Starring Nicolas Cage as a captivatingly campy Dracula, Universal's gory horror-comedy movie Renfield is receiving mixed reviews from critics.
Critics are split on Universal’s new Dracula movie Renfield, which is receiving mixed reviews regarding the film’s tone, storytelling, and genre-blending. From director Chris McKay, Renfield brings Dracula to modern-day New Orleans as his long-time titular henchman decides to explore life outside his master’s debased shadow.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 5 Critics Don’t Agree On Renfield’s Balance Of Gore, Action & Comedy Universal's theatrically-released movie Renfield is a genre mashup of gory horror, bloody action, and comedy, but critics are split regarding how well the balance pays off. Some reviews suggest that Renfield goes overboard with its gory action while not putting enough bite into its wit and comedic beats, ultimately leaving the film half-baked.
4 Renfield’s Negative Reviews Think It Needed To Be More Campy Critics agree across the board that Nicolas Cage is giving his all as an outrageously fun and scary Dracula in Renfield, but the problem lies in the campiness of the rest of the movie. Renfield’s mixed reviews indicate that Cage’s Dracula is campy enough, but the story and other performances aren’t up to the same level as the Oscar winner.
Although Renfield’s mixed reviews generally agree on the fact that the movie’s storytelling capabilities are lacking, critics are split on how important this is to whether the movie works or not. More positive reviews suggest that Renfield is still a fun and entertaining time, with gory action and horror jokes that outweigh the narrative shortcomings.
