Renfield

Details

Described by The Hollywood News as 'disarmingly charming, explosively gory, and wickedly funny', Renfield stars Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies) in the title role, as the long-suffering assistant to bloodsucker Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage, Long Legs).

Created by Robert Kirkman (the man behind smash hit zombie TV series The Walking Dead), and directed by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie), the film also stars Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians) and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Rec), and features a score by Marco Beltrami (World War Z).

Packed with laughs, splattery special effects, and featuring one of Cage's most bugged-out and brilliant performances, Renfield is a 'delight to watch' (Collider), and a must for fans of ghoulish horror comedies like What We Do In The Shadows and Lisa Frankenstein. Renfield is available in a gorgeous Steelbook edition, with a host of extras including an audio commentary, deleted scenes, featurettes and more.

Synopsis

Behind every great monster is an overworked sidekick: Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss: Dracula (Nicolas Cage).

For centuries, Renfield has slavishly served Dracula by procuring his master's prey and doing his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, Renfield is ready to look for a new life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness, if only he can figure out how to end the toxic, codependent relationship...

Renfield features an immortal cast alongside Cage including Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise), Awkwafina (The Farewell, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation, House of Lies), Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, iGilbert), Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog, House of Saddam), and Brandon Scott Jones (Ghosts, The Good Place).

Directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) and written by Ryan Ridley (Rick & Morty, Community) from a story by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead, Invincible), the edgy horror comedy is produced by Skybound Entertainment and Giant Wildcat.

Renfield is released in a collectable UHD Steelbook edition from 21st October 2024 by Altitude Film Distribution.
