4. Renfield
In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Renfield is the undead Count's devoted servant, a madman who eats, flies and plots his escape from an asylum. But he gets a makeover in this horror comedy from Chris McKay, director of The Lego Batman Movie. Nicholas Hoult (The
Great, The Favourite) has the title role. He is still doing his master's bidding in present-day New Orleans, but, says McKay, Dracula is "the boss from Hell" in more ways than one, so Renfield prefers to spend time with a traffic cop played by Awkwafina.
Hoult showed that he could handle monster-related romantic comedy in Warm Bodies, in which he was a lovestruck zombie, but the really intriguing casting is Nicolas Cage as a red-suited Count Dracula. File under "The Role he was Born to Play". (NB)
