Can we all agree that the scene when dracula is holding clemens from the neck and clemens says “i am not afraid of you” and dracula responds with “you will be” was probably one of the best scenes in the movie especially since you barely hear dracula talk at all so whenever he does its super creepy and gives you goosebumps, regardless this movie was honestly really good and i hope people dont sleep on it.

Part of me thinks the reason many disliked the film was either thry weren't familiar with the book as questions like, why not get rid of the boxes once they discovered he was in them, forgetting that never happened in the source material. Or possibly because it's not a faithful Dracula story it could have upset purist fans of the character. Myself I enjoyed as a solid monster movie for sure, but did see a flaw in that this Dracula is a monster vs say the book Dracula is not only an evil monster but a very cunning tactician bringing so many boxes to scatter over London so he could freely hunt prey without fear if discovery or getting caught in sunlight. This Dracula didn't seem capable of that type of thought to me that is.

This movie frustrated me so much, they found his box after searching to see where he sleeps and didn't throw it off the boat immediately upon finding it, and they didn't explain what could be in the other boxes 38 boxes aside from dirt. Like am I missing something?

@donovanbradford8231

I do agree there was a plot hole there. As far as not throwing everything overboard that doesn't occur in the box which is still the source material. But I would assume by that point in the story there may not have been enough time to get everything off the boat before nightfall or not enough people. Or there still might have been the thought in their heads if we get rid of the cargo there goes our bonus not realizing your bonus is paid by the cery monster they hunt. Given the ending of the film they did seem to be setting this up for future films with the lead tracking Dracula down in England, but unless physical media and stream sales explode there is no chance that happens.

This year has had a few of those types of decisions this film and The Pope's Exorcist are two films that would have been great for the month of October but with the latest Exorcist and Saw films coming out around that time as well it's possible the studios said rather compete for horror fans let's pick a different time of the year.

I actually loved this movie, but knowing I've not read the novel probably makes it easier for me to enjoy it. At its best: it shows just how much of a powerful demon Dracula really. His few lines work, especially "you will be" in response to Clemens defiantly saying he refused to fear the vampire (if I recall it right). It also dips well into how a crew could work. At its worst: I now know for certain it deviates a bit too hard and the pacing could have used work. I would give it high marks in the end. It's good.

Shoutout to the romanian who saw the warning sign and gtfo out there, I know it's against the lore as Dracula I recall had gypsy servants but given their attitude in this one, where they (the gypsies) wanted to be gone before sundown I picture they somehow instead of trying to kill Dracula, just caught him during his daylight rest, and put him on any ship going to a nation across the ocean to be rid of him.

I very much agree with your point and enjoyed the film myself. However I don't see a sequel in the future because what I heard the film's international distributor was bought out by someone and the film only had a U.S. release as several people I know in England stilll have not seen it and really want to. So with only domestic sales I don't see the film making enough money to get a sequel. The only chance would be if streaming and physical media sales go through the roof and the studio does turn a profit. Which is disappointing because I would have enjoyed to see to where a sequel would have gone either in an original direction or in a Sherlock Holmes meets Dracula where characters of the book are replaced or changed to be Holmes and Watson.

Phenomenal gothic period horror with top notch production values. So why did the idiots at Universal Studios open it now against Barbie & Oppenheimer…instead of October where it belongs.

I've been a dracula fan for years and i LOVED how they did this movie. They easily could have gone with a suave good looking dracula and didnt. My husband and I got a good laugh that he "bought a juice box" for the voyage. The parts where those who had been bitten burned were a wonderful edition. I'm likely going to buy this when it comes out.

Don’t know why this movie got bad reviews. I went last night and the theater was completely empty, I was the only one watching the movie and absolutely loved it!!!

This Dracula movie is pretty cool

I haven’t seen the movie in theaters yet as I had a really busy summer, but I would see it on rental. This is where the movie finally portrays vampires as horrific monsters instead of bad boy archetypes, like Twilight.

I haven't seen it yet, but I think I will soon enough. I love Dracula and the idea of him being a monster rather than a tragic character just seems spot on. Thanks for covering this and giving it your thoughts.

