafina as a love interest for Hoult. [/QUOTE]
