Let’s be honest. Nicolas Cage’s career was in a downward spiral for a long time. But then, he did The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and now it looks like it is climbing back up from the depths of hell.
Now the actor, who some people assume is immortal, is playing one in Renfield. In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (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 film looks like it is going to be a lighthearted and fun Vampire movie, just what the genre needs.
And so does Horror, which seems like it will have a good year thanks to Megan, Cocaine Bear, and now this on April 14th! Who needs superheroes when you can root for the killers?
