Dans cette histoire de monstres moderne sur le fidèle serviteur de Dracula, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max : la route du chaos, la franchise X-Men) interprète Renfield, l’assistant tourmenté du patron le plus narcissique de l’histoire, Dracula (Nicolas Cage, lauréat aux OscarsMD). Renfield est condamné à trouver des proies pour son maître et il s’exécute avec servilité, peu importent la bassesse et la mesquinerie de ses missions. Mais après des siècles de soumission, Renfield est prêt à découvrir s’il existe une vie loin de l’ombre du Prince des Ténèbres, dont il doit apprendre à se libérer.

Soaked with bloody fun and overflowing with toxic relationships, RENFIELD comes home in a Dracula Sucks Edition with 60 minutes of darkly humorous and captivating never-before-seen bonus content, including deleted scenes and featurettes that dives deeper into the cutting-edge comedy and the secrets behind turning a classic tale into a modern monster movie.

“Super fun from start to finish” (Buzzfeed), 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 MittyiGilbert), Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog, “House of Saddam”), and Brandon Scott Jones (“Ghosts”, “The Good Place”).

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, co-dependent relationship…
