Weekend Films: Renfield, The Pope's Exorcist and The Wedding Cottage

It's Saturday and that means new movies. What movies are you watching this weekend? I haven't posted a Weekend Films in a while because there hasn't been a lot new movies released that have interested me. Well, I'm glad to say there are three new movies that I'm interested in seeing: Renfield, The Pope's Exorcist and The Wedding Cottage.

The first movie, Renfield is a horror comedy that centers on the titular character who seems very much tired of working for Dracula. Who can blame him and despite the power perks of working for Dracula, it doesn't seem like a good job at all. The second, The Pope's Exorcist is a horror movie. Although nothing will ever beat The Exorcist which was released in 1973, this does seem like an interesting movie with the Pope uncovering a secret that's linked to a possession. The last movie is The Wedding Cottage is a romantic comedy that centers on a wedding planner that's trying to get the perfect location for her clients but has the deal with the owner who has no desire to re-open it. This seems like a cute movie and I think this is the first time that Erin Krakow and Brendan Penny starred in a movie together.

So, what movies are you watching today?
