Episode 220: 'Renfield' Special Edition
from Adventures in Movies! · host Blake Heath/Nathaniel Muir
***SPOILER WARNING!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITION WE WILL BE DISCUSSING SPECIFIC PLOT POINTS***Every trailer for Renfield made a few things clear. The film was going to be silly and it was going to be bloody. Very very bloody. There are lots of great comedy-horror movies, but when the mix does not work, it makes for a bad viewing experience. We talk about how well it worked here and how it is closer to The Naked Gun than Nosferatu.Another big part of the trailers was the support group that Renfield appears to be a part of. They played a bigger part that some may expect. Even more shocking, they showcase some of the best writing in Renfield. But was it a little too much or the perfect addition to an already silly movie?Renfield does not shy away from violence and has what will end up being some of the bloodiest scenes of the year. It was like a midnight movie brought to mainstream audiences. The film definitely knows it audience, not only ramping up the violence, but giving little in the way of a backstory. It is easily one of the most refreshing decisions in cinema in recent years.Of course, the most buzz will be around Cage. The internet's favorite actor puts on another fantastic performance. We compare it to some of this other roles and gush about how Cage would be a mega star in any era. Does he live up to expectations or are we simply fanboying out?Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
