Whoever thought of casting Nicolas Cage as Dracula deserves a raise!
It was indeed an awesome choice
It was probably Nicolas's idea
I honestly feel like this for anyone who casts Nic Cage.
I’m sure they make enough money already. If anything they could take a cut.
Disagree. Whoever can talk nic out of ever acting again, that person deserves a studio of their own.
Renfield eating bugs is a direct tie to the novel! His character eats roaches in the asylum where he’s kept 😊
I totally forgot about that!
And it seperates Dracula who only feasts the good stuff from Renfield who eats the literal cockroaches.
Not roaches. Flies. And spiders and cats. Some of the time, he eats a cat that ate a spider that ate a fly.
*Apparently that Elvis guy don't know shit about Dracula...book, penny dreadfuls, movies...he doesn't have a clue ! The direct reference to Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi at the beginning can't be more obvious, I mean these are Bela Lugosi scenes played by Nicholas Cage...Our Elvis guy thinks this is a reference to Murnau's Nosferatu...a movie shot 40 years earlier !!!*
Remember the character in Fright Night 2? He also ate bugs….
People often make fun of Nicolas Cage's acting style, but for movies where you need a character who is over the top, ridiculous, or insane it works out well.
If you need someone who acts like his skull is about to pop out his face, you are not going to cast Mark Wahlberg.
He's a very talented actor, he just got massively in debt and had to be in a bunch of terrible films. He is amazing in Raising Arizona and Leaving Las Vegas
@@Nantosuelta most forgot he got a oscar for best actor in leaving las vegas
@@NantosueltaI thought he paid all of that off by now, though.
theres also pig@@Nantosuelta
The bug thing is actually a canon part of the source material. In the Dracula book, Renfield is a patient in a mental asylum who claims that he will get his masters' powers, if he consumes the life of other beings. He starts with bugs but later on escalates to mice and kittens
yeah vampire familiars being referred to as bug eaters is a known trope... its not out of left field.
@@ThePorpoisepower because its out of... Ren...field eh? EH? 👉😎👉
@@dvaerggrisene😭 ur so cheesy dude i luv u
I was looking for this comment… I knew it had to be here somewhere :D :D
You missed my favorite joke of the movie, when Dracula shows up to Renfield’s apartment Renfield acts surprised as to how he got in but then he looks back and notices a mat that says “welcome” in front of the door
The mat doesn't just say welcome it literally says come on in who ever thought that up was genius
@@dannydorito9134love that they don't comment on it at all, just trust the audience to know the lore
Honestlyyy, when Renfield screams at the guy from group not to welcome Dracula in, it finally hit me why he stared at the welcome mat. It was a nice GENTLE reference and it was beautifully done!
Best joke in the movie imo
I really liked renfield, I found all the old timey vampire rules to be hilarious such as the welcome mat letting Dracula in and such. I also really liked the comic book style violence just being so over the top and comical. The only part that kinda killed it for me was the gang being kind of surface level imo. Nicholas cage as Dracula was a god tier choice and we need more of it. Overall a good movie and I will rewatch it for sure.
How much of a role does Aquafina play cause I am so sick of her after the Scuttle Rap
@@lawrencetalbot8346 Too large. Way too large. Drags down the entire movie.
@@SirArthurTheGreat well then I’ll wait until this comes to streaming cause no way I’m giving her my money.
@@lawrencetalbot8346 eh? What's a water bottle company have to do with a movie?
@@lawrencetalbot8346man a lot. She was irritating in every scene she was in. But damn Hoult and Nic Cage, as well as the side characters carried it. But damm Awkwafina is super annoying.
i kind of wished you talked a bit more about nicholas hoults performance, he does a very good job playing a character who we have to feel sorry for, his comedic delivery is very great, he manages to make me care for awkwafinas character solely because of how much he cares for her and his chemistry with nic cage is amazing, they really manage to make this movie work and you can tell that both of them really cared, i hope they will work again in other projects because i really enjoyed the two nics together
Yesss! Nicholas Cage is Amazing no doubt, but Nicholas Hoults did such a good job! I loved him so much!
