Trailer: The latest look at Renfield is here and he’s a… hero?

Nicolas Cage is the Dark Lord Dracula with Nicholas Hoult starring as the title character in Renfield. But is this a horror story, or a superhero tale?

Well… he does eat bugs

In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar^® winner 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.
