But no, cant have a slow burn movie anymore. The characters in the story are only as smart as the writer or have plot armor. Its just bad.… Expand

The last nail in Dracula's coffin, let him rest until Hollywood knows how to make good horror movies again.

IF only this movie borrowed ideas from the first Alien movie, building up suspense, letting you care about the crew. You can have a slow burn movie if you do it correctly it could've been something great.

There's another upcoming movieIF only this movie borrowed ideas from the first Alien movie, building up suspense, letting you care about the crew. You can have a slow burn movie if you do it correctly it could've been something great.

There's another upcoming movie directed and written by Robert Eggers called Nosferatu, if there's any hope left for Hollywood to resurrect Dracula that movie could have the potential to do so. (Robert Eggers directed The Witch, Lighthouse, The Northman and they're all received well by audiences, one of the main reasons why I mention it here)… Expand

Boring Dracula film. Creature is cool, though. The good news is that Robert Eggers is bringing his version of 'Nosferatu' next year. .

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a scary movie, its more a action.
So we got a black doctor because we need representation.
We got a female stowaway how is the fighter to save the day.
Every one else is there to just to die.

Dull and not very good, the cast is woke and wacky and the script is plain dumb. Also, it's just not very scary, could've been Alien on a 1800s tall ship but what we got was a boring vampire slog with all the progressive agenda boxes ticked - 2 stars

This thriller (not really) is based on the Captain's log from the titular ship, which carried Dracula to London in Stoker's book.

Writer/director André ØvredalThis thriller (not really) is based on the Captain's log from the titular ship, which carried Dracula to London in Stoker's book. Since we know what's gonna happen, it's up to the filmmakers to add suspense. Writer/director André Øvredal scored well with his last sci-fi film Mortal (my review) and this one also has a grand cinematic feel. No matter how stately things progress, there is not one single moment when there's a scare. This film is big on dark atmosphere and malevolent portent, but it moves too slowly and never creates any tension.… Expand

It's too far removed from the original material for me to get behind it. The concept of the story is amazing but very poorly executed. The cast is terrible and does not reflect the Dracula story. One reviewer on MC said it best. I watch horror to escape politics and the endless parade of unearned progressivism "the movie stumbles in its potentially interesting but frustratingly halfhearted efforts to frame Clemens’ experiences with bigotry as his ultimate motivation to kill Dracula. You know what else is a good motivation to kill Dracula? He’s Dracula."

This movie had so much potential it hurts to see it unfold the way it did. Predictable jump scares. Nothing frightening. Hollow characters and a crew that literally does nothing to help themselves until multiple deaths on the ship occur. Give this one a pass… Expand

Good atmosphere and setting. The tension within the story is also not disappointing. However, the film could be at least half an hour shorter due to many unnecessary scenes. Entertaining nonetheless!

However, it's the gripping atmosphere and the formidable antagonist at the heart of the horror what allows The Last Voyage of the Demeter of being a better movie.

This isn't about humanizing a bloodthirsty monster. No. It's a story of a fantasy-level apex predator on the hunt, going after its prey like a lion among sheep, locked up and placed at their mercy in the confinement of a ship in the middle of the ocean.
In the words of Watchmen's Rorschach: "I'm not locked in here with you. You're locked in here with me.'

The combination exudes a style that swings between melodrama and crudity reminiscent of classic films about beings such as Dracula.
The terror is amplified by a great villain whose behavior evokes shades of the Xenomorph from Alien, and considering that the victims are locked in a ship like those in Ridley Scott's film were on the Nostromo, this vampire who looks like a cross between Man-Bat and Nosferatu maintains the film's most riveting elements, fostering palpable suspense and tension throughout.

The script has its flaws, and I saw it coming from afar. The balance it seeks often falters, and much of what it does in several passages is more reactionary than coherent.
Also, unfortunately, it doesn't give enough room for development to the lead characters, and the resolution it offers isn't satisfying either.
I don't mean to say that everything should be tied up neatly, but let's just say that some of those points feel a little flimsy.