@@bubblegum9826he is really cute lol 😻
Hoult is almost overshadowed in the movie about his character, but only because cage takes over the screen in an awesome way a lot of the time
@@dillpickle663yeah as much as I like Nicolas Hoult it’s hard to overshadow Nick Cage.
Yes! That’s exactly what I like about Nicolas Hoult but wasn’t able to describe. He has such great on screen chemistry with anyone he works with no matter how seemingly ridiculous.
Awkwafina’s character was tolerable in this movie because the way he treated her gave me a fraction of the feels as when he played Nux in Mad Max and was so damn sweet and caring with Capable.
One of my favorite scenes is when Renfield asks the scorched Dracula, "are you alright?" and Dracula has been reduced to a match head with eyes and simply says, "NO."
Ok
It wasn't just cheerleaders. Dracula said something like, "a loving couple, some nuns, or a busload of cheerleaders." Renfield sits down to eat, looks up, and spots a loving couple, some nuns, and a busload of cheerleaders pulling into the parking lot and entering the restaurant.
Yeah, before the cheerleaders arrived on a bus, there were already 2 nuns in a table.
don't forget the unsuspecting tourists lol
I'm pretty sure the loving couple were also foreigners (in ancestry at least).
Aka, they could have been an unsuspecting loving tourist couple...
I wish someone loved me as much as Elvis loves Nicolas Cage.
Here's a hug for you 🤗🤗
I love the trend of making movies specifically for Nick Cage, I don't know if this is the case here but it feels like it for sure, he is his own genre, amazing.
Small funfact: the flashback-sequence isn't only inspired by old vampire-movies, these scenes are literally taken out of the 1931-Dracula movie with Bela Lugosi, just with the two Nic(h)olas'es taking over the spot of him and Dwight Frye. It's pretty sweet and one of the reason I love this movie way more than I should, it really feels like someone appreciates the old universal monster-flicks the same way I do.
I would totally go see a shot for shot remake of the 1931 Dracula staring these 2
This plot has its holes. Every story does... But that scene in which Dracula tries to turn his abuse upon Renfield in his apartment was nothing short of tragic. Seeing that process of someone who's spent years and years beating you down, only to turn around and tell you that it's your fault is terrifyingly accurate. Narcissists and abusers will always either deny or rationalize their abuse.
This movie isn't amazing in any traditional sense, but it's incredibly relevant and impactful to a lot of people who have had relationships like this. Whether it be with romantic partners or even parents.
Omg
Cinema therapy covered this and they spent quite a lot of time on this scene. Really eye opening for someone like me who is lucky enough not to have been in a relationship like this to help understand it.
Cage doing an insane Lugosi and the writing then expanding it overall is outstanding.
That's a really standout scene. I felt horrible for Renfield
As someone who was in a relationship like this the movie really spoke to me. Other than the parts where he improves and stands up for himself 🤷♂️
So fun trivia, they actually wanted Nic Cage to act like Bela Lugosi Dracula and match all of the possible scenes and mannerisms. I think he fucking nailed them
Dang, really? That’s pretty cool
Nah, that's just Nic Cage on his daily routine when they turned on the camera.
There is an interview that he said that he studied the previous actors that played Dracula.
She knew where the switch was because Teddys mom literally closed the blinds and put it on the table right in front of her lol, also it was marked. Also they defeating Dracula was a process. I think ending with a protection circle was perfect to cap off the movie and then finding it on tumblr is hilarious
My fiance and I love this movie. The whole metaphor of being in a toxic, abusive relationship was so spot on for us as we both have been in a relationshit before.
Reinfeild still being alive after the events of the 1931 movie implies that he just has to get up from below the stairs and walk it off and I just think that’s fucking hilarious
*widely grins and cackles like a sickly hyena* 😬
i also like how the movie (for some reason) tries to retcon renfield becoming a familiar as being his own decision. yeah ok, i guess someone who is drugged, hypnotized, and driven literally insane is perfectly capable of making their own decisions.
