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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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."
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 👍
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Loved this one! Both the movie and your video. The tidbit about copala not wanting to work with cage was interesting lore too. Thanks for all the work you put into these 🖤
Actually the welcome mat floor trick has been done before within the Vampire Diaries. That's how Elijah managed to get around the whole you cannot be invited inside of a house
Please do the BBC mini series called Ultraviolet - from the late 1990s. Idris Elba, Steven Moyer and Jack Davenport in early roles. It is available on RU-vid if you can't find a better copy. One of the best,'realistic' imagining of vampires.
Have you done a vid on the vampires and werewolves in Harry Potter? If not it might make a good video because I don't believe we get much info on them. Or the vamps and wolves in Middle Earth
I believe Renfield has his own healing factor, as a familiar he has heightened senses, strength, healing, and pretty much all the things Dracula has, just in lesser degree, he simply drops the blood to heal him, simply as a " see I healed you, why would you want for anything else, stop your complaining" you could actually see where his abdomen had begun to heal, it just works faster when Draculas blood is directly put on the wound
A familiar comes from drinking the vampires blood, but not having been bitten by the vampire, many familiars hope to one day be "blessed" by their vampire lord, and turned into a vampire and not just a familiar.
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.
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.
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.
@@RedTail1-1 You know Bram Stoker was inspired by the very lesbian vampire book "Carmilla" right? Also alot of racism in the book- not everything needs to be a 1-1 adaptation my guy. And Bram Stoker was a closeted queer man.
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. I only say this because of that shot-reverse-shot with Renfield beating Dracula’s face in; I could see Jim Carrey’s face yelling as sends hook shot after shot on the bad guy 😂
Nicolas Cage's movie Renfield was 100% badass and I enjoyed every second of it. It was actually so good that Aquafina didn't even bother me that much, and she shouldn't be in any movies
i read a fan theory, that this might be a continuation of the original dracula movie, and that dracula revived renfield, which is why he's still alive in the renfield movie, when he died in the original.
I thought this movie looked like a splatter good time (to use an ad line from another movie), and seeing this review just makes me want to see it even more.
This movie was fun. I had a LOT of trepidation when the teaser dropped, especially with how royally Hollywood has f**ked vampire lore, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was a corny action/horror/comedy that was just entertaining.
