When your superpower grosses you out, who do you call?<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Renfield<\/strong><\/em><\/a> (2023) is that movie you’ve always dreamed of making, Count Dracula and his minion having to deal with a world that is self-conscious and has schadenfreude<\/em>. A world in which evil vs evil can still lead to cheerleading.<\/p>\n

Where corruption can, indeed, be burned right down to the ground by a dumpy cop and her stuttering … whatever he is.<\/p>\n

That the stuttering Renfield is actually reminiscent of the acting style of Hugh Grant is a bit disquieting, I have to admit, and the violence is that inflated sort where, after a while, all you can do is groan and cry out, ARE YOU KIDDING?!<\/strong><\/p>\n
