In the first trailer for Universal Pictures' horror-comedy Renfield[...] As you’d expect from a movie originated by Robert Kirkman of The Walking Dead zombie franchise, Renfield is also resplendent in gore. Dracula’s grotesque visage – decaying in reverse as he gathers strength – is a prosthetics triumph, and in one fight scene our hero rips an opponent’s arms from his torso then uses the severed limbs as clubs to batter his next victim.

This may be all good clean comedy-horror fun, but more unintentionally stomach-turning is Renfield’s carefree depiction of gun violence in a period when real-life US shooting deaths are soaring. Gun massacres are fine in this film, but snogging? Not so much. In fact, Renfield is so coy that romantic leads Awkwafina and Hoult barely even hold hands. “Don’t make it a sexual thing,” is Dracula’s prim instruction after requesting a busload of cheerleaders to feast on, and, as usual, Renfield meekly complies.
