I had the chance to catch the film, Renfield at the theatre with my niece and grandma. I have to say, it was a blast. It was a good watch and a good time. The only thing that disappointed me was all the CGI. I love when gore is done the old way. Ya know? Something my friend Cig (Neutron) would create. It feels more visceral and real when done with corn syrup and the genius of the artists who have to figure out how to make these things look real through loads of latex and blood pumps.
But beyond the horrible CGI, I loved the slow progression and makeup used on Nicholas Cage. It was grimy, sticky, and gross which is everything I look for in a horror film. You could tell all through out the creation of the film that Cage enjoyed himself and he paired well with Nicholas Hoult.
Please give this movie a chance and see it on the big screen. You will laugh all the way through.
