A darkly comedic, gore-soaked parody that balances slapstick violence and satirical humor with genuine warmth around a reluctant hero's redemption through unexpected romance.

Having grown sick and tired of his centuries as Dracula's lackey, Renfield finds a new lease on life — and maybe even redemption — when he falls for feisty, perennially angry traffic cop Rebecca Quincy.
