We Ruin Movies's video: Renfield Reaction

This is the highlight for the Renfield Watch Party. Jerm & Ryan react live to the 2023 action horror comedy, Renfield, with a short review at the end. Jerm's opinions are his own, and even he doesn't take them that seriously. Ryan, however, is 100% serious, except for when he isn't. This video is for entertainment purposes. Join the Watch Party Massacre with Jerm (& sometimes Ryan) on his personal Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/carnivorousbrain Renfield is a 2023 American action comedy horror film directed and produced by Chris McKay, and written by Ryan Ridley from a story by Robert Kirkman, who also served as producer. Inspired by characters from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker, the film stars Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Brandon Scott Jones, Adrian Martinez, and Nicolas Cage. The film tells a story of the character Renfield from the Dracula universe. The film entered development hell after the commercial failure of The Mummy (2017). Kirkman later pitched a new version of the film, leaning more into the comedic aspects of the story, and the production rights were acquired by Skybound Entertainment. Dexter Fletcher was originally announced as director in 2019, but McKay eventually replaced him, working off the Ridley script and Kirkman's original pitch. Much of the cast joined between August 2021 to January 2022, and filming took place from February to August 2022. Renfield had its world premiere at the Overlook Film Festival on March 30, 2023, and was released in the United States on April 14, 2023, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the comedic tone and performances but criticized the screenplay and story. It grossed $26.7 million worldwide against its budget of $65 million, making it a box office flop. Patreon.com/WeRuinMovies Twitter.com/WeRuinMovies Twitch.tv/WeRuinMovies WARNING!
