Of Universal Monster movies with filmmaker-driven standalone films, including a few takes on Dracula with Abigail and a divisive Nicolas Cage movie. Related Where To Watch Abigail: Showtimes & Streaming Status Another horror movie from Radio Silence is here, and there are different options for where to watch Abigail in theaters or at home on streaming. Abigail Is The Hit Modern Vampire Movie That We Wanted Nicolas Cage's Renfield To Be Abigail achieves the critical acclaim that Renfield couldn't Before Abigail, Universal’s last hand at reviving the extended Dracula lore in horror-comedy fashion was with the 2023 movie Renfield, which starred Nicholas Hoult as the titular henchman and Nicolas Cage as the legendary vampire Dracula. Despite having so much potential with a big $65 million budget, horror movie icon Nicolas Cage as a campy and terrifying Dracula, and The Great star Nicholas Hoult as the lovable lead, Renfield ultimately bombed at the box office and saw mixed reviews from critics. Following its April 2023 release, Renfield only earned $26.5 million worldwide in theaters, and currently holds a “rotten” 58% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Renfield is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Renfield was still applauded for being a fun time in theaters with plenty of gory kills and campy performances by its lead actors, but, unfortunately, it was a disappointment critically and commercially. As such, Abigail’s widespread critical acclaim and potential for long-term box office success is refreshing after Renfield’s unfortunate performance. Renfield was intended to have

Sign in to your Collider account Where to even begin when speaking about Nicolas Cage? He is a national treasure on and off the film screen. The memes and gifs are endless of crazed, excited, or angry Nic Cage faces for any occasion. He has given us amazing films across so many genres like Mandy, Con Air, Valley Girl, and Face/Off. However, there is one movie that is underrated and overlooked that became the blueprint for a Cage performance. And with Cage getting ready to play a vampire again in Renfield, let's take a look at 1988 Robert Bierman film, Vampire's Kiss. Vampire's Kiss is about a white-collar man in New York named Peter Loew who finds himself in a unique situation after a one-night stand. Peter wakes up the next day certain that he is a vampire and nothing can convince him otherwise. Despite others not agreeing with him and there being no physical changes, Peter definitively decides that he is a vampire and even begins wearing plastic fangs and stalking women to live up to his view of himself. Cage's performance of a man descending into psychotic madness is some of his best work and the truest form of Cage that you can find. Back when this film was in production, Nicolas Cage was still finding his footing in the industry. He almost didn't take the role due to there being a director swap in the very beginning as was said on the Vampire's Kiss DVD Commentary. Eventually, the newly appointed director, Bierman, was able to get him back, and the rest is movie history. Nicolas Cage is known as a method actor who really gets intense and passionate with any role he takes. He has said "I don't act, I feel" in an interview with Variety and fans can definitely see that. Cockroaches And Bats During the filming of Vampire's Kiss, Cage took some very questionable and eccentric tactics to sell the downward spiral that Peter was experiencing. In one scene, Cage's character was initially supposed to suck on a raw egg in a moment of psychosis. Being who he is, Nic wanted to turn that up a notch to really sell what madness Peter Loew was slipping into. Instead, Cage requested that he eat a live cockroach, which is the thing he hates the most in the world. According to a detailed history on the film

With an 82% rating on the review aggregator site. Though there are far more critical misfires than hits over the past decade, Abigail’s success in 2024 sets up a great revitalization of vampire movies. Related What Goes Wrong With So Many Dracula Movies With both Renfield and The Last Voyage of the Demeter both bombing at the box office, where does Hollywood keep going wrong with Dracula? With an 82% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Abigail breathes new life back into the vampire subgenre after numerous critically-panned or mixed-reviewed entries. Abigail's Success Puts More Pressure On Robert Eggers' Nosferatu Movie This Year Universal has another vampire movie being released in 2024 Following Abigail, the next major vampire movie being released is Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu remake, which is scheduled to be released in theaters on December 25, 2024. The upcoming horror movie remakes the 1922 German film of the same name, which is loosely based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula novel. Considering Nosferatu boasts several acclaimed horror actors in its cast with the likes of Bill Skarsgård, Nicholas Hoult, and Willem Dafoe, as well as auteur horror director Robert Eggers behind the camera and screenplay, the upcoming vampire movie is expected to achieve even more critical success than Abigail. Related Nicholas Hoult's Upcoming Remake Of 102-Year-Old Horror Movie Will Repair His $65 Million Flop With Nicolas Cage The upcoming remake of a 102-year-old horror movie could help Nicholas Hoult repair the losses he incurred from a $65 million flop with Nicolas

