Renfield

SINK YOUR TEETH INTO A RENFIELD 4K UHD EDITION

Out on:4K 21st Oct. 2024

Nicolas Cage’s hilarious horror comedy RENFIELD is being released in a collectable 4K UHD edition from 21 October by Altitude.

Described by The Hollywood News as ‘disarmingly charming, explosively gory, and wickedly funny’, RENFIELD stars Nicholas Hoult (Warm Bodies) in the title role, as the long-suffering assistant to bloodsucker Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage, Long Legs). Created by Robert Kirkman (the man behind smash hit zombie TV series The Walking Dead), and directed by Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie), the film also stars Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians) and Ben Schwartz (Parks and Rec), and features a score by Marco Beltrami (World War Z).

Packed with laughs, splattery special effects, and featuring one of Cage’s most bugged-out and brilliant performances, RENFIELD is a ‘delight to watch’ (Collider), and a must for fans of ghoulish horror comedies like What We Do In The Shadows and Lisa Frankenstein. RENFIELD is available in a gorgeous 4K UHD edition, with a host of extras including an audio commentary, deleted scenes, featurettes and more.

SYNOPSIS:
Behind every great monster is an overworked sidekick: Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss: Dracula (Nicolas Cage). For centuries, Renfield has slavishly served Dracula by procuring his master’s prey and doing his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, Renfield is ready to look for a new life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness, if only he can figure out how to end the toxic, codependent relationship…
