"Not another vampire movie" "It has Nick Cage in it" "Put that on"

[@shainewhite2781]

Renfield is a very funny vampire horror action comedy film! Nicolas Cage was perfect as Dracula, saying in an interview that it was his childhood dream to play the vampire count.

[@BraveImmortal101]

He’s alive cause 😂 he didn’t die

[@Chuck_EL]

I love this movie and the what if approach

[@CoralCopperHead]

"A busload of cheerleaders" Oh yeah, 'cause _that's_ gonna be a source of pure blood.

[@alexkatc59]

Lol, it is impossible.

[@Ninehusss]

Looool

[@hackman669]

Cheerleaders ain't pure 😅

[@mrslasher1064]

Yeah,don't go for the hoes that get trains ran on them by every sport's team their school has to offer,if you want pure blood get Renfield to sweet talk some fat nerdy cheek at a bar,the only man who has every been able to stomach touching her was her dad...

[@StrandCanvasStudios]

Yall still think casual misogyny is funny?😅

[@grantpflum6844]

I think it was the fact that Rienfield put that doormat there that made it work, not just the fact that there was a doormat. Otherwise Dracula could just carry a doormat around with him everywhere.

[@mathieubordeleau150]

Nicholas Cage is at his best when ha can be as hammy as he wants in a movies that does not take itself seriously.

[@Chuck_EL]

He's literally a perfect actor to play Dracula or Mephisto

[@mikewaterfield3599]

Nicholas Cage has had a wild ride of a career.

You missed the reference at 25:03 - he says hail Satan, then is attacked with a morningstar. Morningstar is the moniker of Lucifer.

[@FISHYFILMPRODUCTIONS]

Something else worth mentioning, in traditional vampire lore, Dracula has been able to control wolves. The spanish name for wolf lobo/loba

I love this thank you!

Nick Cages performance was weirdly captivating. Funny as hell, but he genuinely felt like a cold blooded monster.

[@kevinskywalker5539]

fun fact - in the blade movies, a familiar has a different meaning. it's someone who works for a vampire, and if served well, the familiar will get turned. no other vampires are allowed to touch/feed on the familiar, because if the vampire does, this will be a problem, and will have to answer to that vampire the familiar worked for.

[@thomassnell5384]

Familiars used to be called human servants. Vampires bite them one time, but don't kill them. The vampire gives the person some of its blood in return. This turns the human into the vampire's servant. Still alive, but under vampire control. They go out in sunlight. There's a song called "The Ballad of Dwight Frye" by Alice Cooper. It's about the man who played the original Renfield.

[@stickiedmin6508]

Did he ever get out of there, do you think?

[@Movieland33012]

This was a fun movie , wasn’t expecting to be “WOW’d” or that this was going to win awards

[@qjsharing2408]

I love it when a trailer is honest, like this one. If you saw the trailer, you know what the movie was going to be like

[@RedTail1-1]

Reinfield can heal to an extent though. He survived having his intestines on the outside for a long time, and didn't bleed out either. Maybe they can't physically regenerate, but they can at least survive being mortally wounded. Which makes the other familiars being killed off so easily a sort of plot hole.

[@oldleatherhandsfriends4053]

Well renfield has been a familiar longer. That probably has an effect .

[@joshrodriguez2711]

Id normally agree with u but renfield has been in draculas service for years consuming more of draculas blood then anyone else which I can see clearly makes him more powerful not too mention he has more experience

[@stormbringer2840]

@@joshrodriguez2711yeah he served for centuries.

[@tonychavarria3278]

Just wanted to let you know that you're doing awesome job that's why I really like this channel and it was about time you did a renfield I was just waiting on it

[@RPumpkinQueen]

The Great War is not a nickname for WWI but the original name since a WWII wasn't predicted at the time.

[@paulshri8609]

That morphing of the original black and white movie with the characters...cleverly done.

[@fetchcohen3]

I didn’t skip past the ad. Keep up the good work. Interesting video on a movie I thought was funny to watch and far more gory than expected.

[@scionixx9568]

Ever since I found your channel last year, I’ve been eagerly waiting for every new upload! I love the material and your commentary, thanks for the hard work 👍

[@Ghost-yw9pd]

fun fact, a familiar is a companion for witches' is various european folklore, often taking a form of an animal, like a raven, dog, or cat. I like how it kind of reflect Reinfeld, as they can often be described as servants, doing the witches dirty work, although it is usually more wholesome, as the familiar is often a friend and ally, not a slave

[@hisLoneliness2961]

8:25 Quincy? Like the cowboy in branm stoker?

[@stickiedmin6508]

Nicely spotted! I completely missed that one when I watched the movie.

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

Missed a connection; Hoult was in 'Tolkien', as J R R Tolkien- who was in - the Great War (WWI)...

[@TimedRevolver]

It seems that Dracula has to actively remove a familiar's powers. Him getting rocked in the past proves that doesn't take a familiar's power away. That also means he may have let Renfield win the fight because he knows he can't be truly killed. A bit of time in Hell, then he'll be back.

[@Tychal79]

I think a vampire turns people into a familiar by not bitting them, but get them to pledge their life and then the vampire drops their blood into the willing familiar mouth changing them.

[@aleksanderszablinski6941]

I cannot explain how much better and more confident you have gotten over your time doing youtube. You are very entertaining and I look forward to watching more of your stuff in the future big man.