The captains log from the book is so creepy and disturbing. I wish they had stuck to it abit more, with the captain to be tied the wheel of the ship with his crew dead. Though I understand the log in the book isn't long so I'm willing to forgive the changes haha

I need this story to continue it was a great horror movie and one of the best I’ve seen in a while

I saw this movie now for myself and was pleasantly surprised. It's a very fun monster horror flick. It could have relied a little bit less on jumpscares, but it's at least very well shot, composed and atmospheric. A really fresh take on Dracula that took the Captains Log from the novel and made its own isolated story out of it. For me it's a solid 7/10 movie. Not the once in a lifetime Dracula movie (like Nosferatu, Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee or the Coppola version) but easily in the upper tier of Dracula adaptations.

It is not like they are travelling from New York to London. Varna to London means there are so many ports where they could escape. They could also simply set fire to the ship at sunrise and sail away with the rescue boat to safety. He can't escape in the sun so he either drowns or burns. The end.

But yeah I get it, then the story ends. Still quite well made film. I would be curious to see how Clemmens meets Van Helsing while chasing Dracula in London. If they ever made a sequel he could join the posse from the original storyline. It was a nice touch that he didn't believe in the supernatural at first, being a man of science.

Dracula seemed to look more like Count Orlok (from the movie Nosferatu) in The Last Voyage of The Demeter. This is something I particularly liked about the movie.

I've always loved Liam Cunningham since I saw him in a movie about the Irish War of Independence called 'The wind that shakes the Barley' directed by Ken Loach. A fantastic movie starring a young Cillian Murphy. I would highly recommend but viewer discretion is advised as the subject matter is pretty heavy

if this movie was released in the u.k,spain,italy,and a few other european countries and india this movie would have been the hit it deserved to be.why universal decided to release it when there was so much overseas distribution problems is behond me.if they had waited a few months until they sorted the distribution problems out the demeter could have been a huge hit.

I just saw it a few days ago. I enjoyed it. Solid movie but I did had a few issues with it.

loved this movie so much. i love how much darker it is.

I’m surprised of the bad reviews this movie got, it’s not perfect and has its flaws but I don’t care, I enjoyed watching it, it’s got good and well placed scares, and Dracula is one of the most TERRIFYING we’ve seen him. It’s honestly one of my favorite horror movies of the year next to Evil Dead Rise

You don't disappoint with your tone of story telling. :) I like this movie but if someone doesn't like vampire stories he or she won't start here sadly. I like the comparision of the slow burn of the Alien movie, I like the actors and actress. And I like the evolution of Dracula here. He had to regress himself to his primal form for the journey? The amount of charming womanizer vampires and Twilight stories we needed to show Dracula as a Force of nature.

Great movies all the actors were great. I never judge a movie by its review of who review it

I saw it. It was an average movie. The thralls and what happened after Dracula bites you was the most interesting part of the movie.

Fun watch , Liam was great as the captain

I liked this movie a lot. It has it's flaws, but is still very enjoyable. My biggest gripe though is the very end. If they cut out the voice over revenge plot, and just let the scene play out without talking, I think they would have one of the best and chilling endings ever.

This movie was great IMO. It was very dark and this version of Dracula was scary as hell. My only takeaway is that I wanted to see Dracula be a little more savage on terms of his feeding. I felt as if they held back when it came to that. As the monster that he is, it would've been cool to see him rip out his victims throats/see the pain, agonizing terror as he feeds on the crew members.

I just finished the movie and it was pretty mid for me, they had great ideas for what could have easily happened in the book, but there's some things that just pulled me out of the film. I won't ruin the end, but it was very inconsistent for dramatic effect at the last encounter with the count on the Demeter, but it was the introduction of two of the new characters (for checks most likely) that really pulled me out. Not that they didn't do fine acting, but story wise it turned a movie that could have been a vampire version of alien into your typical vow of revenge ending that if you've even vicariously read or even heard the original story, knows the character that makes it doesn't do anything in the end because of the original book. I understand that changes should be made to at least attempt to stir things up a bit, but it really could have been better than what they made, I even like the more simplistic depiction of dracula than something that they could have easily done, but being a history enthusiast they came very close to jumping the shark.