How did you manage to misspell his name so badly 😅
*Everybody put 100% into their performance* except from Awkafina.. and it really dragged the movie down with her subplot - Nicholas Hoult and Nicolas Cage and Ben Schwartz were hilarious in this movie.
I feel like thats just how she rolls. She's only a big star because of her distinctive voice and quirky name
She's ALWAYS been insufferable
Sceptile29 - she must know some people or something to keep landing her roles in these major projects… cos everyone was giving an amazing performance and she’s just playing it like she’s in a Seth Rogen movie.
Yeah she’s pretty awful in everything.
And she named herself after bottled water.
That’s all needed to know to not see this movie. Idk why she keeps getting casted. She is the Asian Amy Schumer.
Nicolas Cage is honestly one the best actors out there, even if he's in a bad movie he gives it his all. And when he's in a good movie, he makes it amazing
My friend and I went on opening night, and it's a shame the theater wasn't even full because the whole audience had a blast. So much fun camp. It was exactly what I expected it to be, but even better. The nods to Bela Lugosi and the original story about the character Renfield from the book Dracula are amazing too.
I love so much how this is canonically a continuation of the 1933 bela lugosi dracula movie, for that one you see they do only eyes illuminated by a slit of light and I was happy with that. Cage doesn't just play Dracula he plays Bela Lugosi's Count Dracula.
YesYaaaasssssss 🎉
I can't believe we had to wait 90 years for a sequel smh
@@inesproximaIt had a sequel, Daughter of Dracula back in the day. How Dracula didn't die in the Lugosi movie or do they use Castlevania logic of him respawning?
This movie is SO, so good. My guess is the not so positive reviews are just people whose humor wasn't the target audience. This movie hit so many marks for me. It was so funny.
Yeah it's good to see other people actually appreciate this movie
My guess is that the bad reviews are probably from people who did not enjoy the movie.
@@alexgac1801 I can see that. I felt like the humor wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. Also, Nic Cage isn't everyone's favorite. He's very dramatic, but I personally love it.
Yeah it just seems like critics these days are just hateful people who would rather just destroy the movie by just giving them bad reviews just for the sake of money
Me too me too
I went to the theatre not knowing what to expect and I was blown away by how much I loved this movie. So funny and good, it really deserved so much more love but I think it was just a poor time of year for a spooky movie release? It’s like a perfect movie
After watching City of Angels twice, it so amazing how NC goes from a serious role to a silly one like Renfield. Nicolas is a great actor 👼
I saw it yesterday and it was soooo fun! Exactly my type of movie. Over the top, campy, violent and hilarious.
SAME! I saw it a while ago, and I was cackling the whole time ❤️
Definitely jnot my type. These ki d of movies are boring asf. And are only for people who have brain rot.
The fact that MCR plays in the movie… my emo senses are tingling
This movie is a fever dream. I genuinely wonder what compelled someone to make this film, and I’m infinitely grateful they did
I've been patiently waiting for a little over a year to see you talk about this movie. I had the privilege of working on this production and constantly thought, "Man, I can't wait til Elvis sees this!" Renfield was one of the very few productions where I had fun while working. I LOVED working with my camera crew and still work with some of them to this day; I even got to operate the camera for the fight scene between Cage and Awkwafina. Nick Hoult, Nic Cage, and Awkwafina were some of the nicest actors I've ever met on set, especially Hoult. Cage is incredibly down to earth and humble, (not many actors are like that on set, so it was refreshing). I've heard from my coworkers that a lot of content was edited out of the final cut, which is a bummer. I unfortunately haven't had the time to watch the movie for myself just yet cause my life is currently a mess, but I intend on watching it soon. I'm so glad that Renfield is getting so much praise!