[@Darth_malefic]

A good vampire tv show is moonlight about a P.I. Vampire it sadly only lasted one season because of a writers strike at the time

[@FullMoonOctober]

I really liked that show when it came out! I wasn't watching the news about the strike so I had no idea for years why it got canceled. They really let so many good shows go out of spite back then.

[@CLJlovesmal]

That's why? :'-( I liked it a lot.

[@dimasanil01]

Good to see you back. I was getting worried.

[@edgarjosetorrescotto1062]

In the Monster Hunter books the eldest vampires can enter a home with just a welcome mat or if they don't have one use glamour to make them welcome them in.

[@shawnwolf9240]

I enjoy your channel keep up the amazing work and I wish you the best in everything

[@Naedlus]

Actually, the novel Dracula could easily exist in a world that he does, due to its composition as an epistolary novel, one told through bits and pieces of literature that were written as though they were notes, that when put together tell a story. The only difference for the novel in the movie, vs. real life, would be that Bram Stoker would have been a journalist or conspiracy theorist in the movie, hunting down records from asylums, lost diaries, and land records, in comparison to the more mundane reality of "He made it all up."

[@danomfnhustle7253]

Yoooo one of my favorite channels kid

[@WolfShadowwhisper]

This was an epic movie and Cage's performance was stellar as usual. Is there any role this man cannot do?

[@otkiha69]

What did you think about the werewolves from the netflix series "The order". It has an interesting take on werewolves and you should cover them!

[@lemonZzzzs]

That building on the right of the world domination map looks a lot like the State Historical Museum between Red Square and Manege Square in Moscow

[@Vidar93]

Yep, I spent like an hour looking into cathedrals and other architecture trying to figure it out. I found like 8 different churches with very similar designs but obviously slightly different but figured it had to be somewhere in Russia or the USSR. Glad you confirmed it

[@DragonflyB-tn7pq]

I think Renfield had to ingest some of Dracula’s blood to become a familiar

[@hackman669]

Right on.😊

HOW TF DID YOU GET INTO MY HOUSE?????

[@Witandwitless]

As a storyteller for Vampire the Masquerade I 100% stole Nick Cage's Dracula as an NPC and his speech about what kinds of blood he likes for a few Ventrue. Players immediately disliked the vampire that can only feed on Cheerleaders. Was a fun back and forth of the guy trying to justify his type.

[@mysteryman4013]

[@parkersummerlin865]

[@crunchyfresco]

I like that movie. One of those movies that had good ideas but they didn't know what to do with it.

[@parkersummerlin865]

@@crunchyfresco Yeah, it had potential but the ball dropped hard because of the box office and reviews.

[@stickiedmin6508]

I *_really_* liked Aaron Eckhart in that one, and the idea of Frankenstein's Monster being dragged, unwillingly, into an ancient, supernatural war between good and evil was cool - I just couldn't take the Gargoyles seriously however. They just seemed goofy.

[@Trippp550]

Honestly, I thought this movie was going to be a 3 or 4 out of 10, and it ended up being a 7/10 (my own rating). This movie surprised me. I’m not a big fan of comedy movies. Especially horror comedy. From the trailers, I didn’t think I was going to like this Nicolas Cage version of Dracula. But despite the fact, it was Nicolas Cage and a comedy, I actually found his version of Dracula to be terrifying.. It wasn’t the best it could’ve been as I found a lot of the comedy, especially regarding the lobo gang and Ms Quincy, to be more on the cringe side, then on the funny side. But it was good enough that I would watch it again in the future once enough time has passed. Also, is it just me or does Dracula sometimes look like The Babadook? That’s probably why I thought he was so scary.

[@Dr_Larken]

I really enjoyed this movie! Which is rare nowadays! But 20:35 if Renfield was 20 in the 30s you would’ve been born around 1910’ish which would make him 110 years old or at least over 100 years old! Not 90 Fun fact, vampires don’t always take themselves seriously! But they know how to act civilized and conduct themselves among humans!

[@marcusmiller5443]

I dig your movie breakdowns, and your avatar intrigues me.

[@hamishsewell5990]

Will have to give this film a watch now, thanks. Vampires from Warhammer Fantasy perhaps?

[@snowwflaeke1322]

Listen, I know you don't really cover games, but after watching the vampire tier list from video games, I would really love to see you cover the vampires from a game called "Code Vein." They have a lot of interesting and semi-unique takes. Their powers, abilities, and personalities differ wildly, they utilize interesting equipment and even employ the idea of a Queen. The Queen herself harbors a dark secret.

[@jasonblundelldobebussing]

This movie was kinda shit, not gonna lie. But Nick was good as always, I like that he stopped taking himself seriously and went full-on "I payed my debts, and now I star in whatever I want" mode.

[@RedTail1-1]

Yeah, they took Dracula and made it into a woke #metoo movie. Whoever decided to take the classic Bram Stoker's Dracula and slap a liberal agenda over it needs to be fired without severance and everyone down the line who approved it need to all find new jobs.

This has the plot of The Mask (loosely); a guy with low self esteem is caught up in the world of the mob with ‘magical abilities’ that help him. In the end, he finds that confidence in himself and uses it to defeat the villain that is a complete 180 from him.
