REVIEW: Renfield (2023)
The best thing you can say about Renfield is, “At least it’s short.” The catch-22 is that it could have used more time to flesh out its characters, develop its plot, and attempt to make you care about anything that’s happening. But when you sit through ninety minutes of an ineptly directed �...
