I really wanted to love this, but it just wasn't really what I was hoping for. I adore Nicholas Hoult, and I was excited for this movie from the moment I first heard about it. I managed to avoid the trailers to keep from having anything spoiled, but it has way more action than I had expected, and way less actually funny comedy; with most of it not really hitting the mark for me. The scenes with Renfield and Dracula together are mostly good, and I loved Renfield pulling out the "How to Defend Yourself Against a Narcissist" book, but I disliked pretty much every scene with Awkafina, and the overall tone of the comedy just didn't click for me. It was entertaining enough to burn 90 minutes, but I would struggle to actually recommend it to anyone.
