Nicolas Cage as Dracula was always the selling point for Renfield. Donning the iconic cape, resembling the classic Bela Lugosi iteration, and emphasizing his bloodthirsty canines, the actor outshines the character in the comedic and light-hearted spiritual successor to Universal’s most prized monster movie.
Cage’s wild gaze, backed by a perfectly corresponding makeup (in Dracula’s both grotesque-looking & flamboyant attires), is further highlighted by a hint of an accent that the character owes to his Transylvanian roots – all of it making the maverick actor steal the show throughout. An iconic figure , previously played by the likes of Lugosi and Gary Oldman, gets a new life with an equally iconic actor, who in Renfield’s comedic setting, brings a profoundly fresh and alternative take to his portrayal.
