Mark: What if you were to stop focusing on his needs, what would happen?
Renfield: He won't grow to full power.
Mark: Exactly. He won't grow to full power. What? That's so weird. Why would you phrase it like that? But, yes.

Cage shines, Awkwafina drags it down.

Cage was born for this role. He's not in the movie as much as I would've liked though. I was expecting him to go full Nic Cage mode here, but he takes a slightly different approach and it works pretty well.

The gore is amazing with some really spectacular dismemberments and blood effects. They're really fun to watch. Only issue I had with it is the CGI blood doesn't stain clothes, walls, and floors etc so it kinda gave an unfinished look.

Then there's Awkwafina. She can't act at all. Her line delivery is terrible. I have no idea why she keeps being cast in so many movies. She plays a cop but I didn't buy a second of it. If her role was switched with the woman that plays her sister the movie would been better.
