In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (THE MENU) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Nicolas Cage, MANDY). 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.

RENFIELD is directed by Chris McKay (THE TOMORROW WAR) from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (GHOSTED, RICK & MORTY), based on an original idea by THE WALKING DEAD and INVINCIBLE creator Robert Kirkman.

The film co-stars Awkwafina (THE FAREWELL), Ben Schwartz (THE AFTERPARTY) and Adrian Martinez (THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY) and Emmy winner and Oscar-nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG).
