Can't help but imagine all this befalling my toxic ex.

What stands out
Nicolas Cage... uncaged! His sleek, icky Dracula is perfectly Mephistophelian: an occasional wink, a wide grin showing his grimy, razor-sharp teeth, and the manners, oh the manners! Enter a truly funny villain. There's this ongoing joke that Cage never misses in his roles, and even when he does, he doesn't, but films like Renfield really show the full spectrum of his character transformations. Yes, the prostheses are impressive, his green-grey skin perfectly toned, the cape – leather and elegant, but what he does with gestures, tilts of the head, and line delivery is purely exquisite. Oh, and his ring collection, I want that. His presence even manages to rub off poor Hoult here, who can barely string two convincing sentences in a role. At least one Nic got it right.