As for the overall experience, I can say that The Last Voyage of the Demeter is the kind of film that can easily be recommended to casual moviegoers, devoted Dracula enthusiasts, avid monster aficionados, and dedicated horror fans alike.

While it may not possess any extraordinary or stunning quality, it still managed to keep me engaged and free from any sense of disappointment. Therefore, from my point of view, it duly earned its credit with me.… Expand

Well filmed and acted adaptation somehow created from one chapter of the book. The normal cheesy scary movie feel isn’t present here making it more enjoyable than most.

Movie of the Week for 12 bucks can't really go wrong so it was value for money but there were few things which kind of bugged me considering I did indeed read Bram Stocker's Dracula. For me number one issue is they sort of started the storyMovie of the Week for 12 bucks can't really go wrong so it was value for money but there were few things which kind of bugged me considering I did indeed read Bram Stocker's Dracula. For me number one issue is they sort of started the story in the middle (Which Dracula's journey from Romania to England is) and they don't really do a good job to explain the origin basically just assumes everyone read the book and they know who Count Dracula is ? Why he is travelling to London ? What was he doing until he came to a brilliant idea to migrate to England. 2nd problem their Count Dracula looks more like a Leper then a Vampire honestly they couldn't even get the teeth right. 3rd problem The whole plot is based around the question you already knew before you even start watching the movie ,everyone knows Count Dracula does indeed reach London where he finds Mina etc... so why base the plot around this in the first place ?
Thing I did like was Aisling Franciosi , I can't believe she plays a kid while she is actually 30 , they nailed this part also her Romanian accent is amazing considering she was Irish . The ending sucked it suggests a sequel Black man vs Dracula in London which I admit is a take on the story we didn't have before but I think they should have kept Aisling Franciosi alive.… Expand

Demeter é um navio que aparece no conto do Drácula de Brom Stoker, daí a Disney teve a brilhante ideia de fazer uma história recontando a última viagem que ocorrera na tal embarcação, que no livro acaba sendo encontrada encalhada já em solosDemeter é um navio que aparece no conto do Drácula de Brom Stoker, daí a Disney teve a brilhante ideia de fazer uma história recontando a última viagem que ocorrera na tal embarcação, que no livro acaba sendo encontrada encalhada já em solos ingleses, dado que o drácula a usara.
O saldo final é um filme que se ancora no suspense mas que, infelizmente, não sabe aproveitar o potencial do Drácula. Com um cenário até certo ponto claustrofóbico, salvo raras exceções (a cena de perseguição ao garoto, por exemplo), o roteiro faz a opção acertada de cadenciar a aparição do vilão, o que nos deixa com nó na espinha, contudo, erra ao abordá-lo de forma muito mais metafísica e fantasiosa, veja que os poderes dele estão mito acima da capacidade humana, é como se todo o clima de terror se transformasse em pura fantasia. Ora, se ele é tão poderoso, ágil e esperto assim, por que não matou todos quando teve a oportunidade? Enfim, o roteiro precisava de filme para desenvolver, não é mesmo?
Ainda assim, algumas decisões me deixaram bem contentes, como o final trágico de certos personagens. E mesmo que o sangue esteja contido, higienizado, ele está lá, mostrando que é um filme que busca equilibrar-se entre o entretenimento e o horror.
Infelizmente, a fotografia escura e os cortes rápidos que só mostram a supervalorização do poder do drácula, a meu ver, tornaram a experiência menos imersiva quanto deveria. Com um cenário enclausurante, a direção não consegue fazer emergir todo o potencial do navio, que afinal era para ser o verdadeiro protagonista aqui.
Outra coisa que me incomodou um pouco, mas talvez já seja birra minha, foi o discurso religioso transversal ao filme. No entanto, entendo que essa narrativa pode aproximar o grande público, e também não está tão estridente assim a ponto de incomodar.
É um filme de puro entretenimento, não verossímel, que vai acertando na construção da atmosfera e derrapa quando mostra a ação pura. Ainda assim, uma ótima forma de passar o tempo.… Expand
