‘Renfield’ might be the most relatable film of the year.

If you’ve ever had a bad boss then you know what it’s like to have a sudden urge to stab someone in the heart with a wooden stake. Maybe that’s a bit harsh. MAYBE. Dreading going to work because your manager is an asshole is a terrible feeling but a feeling many people can relate to.

Bad bosses know no limits and this rings especially true for the premise of Renfield. Dracula (Nicolas Cage) sucks as a boss and his trusted servant, Renfield (Nicholas Hoult) is finally tired of his shit.

Renfield is all of us.

‘65’ is a terrible name for a movie.

Holy shit, who thought naming this movie, 65 was a good idea? Is this really the best, the powers that be could come up with? How incredibly uninspiring and flat out boring. Barf. I’m not an expert on the art of naming movies but I feel like a film title should evoke some kind of emotion, not make me feel dead inside.

We gotta do better Hollywood.

I also want to be crystal clear, I’m not pooh-poohing 65, in fact I think it looks dope. It has a lot of things going for it. This was created by the same dudes who wrote the screenplay for A Quiet Place. It stars Adam Driver as a spaceman. It’s got dinosaurs. It’s got laser guns.

Hell, Spaceman Vs. Dinosaurs is a better name than 65.
