If you’re expecting to see wall-to-wall Nicolas Uncaged as Dracula in the goofy and darkly funny gorefest that is “Renfield,” hey, they’re telling us in the title this is the story of Drac’s right-hand man. And that’s exactly what we get: a slick, fast-paced, action-packed origin story about one Robert Montague Renfield, whose greed and ambition got the better of him and sentenced him to a very long lifetime of tending to his master’s needs, most of which involved procuring a new batch of fresh victims and bringing them home for dinner.
However, Renfield’s duties do NOT include him washing Dracula’s cape. That’s Dry Clean Only, as the movie makes clear.