I would hurry if you want to experience it on the big screen. The genius suits at Universal opened it against Barbie & Oppenheimer. The cinematography and sound design/score are incredible.

I do like the monsterous look of Dracula in the film yeah his gas bought on take one page from the original novel never expected much what Dracula did during his sailing to England.

Probably didn’t do well at the box office because they failed to market this film properly. This is the first I had even heard of it…

So there is a tale there, the film lost its international distribution when another company bought the IN Distributor and that part fell by the wayside. And after a rough opening weekend I didn't see anymore trailers or ads for it. So no international and liw domestic returns the film quickly fell out of view.

I watch it twice and it's interesting. Hope it's great in a few weeks for a standalone

I just saw this movie last night, it was pretty entertaining

What i loved about this movie was how logical everyone behaved. No cheap bad decisions to push the horror. Problem with the crew's logic was that they didnt know shit about a vanpire. Great example was when they placed snipers in the crow's nest without knowing Dracula could fly. Also, the slow realization the crew had that they NEVER had a chance at all and were only alive because Dracula was rationing his food supply was great. Even when the guy survived at the end, he learns Dracula left him alive just to torment him longer.

I agree so much with Clemens around 7:30-7:59. Everything he wants can't purchased. For what he wants is to understand the world. I would find immortality simply because its gives me a means to learn about everything.

I heard that there is no discussion for a sequel which is too bad cuz I think this movie deserves a sequel

The sag aftra strikes most likely made sure this movie didn’t get enough publicity. The reason why it got 6.5 mill with their 45 mil budget. Don’t think it was bad for it to have that outcome. It was very enjoyable and it’s just all the Hollywood drama tanking the film

Again making my day Niyat 👌

I would love to see a version of The Hunting of Dracula with Clemens. I think it would be very interesting deviation.

Despite the weird echos in beginning.. from whats been said here this sounds pretty interesting, even a bit new an original, in ways rarely or mever seen. Never seen or heard of a horror movie like this while those in it are ALSO trapped with whatever is plaguing them somewhere with nowhere to go quite like THIS yet

You have never heard of a "trapped with a monster and everybody dies" movie before? Alien, Predator, The Thing, The Descent, Evil Dead etc etc. It's the cheapest and easiest way to create fear and doesn't really work today anymore on its own which is why the movie bombed.

Absolutely, he was still weak because he wasn't feeding. So for them to sink the Demeter I personally don't think he would've made it because in theory he would've had to fly during the day plus without blood he wouldn't have made it to London.

Not just that, even if he survived the ship and made it to dry land and avoided the sun, his boxes of his native soil would be gone so he would have nowhere to rest during the day.

Less than a week ago a whole lot of platforms started recommending Dracula related stuff. The control this "algorithms" have is what truly horrifies me.

Change and alternate interpretations are a good thing, the stories been told over and over again, not eveything needs to be word for word from a book we read.

I liked it I really hope they make another!!!

It would make sense. The Nosferatu in Salem's lot was implied to be Count Orlok(Dracula) for the 1922 German film "Nosferatu". In an interview with the German director who acquired the rights to Nosferatu, who remake in in 1979, he said "Orlok" was actually based on both Vlad "Dracula" Tepes, and the other Wallachian warlord that tried to usurp him, his cousin from the Draculesti bloodline - VLADISLAV II, who was an even more cruel, perverted tyrant than Dracula himself.

While this movie looks great, what would've also worked would be making Dracula look more human. Like imagine they found someone who looked like Bela Lugosi and went with the original Universal design. It honestly would've been creepier, plus it would connect with the original movie.

For me, the fact that he wasn't human was what I loved most. His human guise is always an affectation or tool he uses to make it easier to find and later feed upon his prey. Aboard that ship with no intention to leave witnesses, Dracula doesn't HAVE to be human. It's a story when Dracula is at his most liberated, where he can be true to his nature: a monster.

