The best things about Renfield is the black and white Dracula bits and anything with Dracula and Renfield together. The action is strange, the horror is nonexistent, and the humor is very hit and miss.

[@Tankmin]

I was so angry that instead of just showing the black and white scenes, they couldn't help themselves from putting pointless voice over narration over it. the writing in this movie was painful

[@motherplayer]

I feel this movie is gonna have some legs in time. It may not be amazing, but I feel it'll be remembered a lot better than most of it's ilk, for better or worse. Also like how Renfield just straight up joins mobsters near the end and how that does make sense that an organization that has little value of human life beyond their own in business would get him the particulars he needed. And yes, I agree the best stuff was at the start and the surprisingly creatively gore at times.

renfield feels like a walmart version of what we do in the shadows. the servant of a narcissistic vampire is disgruntled with his life of servitude, and battles with the thought of leaving the clearly abusive relationship, even with this vampire throwing a tantrum over the servant’s attempts at helping himself. except what we do in the shadows is actually funny and the horror elements are used in a way that makes sense.

I work as a cinema programmer, so I’m part of the decision-making for what we want to show and negotiate with distributors. When we approached Universal if we could show this movie they literally said: ‘you can skip this one, it’s fine’ in my native language. This usually never happens

[@bijibadness]

the ad for the "Pocket Champs" phone game is the most brilliant thing Mr. Movie Maker has ever done, by far. that's amazing. that's parody on a whole other level, because I'm assuming that crazy game footage had to be made by somebody. probably outsourced to a CGI channel like Doug Walker did for his _The Wall_ parody. really strong work, and REALLY strong parody because it's extremely believable. the best parody is almost indistinguishable from the real deal, and the reason this works so well is the channel is so famously caustic and cynical towards such things. and actually, speaking of which, I remember a while back Ralph The Movie Maker reviewed the Nostalgia Cricket's infamous _The Wall_ parody. and as he watched that disaster and cruelly laughed at it, Mr. Movie Maker paused the video during an embarrassing advertisement - I remember it was some service called "Honey" - and Ralph said he worried of some day becoming that. of becoming a shill personality like Doug Walker who will shills for crap like Honey™. or "Pocket Champs". and it's that history - this was YEARS ago - that gives Ralph's parody such weight (there's even a link)! like, how many years now of RTMM criticism that rips apart stuff exactly like that? there's even the ridiculous ad fronting the whole video Description? [Chef's Kiss.] this is next level stuff. this is advanced parody on a level I'm not sure I've actually seen before. _extremely_ strong work. that's amazing. Andy Kaufman would be proud.

Love the gulag set up and the cell mate character. Your thoughts on the film are also very on point. It's weird that between this and Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Nic Cage is in a bit of a trend of taking on films with incredible concepts that get bogged down by half-baked subplots.
