The Last Voyage Of The Demeter: Trailer Talk

While various adaptations of the 1897 book ‘Dracula’ have been made, it’s surprising that a story based around a specific chapter hasn’t been done until now, entitled ‘Captain’s Log’. It has the potential to be its own film, without needing the knowledge of the source material. And it appears Universal Pictures have seen the potential too because the trailer for ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ was released.

‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ follows the ill-fated crew of the cargo ship Demeter, as they travel to the UK and are stalked by a terrifying creature of the night. 

Previous adaptations have focused on the overall story of ‘Dracula’, so it’s refreshing to see a film adapt one chapter of the book and one that could be seen as a separate story. But it also looks tense and scary. While this year’s ‘Renfield’ was more comedic and dealt with an over-the-top version of the vampire, ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ looks to be taking Dracula, and the threat he carries, seriously. Plus, the design of the monstrous character looks incredible; here, he has been portrayed to be more of a monster than a man, something that will work beautifully considering the film takes place at sea with only the ship’s crew. 

‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ is a unique adaptation in the long line of ‘Dracula’ films but a very welcome one. It looks scary but interesting, and the design and portrayal of the vampire is fantastic. While this was an unexpected film to appear, I am looking forward to this one.
