The Plot…

The year is 1897.  Captain Elliott is making his final voyage.  Ready to retire and raise his young grandson, Elliott sails to England leading a small crew.  Little does anyone know that one of the large wooden crates they are transporting contains Dracula.  No, they have no idea… but soon they will know!

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

André Øvredal described The Last Voyage of the Demeter as “basically Alien on a ship in 1897.”  He’s not wrong.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) rates 3 of 5 stars.
