While "Renfield" does weave in some references to therapy culture and toxic relationships, it largely uses these as satirical devices within a quirky horror-comedy. The film doesn’t strongly prioritize identity traits over plot or character development, mostly focusing on the comedic dynamic between Renfield and Dracula, though some modern themes are sprinkled in.

The film pokes fun at masculinity, with classic tropes like toxic bosses and codependency, but it’s more parody than pointed attack. Religion and tradition aren’t central here, vampire lore is just a campy playground. However, some viewers may see a subtle dig at classic male archetypes and the idea of traditional power hierarchies.

"Renfield" allows for a variety of perspectives, albeit exaggerated and comedic. There’s little outright preaching or villainization of dissenting viewpoints. Most of the commentary is light-hearted rather than agenda-driven, making the film less ideologically stifling than many current releases.
