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

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. English subtitles. First press copies come with a nice slipcase with some slight embossing.

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.

It's a pretty good film, just a shame we never got a UK release. This version has the blu ray and DVD. The blu ray IS region free and works in the UK, hI haven't played the DVD yet, so I'm not sure, but I believe it's locked to region 1.

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.

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

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

(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

This is a very interesting take on a small section of the original story. All we know from the book and films is that the Dracula ship arrived with a dead crew and boxes of earth. This shows that tragic voyage in grim detail and with great suspense and art. It is well made, well acted and very griping. I was rather surprised at how well it “fleshed out” a minor part of the story. (Pardon the pun) I recommend this film as a stand-alone and for Dracula buffs. It is spooky and raw but great fun and very well done. I do not recommend the newest Nosferatu film version of the story. Stick to the 1922 original or the 1979 remake also a classic. BTW His name was Vlad III. Dracula was a modern form of his title of knighthood from his father Vald II. He was given the Order of the Dragon (Dracul) for defending the land against the Moslem Turks. HIs son took the Title of Draculea meaning Son of the Dragon but it can also mean Son of the Devil as the word has a double meaning. His tomb was empty, not because he was flying around and biting people but because he was killed in battle about 1476. His head was sent to the Sultan as a prize but the rest was left to rot. A tomb had been prepared in a small island church but never really used cept for some animal bones found, probably to profane the tomb by his enemies, of which there were many. Also, the first film is Nosferatu not Dracula as Murnau the director could not get the rights from the author’s wife who demanded a steep price and accused Mernau of copyright violation. He had changed the names and locations but kept the basic story. The court ordered the film destroyed but gratefully this was not done. A few years later she allowedly the creation a true Dracula play based on the book and film done by Bela Lugosi. The 1979 Nosferatu remake used the original Dracula character names. Do yourself a favor if you have not seen it.

Es un estupendo producto, contiene: 1 disco DVD Audio original en ingles 5.1 DTS Doblaje al español Subtitulos en español Región 1 Widescreen Extras Escenas borradas con inicio alternativo Comentarios del director es muy recomendable para la colección, el envío como siempre excelente, gracias.

Peliculón!!!

There's a region B version available in Australia that forces you to watch trailers that you can't skip and has no extras. I thought the days of these second-rate local releases had gone but clearly not. For hardly more this USA version has a barrel load of extras, commentaries and above all, joy of joys, must be region free. It played in my region B locked player without any issues.

me gustó el tratamiento que le da a la figura de Drácula, alejado de la humanización que se le da en otras películas. De hecho la descripción de otro ser, que en parte se disimula bajo un apariencia semi humana, parece más acorde con la bestia que se alimenta de seres humanos. También es elogiable la estética del barco, de los personajes y de la película en general.