The best joke in the entire movie is dracula being able to enter renfield's home because renfield had one of those welcome mats and that counted as an invitation i guess.
Ironically so many people came for Nic Cage, but when I saw the trailer Nicholas Hoult was the one that sold this film for me lol. I haven't really seen him in anything else sense Warm Bodies, and I loved his performance there- So seeing the actor again it was just an immediate OO
EDIT: 14:00 This scene, is by far my favorite. The acting between both of them is done so well, I genuinely felt really uncomfortable, and emotional FOR Renfield during this whole exchange. So well done,
Last movie I saw of his was The Menu. He was amazing there playing as the asshole food reviewer. Highly recommend.
Watch The Menu if you want to see more Hoult. It was great.
Oh! That's where I recognized him from! I love his sad wet boy vibes!
Watch The Great
@@angelacruz5868 I feel like I'm being a nitpicky bitch, but I just have to say that Hoult's character, Tyler, wasn't really a reviewer (that was the snooty lady), he just considered himself a connoisseur and looked down on everyone else for not "knowing" as much about cooking or not "appreciating the experience" as he did. He was incredible in the role and he reminded me SO MUCH of a guy I once dated, just a pretentious prick who thought he was more cultured than everyone else because he watched b&w movies. Sorry for jumping on your comment - "The Menu" has become one of my favourite movies of all time and I just had to put in my two cents. Wait....that's pretty pretentious in itself.... oh my god......am I turning into a Tyler?!?!? 😳😱
Pretty sure Nicolas just wandered on set and he just went along with it as himself.
For someone who knows so much about movies, I'm surprised you didn't realize that the early, black-and-white scenes were shot for shot recreations of the 1931 Dracula movie with Bela Legosi. He was very clearly supposed to be the same version of Drac that Legosi portrayed.
The fact that Nicolas Cage gets to play one of his dream roles and also gets to be a real vampire.
The black and white flashbacks were shot-for-shot recreations of scenes from 1931's Dracula.
I love/despise how many obvious universal and hammer references are in this video that he clearly doesn't know anything about because he's just making content about whatever, he clearly knows nothing about classic horror
it's actually the real movie footage, they just swapped the actor's faces around. The effects here are amazing. I could barely tell.
@@ChainsawBunny92 nice
If I had a nickel for every Vampire movie that Elvis reviewed and loved on this channel, I’d have two nickels, which is not a lot, but is weird that it happened twice
What a performance by Cage. You get all his nuances in this film.
There is something you got wrong here Elvis, in the scene where Renfield first gets blamed for the massacre of the therapy group, her assumption that he was responsible actually makes more sense than you give credit for. You forget that before this, she watched him annihilate a group of armed gangsters, while doing stuff like chopping a dude's arms clean off with a dinner plate, and impaling a guy with a table. She's already seen Renfield do seemingly superhuman things before this point, so it makes sense for her to assume that he could massacre the church group with his bare hands.
It just hit me Elvis has never seen the original Universal Dracula before. The opening backstory scenes are almost shot for shot scenes from the og movie.
Going into this movie, I didn't expect to GENUINELY enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Renfield is one of my favorite classic literature characters, so the relief I felt when this was good was indescribable 🤣
14:10 I actually got to go to an early screening of the movie where the director did a Q&A, and he said there were only ever two people he considered for Dracula: Nicolas Cage and Daniel Day Lewis
I needed more of him in this. He was just so perfectly camp!!!!!
Nicolas Cage is a goddamn national treasure ✨
I’m Gonna steal the Niclaration of IndeCagence
B&W Nick Cage as Dracula actually looks really good in the nostalgia of Bela Lugosi.
Nick Cage never ceases to amaze us.
Been waiting for you to review this!!!