Naah that's been done to death (pun intended) this movie hearkens back to a time where monsters existed, and since the beast does take the form of a man, what is so wrong with seeing him as he really is?

Hope I'll enjoy it on the big screen Is much as dramatic untold. I always love a new take on Dracula.

Just got done watching this a few hours ago and it was pretty good

Just saw it last night and it was awesome. Sadly it flop at the box office :(

For me the perfect depiction is ep 1 & 2 of Netflix limited series “Dracula” They do this whole storyline as the 2nd episode.

My fav director.... especially the autopsy of Jane doe...

I liked the change from the captain but I wish they made it more ominous with all them dying and the journal being what ppl find

The black guy survives and becomes a hunter of dracula? Boy, didn't see that coming..

Yep. Box checked. In the book they were Romanians and a Russian. Guess that wasn’t ethnic or diverse enough.

This was a good movie, but not as great as I thought it would be. Mainly cause like in the trailer they showed Dracula to much and to soon. I feel it should have been a build up with us only getting glimpses of him, and near the end we get a full on look of him. And some of the choices made by the characters had me scratching my head. But overall I do recommend see this movie.

I wish the Dark Universe Vlad the Impaler did better. Vlad the Impaler is such an interesting character in history and though they are not directly connected i always loved combining the two, doing more stuff when when he was Vlad is always great

Excellent movie. 👍🏿👍🏿

I never even heard of this movie when it was in theaters

I've never read the original Dracula, but after seeing this movie I should definitely look into it. Personally, I loved the film. Did it have problems? Of course it did: It didn't need to be two hours long, some of the more depressing moments dragged on, Dracula didn't have a whole lot of personality, and that tacked on, sequel-bait ending was really unneeded. Still, I had a great time with the film. They did a fantastic job re-capturing the atmosphere and feelings of isolation, dread and horror from Alien, to the point where I had trouble sleeping the night after I watched the film. The characters were likable despite not having a whole lot to them, Bear McCreary's score, while not his best, is still great to listen to, and then there's Dracula himself. Despite his lacking personality, I loved this Jeepers Creepers-esque take on the character. Compared to the many, *many* incarnations of Dracula in the past (let's see: a tragic sexyman figure, a straight up over-the-top monster, an entity with nearly enough power and presence to rival a Lovecraftian Old One, Bela Lugosi and his immitaters, etc, to everything in-between), this honestly felt like a fresh take on him. On that note, while I dislike the sequel-bait ending, there were elements about it that I liked, like the idea of Clemens becoming a Van Helsing-type character, and Dracula's 'human' disguise being a nod to Count Orlok from Nosferatu (which also, again, gave me severe Jeepers Creepers vibes. As in they could pass for creepy old humans from afar, but up close, that's when you know something is very wrong and you wanna run for it). Overall, is it my favorite horror-monster film of the year? Probably not, Evil Dead: Rise is more enjoyable for me, but I think its a great and well-made film that I hope will become a cult classic in the future.

I do like your breakdowns of media. Cheers

Yes you are.

My opinion is they actually thought this was going to be popular enough to afford a sequel or “cinematic universe” to build on hence they went off of the source material and tried to set up the one guy to be the nemesis of Dracula. It failed and now instead of making a decent tie in movie to a beloved classic novel we get an ok vampire horror movie that ends with a lame sequel bait to a series that will never be. Sucks because I was originally really excited for this until I heard about the last half of the movie just breaking away from source material so badly

Myself I do agree there were several changes done for a couple of reasons. Some were done to really build out the story of the voyage for a feature length film. Others were done more so because of the mindset of Hollywood today particularly the addition of Clemson and Anna and those two characters while played well were done to check very specific boxes of film today. I would have been interested to see how a sequel would have played because I do think Clemson would have taken the part of one of the other characters from Stoker's novel, as I've read Sherlock Holmes meets Dracula and in that parts are change to insert Holmes primarily for the part of Van Helsing and Watson for several parts if Johnathan. So curious what this film would have done for a sequel.
