Evil doesn’t span eternity without a little help. At least that’s what the tag reads for Universal’s “Renfield.” Directed by Chris McKay (“The Tomorrow War,” “The LEGO Batman Movie”) from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley (“Ghosted” series, “Rick & Morty” series), based on an original idea by “The Walking Dead” and “Invincible” creator Robert Kirkman, the film is a modern-day tale about toxic relationships, but with a twist. It’s centered on Renfield (Nicholas Hoult), Dracula’s mistreated loyal servant who has to procure victims for Dracula to feast on. Tired of living a life where he’s unappreciated, Reinfield wants to see if there is more to life than just bringing his lord victims.
