If you enjoy a trash movie to close the week, Trashflix has a new thing: every Friday we bring a special suggestion to watch alone, as a couple or with the gang. Today the pick is irresistible – Nicolas Cage returns to the vampire universe, but this time as Dracula himself, while the real protagonist is Renfield, his faithful henchman.
Forget the classic adaptations of Bram Stoker. “Renfield – Giving Blood for the Boss” mixes bloody horror and slapstick humor, focusing on the weary life of a servant who decides to quit the millennial CLT job serving the lord of shadows. The film follows Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) seeking support in a group of victims of abusive relationships, while trying to escape the manipulative claws of Dracula (Nicolas Cage). The plot intertwines with the investigation of a stubborn police officer, generating exaggerated‑violence scenes that trash fans love.
