Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo--fifty unmarked wooden crates--from Carpathia to London. Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.

Critics Consensus

The Last Voyage of the Demeter finds a fresh angle on Dracula's oft-told tale, although lackluster execution often undercuts the story's claustrophobic tension.

Audience Says

A solidly scary Dracula movie, The Last Voyage of the Demeter will reward patient viewers with some intense scenes and plenty of eerie atmosphere.

The concessive events that are narrated... do not successfully spark interest sufficient to maintain afloat this two-hour film that is also not very entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

Did we really need this Dracula footnote to set sail at all? Perhaps not, but while Øvredal’s expansion on the world isn’t as fun as the grim fables from which it draws blood, it still has some bite.

Breakfast All Day

[The filmmakers] don't make the most of the claustrophobia of the ship, and at the same time, they don't give you the vast expanse of the seas, either.

…despite some effort, The Last Voyage of the Demeter isn’t quite as good as you’d hope, but it’s a classy, well-upholstered horror film that has a bit of manic Horror Express energy by the climax…

Rated: 3/5

Øvredal’s latest film doesn’t quite match the excellence of his former work, but remains a solid adaptation of an often overlooked segment in Stoker’s classic.

Rated: 3/5

Unfortunately, despite a highly capable cast, this adaptation just doesn’t have much wind in its sails.

Great acting, visuals, and score. But not enough, Dracula! This film is probably more enjoyable at home to stream.

This was mildly scary with some good jump scares but you could tell when they were about to happen. Im looking forward to seeing if they make sequel movie. This was worth the watch

Meh. I was in the mood for a thriller, suspense film. This wasn’t it. It was predictable moment to moment. Each of the characters was like someone was checking off boxes for each stereotypical personality type to play off of and against one another.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
