The modern connotation of "Dracula" is bathed in mythos but ultimately the reference is correlated to Vlad The Impaler. With "Renfield", the texture is more integrated into the self help wokeness that would never even have entered the lexicon years ago.

Nicolas Cage's previous western ("Butcher's Crossing" -- which played at TIFF 22) was a different animal of sorts that was more existential. His new entry "The Old Way" is more classic but more dynamic with a much more edged performance as well as better pacing and accessibility.

Unlike "Prisoners Of The Ghostland" which was a mash up (or perhaps like it), his new film "Pig" is not initially what it seems to be. It can be said that this is one of Cage’s more subtle performances (although physically it is not).
