Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite a history of turning down non-leading roles in studio films, Nicolas Cage signed on to play Dracula. It was a life-long dream of his to portray the legendary figure.
- GoofsWhen Dracula goes to the building where the therapy group meets to find Renfield, it is night time. But when Dracula walks around the room talking to Renfield, the windows high up on the walls behind him clearly show it is daytime.
- Crazy creditsDuring the whole credits, snippets of the film and added footage are shown in a old-fashion style.
- Alternate versionsWhen it was released theatrically in Australia, the violence has been edited for the film to get an MA15+ rating. But later, the unedited/uncut R18+ version would be released on digital.

Featured review
Pulpy, fun and over the top in all the right ways
I don't think anybody is going into Renfield thinking they're going to see an oscar winner. They're going in expecting a fun, comedic thriller about Dracula's servant, with an excellent Nicolas Cage performance. On that front Renfield delivers. The jokes are hilarious punches at the Dracula lore presented, the action is over the top and ridiculously bloody, and the story is servicable enough to satisfy. My only issue with the film is there are parts where the dialouge feels like it was written by a teenager and there are certain illogical plot holes that seemed to just be an issue as far as editing goes. If the filmmakers had just switched a few scenes around, they could've avoid that. They also show you a lot of the good scenes in the trailer, but there was still more fun to be had besides that stuff as well. Overall, an enjoyable experience that doesn't overstay it's welcome with a brisk 90 minute runtime. I would recommend this on Cage's performance alone, but the film also stood up on it's own as well.
