Synopsis

Having grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula's lackey, Renfield finds a new lease on life — and maybe even redemption — when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy.

The Fear Score take

This is horror with its tongue firmly in its cheek — a splatter comedy that trades sustained dread for gleeful arterial excess. The scares here are punctuation, not the sentence: a gothic menace played for laughs, punctured by geysers of gore. Your pulse rises from spectacle and shock, not creeping unease.
