April movie guide: Super Mario Bros., Renfield, Evil Dead Rise, and more
Other films to catch this month include Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Air, Owen Wilson in Paint, an Ana de Armas thriller, and two—yes, two—Judy Blume projects
Film Features Renfield
The best thing about April for many film lovers is that it means they’re one month closer to May, when the summer movie season kicks into gear with Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3, Fast X and The Little Mermaid. But don’t count April out! It’s a month filled with solid moviegoing options of the comedy, drama, and horror varieties.
We’ve got Chris Pratt starring in the fully CGI and rather psychedelic looking Super Mario Bros. Movie, Nicolas Cage at his Nic Cage-iest as Dracula in Renfield, Jake Gyllenhaal as a soldier in harm’s way in Afghanistan in Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant, and Joaquin Phoenix on a desperate search for his mother in Beau Is Afraid. If those aren’t enough reasons to get you to the multiplex, then read on for even more worthwhile films coming in April.

I first saw the trailer for Renfield yesterday and I’m all in on that one for sure.One True Loves looks like it could be interesting, but agree that there could be some frustrating on-purpose miscommunication in there that will be annoying. I do love Phillipa Soo.
There’s yet another Dracula movie from Universal coming out later this year with “Last Voyage of the Demeter”, but that doesn’t have names in its cast quite as big.If Robert Eggers ever makes his Nosferatu I hope he casts Willem Defoe as Renfield. Not only would he be the right age for a book-accurate version (unlike Nicholas Hoult or Dwight Frye), but he’d also be matching Klaus Kinski’s feat of playing both characters in separate movies.
Yeah, when I saw the trailer for Renfield awhile back I was so looking forward to the part where Cage comes out as the Count! My god, can’t wait for this!
Chevalier look interesting. It has a very modern slant but I’d watch it. The only thing I wish? It had been in French (I know I know, I like subtitles what can I say). Also, Renfield!
All horror for me this month, Renfield, Beau is Afraid and Evil Dead rises.
