‘Renfield’ review: Nicolas Cage’s vampire movie belongs in a coffin

Question: Is Nicolas Cage playing Count Dracula a strong enough idea to carry a 90-minute film?Running time: 93 minutes. Rated R In theaters April 14.As the Count from “Sesame Street” would say, “‘Renfield’ gets TWO stars! Ah, ah, ah.”who gets kidnapped by a Spanish drug lord — is as funny and self-aware as the evil old vampire.But don’t come looking for a wacky sendup of the story in the vein of Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein.

At the beginning of the movie, at a church group therapy meeting in present day New Orleans, Renfield announces, “I am in a destructive relationship.” The last third of the movie, in which Renfield and Rebecca are on the run — sort of from Dracula, sort of from the cops and sort of from the Mafia — is a wash.

I guess the audience score will be at least 80%.