Renfield was great, I found it very amusing and I think all the actors had a lot of fun XD. Also Rebecca doesn't take him back to her place- Renfield brings her to his place. She passes out. It also makes sense that all the bodies would still be in the gym - her partner was supposed to call in the murders, and instead he called the Lobos and they came to get Renfield- not to secure the scene. They were likely all left there, and since all the cops were basically reassigned to deal with Rebecca and Renfield, I doubt any family members were called either. It was 1 or 2 days between the murders and Dracula dying it seems.
I couldn't stop laughing during this movie and got teary-eyed during the more emotional parts like the codependent abusive relationship between Dracula and Renfield.
There were also a bunch of nods to the novel and the Bela Legosi version. Superimposed scenes foe the flashback, Redfield eating bugs, the Lobo family being the wolves who Dracula had control over and were his "children of the night" (tho I kept thinking they were gonna introduce the family being dormant werewolves or something with all the wolf imagery).
Loved this movie!! Haven't had so much fun with a movie in a long time before this one :)
I like Jeremy Jahns' review of this movie, saying that it's like they had two scripts, a vampire movie, and a mobster movie, that were 45 minutes worth each, and wanting to make a whole movie, they just mashed them together. 1 + 1 = Renfield. Your review seemed to validate that. Great video. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Idk how I’ve never seen that Juni Ito Art in your background but I love him he’s so talented
Aquafina is inspiring. Showing that anybody can be in big movies. Regardless if they can act or not.
Nick cage has yellow fever perhaps that is why she is in the movie
@@hoze1235 SIDE. EYE.
yes because bad actors have never existed before her.
@@hoze1235 Enough yellow fever to like Aquafina? That is a terminal illness.
I think they just wanted an unattractive girl to avoid the whole romance thing
in the original dracula text, renfield in almost every moment we see him is imprisoned and obsessed with dracula and eating bugs especially flys his power is a reference to that yk
Nicholas Cage love German expressionism. He's exactly where he should be. ❤
I would say this movie was directed pretty badly, but Mr. Cage still put everything he had into it. He's a legend.
This was his best purposeful comedic role in years.
Everything Cage does is purposeful you elongated hydra!
Nooooo
One night I was feeling upset and decided to see a horror movie in the theatre. My choices were Beau is Afraid, Evil Dead Rise, or Renfield (although...it isn't actually horror). Renfield was absolutely the best choice I could have made
Evil Dead Rise is fire tho
I really liked evil dead rise
@@firstlast9846 movie was so boring to me.
@@Supl3xcity yeah I don't understand the hype at all
Evil Dead Rise is a fun ass movie. You should see it.
Deadass Elvis your so wholesome. This Movie about the Narcissistic abuse hits different if You've been abused by a narcissist. Like I felt for Renfield on a whole ass personal level man. And those scenes where he's freeing himself and realizing he can go no contact with Dracula were amazing honestly.
Y'know, I don't know if Renfield is like a character that exists in alot of Dracula media. But after watching the Leslie Nielsen Vampire movie "Dracula: Dead and Loving it" It sure feels like they took some story from that one.
i will say as someone who has recently read dracula, renfeild eating bugs canonically makes sense for his character, as that is an actual plot point within the book. it does sound ridiculous if you dont have the context for sure, but having it makes it cool i think.
I got little buzzed drinking a margarita thing at Walmart. Watching this was a trip. I’ll definitely have to watch this movie eventually. Nic Cage is a national treasure.
I see what you did there
What a perfect way to start the day with good ol’ nick and Elvis. Glad your back man!
Nicholas cage does amazing with any role he gets, one of the best actors
The beginning of the movie when it goes to the flashbacks, they actually recreated scenes from the original Dracula’s movie from 1930s. So technically this is a sequel to the original Dracula lol. Fucking awesome
We need a sequel that focuses more on Dracula's history.
I wanna see Dracula and Renfield at the height of Dracula's reign.
