Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage are fun when playing Renfield and Dracula as a dysfunctional work relationship — shame about the rest of the movie.
; he has a talent for timing and for playing pompous dweebs who never know as much as they think they do. He’s funny in, even when tasked with doing a full-on record-scratch “You’re probably wondering”–style voice-over, perhaps because his take on that comedy rests on sweetness.
Leaning heavily on the motormouth shtick that has defined most of her roles, Awkwafina feels miscast here, though at least some of that is due to her having to play the only cop in New Orleans who isn’t on the payroll of the Lobo crime family but who’s nevertheless repeatedly shocked when no one wants to help her take down the Lobo crime family.
The second-best is one in which Renfield finally decides to open up to a support group for people in co-dependent or abusive relationships. Moderated by Brandon Scott Jones as Mark, the support-group scenes are where the premise is explored most enjoyably — if there is a sketch at the heart of this movie, it starts and ends in that church, and all the gory but not especially well staged action really does play like filler.
