Evil doesn’t span eternity without a little help. In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar winner Nicolas Cage).
Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased.
But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
The Renfield movie co-stars Awkwafina (The Farewell, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic, The Afterparty), and Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Focus).
Emmy winner and Oscar nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Saddam, House of Sand and Fog) also stars.
Renfield is directed by Chris McKay (The Tomorrow War, The LEGO Batman Movie) from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (Ghosted series, Rick & Morty series).
The film is based on an original idea by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman.
The movie is produced by Skybound Entertainment partners Robert Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Invincible), co-presidents Bryan Furst (Daybreakers) and Sean Furst (Daybreakers) and by Chris McKay.
McKay’s producing partner Samantha Nisenboim (co-producer, The Tomorrow War) executive produces the film.
Renfield is rated R for bloody violence, some gore, language throughout and some drug use by the MPA.
