The Last Voyage of the Demeter (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital)

Great film, giving an insight as to how Dracula/Nosferatu supposedly arrived in Britain.

PLOT...Based on a single chapter, the Captain's Log, from Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel "Dracula", the story is set aboard the Russian ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo, unmarked wooden crates from Carpathia to London. The film details the strange events that befell the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a terrifying presence on board the ship. When it finally arrived near Whitby Harbour, it was derelict. There was no trace of the crew.Its been a while since we've seen a decent vampire movie, especially when it comes to Dracula! The last voyage of the Demeter (2023) is a great horror movie that's original and has new ideas for a fun story for the character Dracula. The isolated setting on a ship is a good scary set up, much like an Alien movie but at sea instead of space! Everyone trapped and being picked off one by one, the movie has a decent cast and Dracula himself is a scary looking devil like monster. All the effects in the movie are a good decent looking budget, a mix of good CG and practical blood and gore! well worth checking out, one of the best horror movies of 2023 and certainly one of the coolest Dracula stories in a long while.Blu-ray (US import) has a decent HD picture quality. (Not available in the UK)Features include commentary, deleted scenes and other featurettes (40mins)2-Disc. DVD is Region 1 US only and Blu-ray is Region FREE and plays on UK players.Running time 1hr 59mins. Rated R for strong violence. 2023.English language movie.

Great horror movie with some very good special effects, But storyline could have been better though.

Not often a good vampire movie comes out enjoyed this movie looks good on Blu-Ray would recommend if you like horror movies

Excellent movie the best vampire movie i have seen

The media could not be loaded. Based on a chapter from the gothic novel 'Dracula'. The ultimately doomed ship The Demeter. Dracula takes a different form in this film and is pretty deadly. If your a fan of Dracula, you're going to love this film. Not really scary but it is atmospheric which is what I wanted. Beautifully filmed and appears to have had a sizable budget thrown at it but it didn't make it to the UK or other parts of the world which is a shame. I bought this from the United States via Amazon and even though it warns it's region 1, it actually played on my blu ray player here in the UK. Really happy and a good take on Dracula.

(also known as Dracula: Voyage of the Demeter in some international markets) is a 2023 American supernatural horror film directed by André Øvredal, and written by Bragi F. Schut Jr. and Zak Olkewicz. It is an adaptation of "The Captain's Log", a chapter from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. The film stars Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, and David Dastmalchian. Its plot follows the doomed crew of the merchant ship Demeter who attempt to survive the treacherous ocean voyage from Transylvania to London while being stalked by a legendary vampire known as Dracula (Javier Botet).Planning for the film adaptation of "The Captain's Log" began when Schut wrote the initial spec script when he befriended a colleague who worked on Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), but it did not come to fruition, languishing in development hell for more than two decades. After Amblin Partners obtained the rights in October 2019, it was announced that Øvredal would direct the film. The main cast members were confirmed in 2021. Principal photography began on June 30, 2021, in Berlin, continued in Malta, and ended on October 1. Some movie scenes were also recorded in the fortress city of Mdina. Thomas Newman was originally hired to compose the film's score but was replaced by Bear McCreary due to Newman's scheduling conflicts.Universal Pictures theatrically released The Last Voyage of the Demeter on August 11, 2023, in the United States. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $21.7 million worldwide against a budget of $45 million, making it a box-office bomb.Based on not even a page in Bram Stoker's Dracula this sea-bound jump scares and lacks character to support as we all know he makes it to London but it is not a bad watch it just won't stay with you long after you see it. As it was not released in the UK I had to pick up an imported version disc

In 1897 a cargo ship carrying mysterious boxes from Bulgaria to London and has something else on board that's killing the crew one by one. Never released in the UK due to legal rights issues this is an American import meaning you have to have a multi region bluray player to watch it, this based on just one chapter from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel is a tense and gripping horror movie with good performances from Corey Hawkins and Liam Cunningham.
