Peter Travers reviews "Renfield," starring Nicolas Cage, in theaters now.

Dracula's sidekick finally gets his day in the sun

"Renfield" sounds fun, with Nicholas Hoult tiring of serving Nicolas Cage's Dracula. But Awkwafina is the best thing about Chris McKay's campy movie.

Great performances from Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina and even Nicolas Cage as Dracula aren't enough to save this lacklustre new vampire film, writes Caryn James.

The vampire’s a pain in the neck to his weary right-hand man (Nicholas Hoult) in the slick, fast-paced origin story.

Get ready, because there’s yet another new take on Dracula. But no need to brace yourself, because Renfield feels surprisingly fresh. 

“Renfield” has fine, crafty actors in its corner. The reliable Nicolas Cage, a guy who always gives 110%, is in there, sprinkling delightful expressions ...

“Renfield” is a cheeky homage to the vampire genre that blends horror and comedy into a beyond-bloody cocktail, starring Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage.

The violent R-rated comedy Renfield stars Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as the titular familiar. Read our review here.

The horror comedy, starring Cage and Nicholas Hoult, ribs the toxic vampire/familiar relationship, but is a tonal — and bloody — mess.

This screenplay has bats in its belfry, in a bad way.

From campy performances to buckets of blood, 'Renfield' is a ridiculous and entertaining horror-comedy best seen with a crowd.

Renfield isn't a classic monster movie, but there are plenty of eye-bugging moments in this neon-drenched, blood-soaked comedy horror.

RENFIELD is a new horror comedy that is so insanely bloody it should be called a splatter comedy. Read our RENFIELD movie review here >

Review: We have a bloody good time with Renfield, starring Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage as an iconic Count Dracula.

With Nicholas Hoult in the title role and Nicolas Cage as Dracula, "Renfield" gets a lot of gory entertainment out of its one-joke concept.

Nicholas Hoult plays Count Dracula’s long-suffering servant in Chris McKay’s underwhelming horror-comedy.

Of course, Nic Cage as Dracula is pretty damn good.

The vampire comedy is bouncy, clever, fun, and extremely bloody, but dramatically inert.

A delightfully daft take on the classic horror villain

As the Count from “Sesame Street” would say, “TWO stars! Ah, ah, ah.”

There isn’t a genuine shred of originality anywhere in sight.

A sideways look at what it’s like to work for Dracula isn’t the worst idea. But if you’ve seen ‘What We Do in the Shadows,’ you’ve seen it funnie...

Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult’s vampire horror-action-comedy is distracted, cynical, and clumsy on all fronts

The last time Nicolas Cage bared his fangs – in 1988’s Vampire’sKiss – his performance was widely criticized (and, in some circles,praised) for being...

The material that’s meant to beef up this story is so bland and underdeveloped, it makes Renfield feel like a sketch concept stretched thin to feature length.

Let it never be said that Nicolas Cage doesn’t deliver fair value every time he pops up on screen. Challenging indie dramedy, chewy support in an A-picture...

Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage and Awkwafina star in a comedic interpretation of the famed characters.

Nicolas Cage's gleeful Dracula raises the stakes of this otherwise forgettable horror-action-comedy hybrid

It sucks.

He may be off-screen for a large part of Renfield, but the actor gives a barnstorming performance as Dracula.

In “Renfield,” a misfire in every way imaginable, at least Nicolas Cage seems to be having fun.

Suffering from genre dysphoria, Renfield has all elements in place for a hilarious comedy but ultimately takes itself just a little too seriously for its con...

Renfield is a #NotAllMonsters comedy that struggles mightily to maintain its one good idea

Chris McKay's 'Renfield' is a solid horror-comedy with an instant classic Nicolas Cage performance as Count Dracula.

Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage work perfectly in the kooky Universal comedy "Renfield" that might bring new bite to the Dark Universe.

"Renfield" comes to VOD, but Nicolas Cage already made a great vampire movie back in 1988.

Channeling Bela Lugosi, Nicolas Cage has campy bite as a bossy Count Dracula, but the horror comedy 'Renfield' is far from a bloody good time.

Nicholas Hoult plays Dracula's disciple in an ultraviolent vampire action movie that's mostly a flip grab bag.

Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage are fun when playing Renfield and Dracula as a dysfunctional work relationship — shame about the rest of the movie.

The Count outshines his titular familiar in 'Renfield,' a comedic and light-hearted take on Universal's famous classic monster.