Nicolas Cage's bombastic acting style lends itself very well to horror. As it goes with the rest of the prolific, cult actor's career, Cage's track record with horror movies remains mixed. In recent years, Cage has fortunately found a niche for himself in experimental, avant-garde features rife with moody aesthetics and Lovecraftian plots. Cage is set to get scary again soon with the forthcoming horror-comedy Willy's Wonderland, which features a supporting cast of puppets. Entire segments of YouTube are dedicated to compiling every one of Cage's on-screen freak-outs. Why not bypass the gag reels and go straight to the source? The Wicker Man (2006) - 3.7 1973's The Wicker Man is a cult folk horror film lauded for its unsettling look into Pagan rituals and cults. 2006's remake takes everything good about its predecessor, throws it out the window, and instead features a scene (in an alternate take) where Nicolas Cage freaks out while being tortured by bees. In the remake, Cage plays a policeman in search of a missing girl who lives on a remote island in Washington state occupied by neo-Pagans. It's all a trap, of course, and Cage's character soon realizes he's set to be sacrificed in order to secure better honey production from the island's bees in the future. Pay the Ghost (2015) - 5.2 Pay the Ghost is, unfortunately, a complete rip-off of the far-superior Insidious. In this silly supernatural thriller, Cage searches for his abducted son and finds him in an unlikely place: an alternate world occupied by a widow ghost who steals children every Halloween. Anyone who has seen Insidious can figure out how Pay the Ghost evolves from there. Critics across the board consider Pay the Ghost sluggish, unimaginative, and lacking even a thread of kitsch that would make far better use of Cage's presence in the movie. Mom And Dad (2017) - 5.5 Manic and melodramatic, Mom and Dad is the ultimate horror movie testament to how parenthood turns even the most even-keel person into a murderous wacko. Cage co-stars alongside Selma Blair as suburbanites who are overcome with a particular type of hysteria: they feel the overwhelming impulse to kill their offspring. This affliction isn't unique to Cage and Blair's characters. It's affecting every parent around town, ensuring all the kids in town are guaranteed to have a bad day. Vampire's Kiss (1989) - 6.0 In Vampire's Kiss, Cage's character Peter Loew gives Patrick Bateman from American Psycho a run for his money. Loew, a yuppie literary agent with delusions of grandeur loses it after a few visits from a seductive female vampire who drinks his blood. Jennifer Beals plays the vampire, Rachel, who may or may not be a figment of Peter's imagination. Either way, Peter believes he's been stricken with vampirism and goes on the kind of demented, operatic rampage around New York City that could only be pulled off on the big screen by someone like Cage. Color Out Of Space (2019) - 6.2 Cage plays Nathan

A film out there getting squashed. “D&D” and “Mario” were competing for family audiences and although “Dungeons and Dragons” had incredible critical reception on its side, “Mario” was just too big of a juggernaut. The action fantasy comedy film fell 61% in its second weekend, a steep drop for a film that just earned an “A-” CinemaScore. With an $150 million production budget, the film is all but guaranteed to finish in the red. The blame is all on Paramount for this one, they should’ve released it at a less competitive point in the calendar. I think “Dungeons and Dragons” would’ve done quite well if it was released mid-to-late January. But as always, hindsight is 20/20. In fourth and fifth place are “Air” and “Scream VI” which earned $14.5 million and $3.3 million respectively. “Air” grossed over $20 million since its opening day on Wednesday, exceeding my opening weekend expectation of $17 million. With a reported $70-80 million budget, this film likely will not profit. But what was originally supposed to be a direct to streaming release, Amazon and Artists Equity will probably take anything they get from the box office. “Scream VI” cleared $100 million domestically this week, becoming the first “Scream” franchise film to do so since “Scream 2” in 1997. Next week brings the release of the comedy horror film helmed by Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult — “Renfield.” The film surrounds the titular servant of the famed vampire Dracula as well as Dracula himself, played by Hoult and Cage respectively. I expect it to open to $27 million this weekend. Will “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” power up to $300 million next weekend or will “Renfield” take a bite out of its gross? As always, we shall see.

We had Nick, every single actor who’s in this project revealed to us that they were massive Nicolas Cage fans and just wanted to be in it. Pedro Pascal came to lunch and said, ‘I don’t care if you guys put me in this film, I just want to talk to you about Nick.'”Pascal confirmed to THR that stepping in to play a Nicolas Cage superfan was perhaps a little more on the nose than Cage playing Cage. “Interestingly, I would say that I’m playing a version of myself that might be even closer to me than Nicolas Cage is to Nicolas Cage in this movie,” Pascal said, going on to describe Cage as a “spontaneous and original” scene partner who was “fun to work with and challenging.” From left: Lily Sheen, Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal Taylor Hill/FilmMagic For Lily Sheen, who plays Cage’s daughter Addy, she couldn’t personally relate to the experience of having a burned-out, famous dad but called the experience of playing in a “worst case … bizarro world version” of entertainment “cathartic.” Having Cage there to help guide her through her first major movie role made it even better.“The person that I worked with was an incredible dad and an incredible mentor and was a fantastic person to have on set to calm me down and teach me how to do things,” she said. “I don’t think the Nick Cage in that movie probably would have done the same.”Cage admitted on the carpet that playing an exaggerated, tabloid-ish version of himself was somewhat of a test of his acting technique, with it taking a few days once he was on set to really settle into the part.“I have a certain criteria that I meet on every movie for building a character. I design the character — the moves, the expressions, the vocalizations, some of what I’m going to say, from the ridiculous and hopefully to the sublime,” Cage said. “But whatever I design, no matter how broad it may get, it has to have genuine emotion. The emotional content has to infuse the performance as well as the imagination.”“So I noticed within day one or two after I got the first jitters of playing a character who actually has my name — and I’m still recovering from that — I realized the same criteria can be applied to this,” he concluded.Working on set with an actor that has both such a clear vision for his roles and shares the same name (and résumé) as his character resulted in a few on-set conversations about how to separate the characters from the actual man. “Nick would always come over to me and say, ‘Hey Tom, there’s a guy who wears rings and leather jackets, and he lives in Las Vegas. And he would never say that.’ And I’m going, ‘Oh, you mean you?'” Gormican says, laughing. ” And he’s going, ‘Well, yeah.’ And I’m like, ‘Well, it’s not you. It’s a character based on you.’ He goes,
