Directed by André Øvredal (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark; The Autopsy of Jane Doe) and written by Bragi F. Schut, Stefan Ruzowitzky and
Zak Olkewicz, The Last Voyage of the Demeter adapts
the 'Captain's Log' chapter from Bram Stoker's classic novel
'Dracula'. The Demeter of course is the vessel that transported the
vampire from Carpathia to London. The film imagines the events that befell
those travelling on the ship.
Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, David Dastmalchian,
Jon Jon Briones, Stefan Kapicic, Nikolai Nikolaeff and Javier Botet also star.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is in US cinemas from August
11th. The original UK/ROI release date of August 18th has now been
removed, so who knows when we'll get to see it on this side of the pond.
Meantime you can watch a new featurette below.
The official synopsis reads:
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.
