“Renfield” is about R. N.
Renfield, once the slave of Count Dracula, is now an insane vampire
stalking a modern day city (Bayou City). He is known as the “Bayou
City Slasher”. A serial killer, Renfield is pursued by Detective
Paul Cranston, a driven detective who always gets his man. Renfield is
also sought by Mina Harker (now a vampire) and her vampire son, Quincy
Harker. This film is a thrilling game of cat and mouse in which
Renfield reveals his ancient history with the vampire Lord Dracula and
fights not only the mortals of Bayou City but the forces of Darkness
as well. This property has been
in development since 2005. The teaser went into pre-production in late
August 2008 and was shut down in September when Hurricane Ike hit the
Houston area. Production resumed in mid-October and shot locations covered
Houston, Friendswood and Galveston. Casting includes Philip Nichols as “Renfield”, Vance Johnson as “Dr. Seward”, Lee Bentley as “Professor Van
Helsing”, Anthony Campise as “Detective Cranston”, Derek M. Holden as “Quincy
Harker”, Randel Smith as “Willard Caine”, Shery Rozas as “Mina Harker”
and Dana
Beck
as “Dr. Johnson”. Mr. Nichols wrote the screenplay
for this trailer and his company “Facades FX MakeUp Lab” provided the
special make-up and creature effects. This is the first
effort in filmmaking for “Poison Apple Films LLC” however; this film
company is currently in development and pre-production on eight horror
franchises. Mr. Nichols and his sister, Mel, were kind enough to send over some productions pictures of "Renfield". Enjoy!
If you missed it, a
sneak peak of the rough cut trailer was screened at the SWAMP Thing Halloween
Party,
October 27th at Dean’s where Mr. Nichols was the Ghoul of Honor.
This is another “Made in Texas” film and filmmakers.
