As seen in the final trailer for the film, “Renfield,” as the title suggests, follows the story of Dracula’s servant as he reckons with the mental anguish stemming from a 90-year relationship with an undead monster. In addition to the hilarity and absurdity of that situation is a healthy dose of incredibly gory action. 

The film stars Nicholas Hoult as the title character. He’s joined by Awkwafina, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Ben Schwartz, Adrian Martinez, Brandon Scott Jones, and Nicolas Cage as Dracula. It’s the latter actor who seems to be drumming up the most excitement, as folks are dying to see what Cage comes up with for his take on the classic monster. “Renfield” is directed by Chris McKay, who previously helmed films such as “The Tomorrow War” and “The LEGO Batman Movie.”

“Renfield” arrives in theaters on April 14. You can watch the trailer below.

Here’s the synopsis:

In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Emmy nominee Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage).  Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness.  If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