That was made in 1931
@@child_devourer6946 Unfortunately not with Nic Cage. 8(
I’M SO GLAD YOU COVERED THIS FILM I’m so in love with it. I wanted to see it a third time in cinemas but an employee recognised me when I watched it a second time
Getting recognised in the theater is cool. Roll with it and just say Hi when you go in for that 3rd time 😊
(I've been there, used to work in a movie theater and also go to the movies like 1-2 times a week 😅)
You can feel how Nic just does it for fun at this point
It finally comes full circle. Nic is a vampire.
Finally someone who recognizes genius lol renfield was honestly so campy and fun it reminded me of the original evil dead
Never expected it to be a 10/10
But hell, it is a damn good time! I can put this in the Cult Movie list to watch with friends.
I've been waiting for this!!!
Nicholas Holt played Cages son already before! it is so nice to see them reunited (:
I saw this movie the other day - absolutely adored it! Not a huge Nic Cage fan but he was perfectly cast in this ❤️
The cast is perfect! I love it!
They did the whole Dracula's servant eating bugs thing in this movie "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" staring Leslie Nielsen.
The black and white scenes they used was actually from a really old vampire movie they just swapped the faces of the actors around.
I still can''t shake off the feeling this movie should've come out 10 years ago. The writing, jokes in particular, the plot, even editing, like it BELONGS to 2010-2014 era.
And Nic Cage is the best, he delivers every time!
I love the part where Nic Cage looks straight at the camera and said "Let's eat!" and started eating everyone.
Greatest moment of all time.
THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
I can tell Nic Cage is having a hell of a fun time playing Dracula
See it like an 90's comedy movie. Lightfooted and perfect for an chilling evening. Such movies are rare today.
YES!!!! I was really hoping you would talk about this movie when I mentioned it in the old blood discord haha
Fucking FINALLY another video! WE missed you man!
This movie was amazing I loved the use of practical and cgi use in this
Every time I see a new upload I legitimately get giddy and a huge smile on my face!!!! Thank you Elvis!
This was his best movie by far this was genuinely so funny and over the top pure happiness.
Not even close to his best film. I'd put this almost at the bottom of his credits. Barely ahead of season of the witch. I love nic cage, but all you people are on some crazy drugs to think so highly of this dumpster fire of a movie.
Yesssss new Elvis the Ayylien, AND Nic Cage? Hell yeah
Was waiting for this review to happen nic cage did a fantastic job in this
Love that you brought up his acting in Mandy, such an awesome movie
I just love how obvious it was how Cage enjoyed this role
This was such a hoot to watch slightly buzzed in the theater lmao. Excited that Elvis is covering it!
Nic Cage is just magic, he can turn even the shittiest movie into something at least watchable🤷🏻♀️
oh, I was waiting so long for you to make this video
Randomly decided to watch this movie with friends without knowing much about it and was pleasantly surprised with how much fun it was.
okay, i'll admit this:
i got WAYYYY too overly attached to renfield BUT YOU CAN'T BLAME ME FOR IT
he's just an antisocial guy in a toxic relationship. i kinda saw myself in him. i......i just wanted to hug him. and him trying to stand up to dracula in his apartment just hurt me physically cuz people like him won't listen. but he got him. HE FUCKIN GOT HIM BY THE END AND I WAS HERE FOR IT!
idk i just felt like a proud mom during it UwU
I watched this movie expecting to be disappointed, but was pleasantly surprised and actually found myself genuinely laughing many times. It's got a good plot, characters feel MUCH better than a lot of other "filler" characters in other movies. 10/10, will recommend.
I think Renfield is suppose to be a ghoul but I guess they forgotten that they exist.
Like ghouls can be made by feeding a human vampire blood.
omg amazing thank you so much for the recommendation
I unironically loved this movie. Ben fucking made me laugh in every scene he's in
The mitch joke is proof that Elvis really needs to be in charge of a movie
I’ve been waiting for this I knew you’d cover it 😂❤
Just a question.
If they got out of the warehouse to avoid the hitman, what would change?
Wouldn't he still have to be on the lookout for a hitman, wherever he may go?
I think the bigger issue is they weren't prepared for said hitmans arrival.
