Renfeels

 I went to see "Renfield" at the weekend. It looked terrible (I thought) from the trailers I've seen on social media, like the cheesiest Dracula of recent times in Nicolas Cage. I couldn't see myself getting much enthusiasm from loved ones to accompany me, so killing time before a flight was an ideal opportunity to see it on my own. 

It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed Nicholas Hoult's Renfield as an attendee of  Co-dependent Anonymous meetings, with self-help books trying to fend off Dracula as a narcissistic boss. It was a bit of a gorefest as well with some ridiculously squishy deaths. I liked Awkwafina in the role of hero cop.
