Brand new at Number 5 and our highest new entry of the week is Vampiric comedy-horror Renfield. Starring Nicholas Hoult as the titular character and loyal servant to the narcissistic Dracula (Nicholas Cage), and based in the modern day, after centuries of servitude Renfield decides to see if there’s a life outside of his codependent relationship with his boss – and all the demands and bloodshed that comes with it.
