The Last Voyage of the Demeter (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 led by Captain Elliot (Cunningham) 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 Jr. wrote the initial spec script when he befriended a colleague who worked on Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), but 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 of the 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.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter was theatrically released in the United States on August 11, 2023, by Universal Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics, and grossed $19.8 million worldwide against a budget of $45 million, making it a box-office flop.

The Design of Dracula in this movie reminded me of Man Bat from DC Comics
Oh yeah 100 percent, we even joke about that in the episode!
Looked like the bat guy of the Unmen from the Swamp Thing cartoon to me 😆 -Joe
@@MovieDumpster Skinman?
WOW! WHAT A GREAT EPISODE!
😮I can't believe the famous Tony is actually in the comments section
It was all right. I think it was lacking a fourth person but that could just be my professional opinion lol
Was gonna watch this before the review but heard the very famous Tony from Hack the Movies mention he reviewed it with you guys and honestly, Joe, Sean & Tony are the only folks I'll allow to spoil movies for me
I mean, he's not as hot as Crystal, but there's something about that beard...
I agree CGI is fine and inevitable, but lying about it is horrible. I'm currently thinking about watching Terra Formers (2016) by Takashi Miike which is using CGI unapologically to save money because Miike works fast and cheap but gets big results.
Netflix dracula show had a really great episode about the Demeter my favorites episode. Really got into the different characters on the ship and how dracula eats them one by one
I got your ending for this movie.
Dracula, looking dapper, is walking around London, he walks up some stairs, and into a barber shop. Sits in the chair, a man walks up behind him, you can only see shoulders down, then you hear Jihnny Depp say, "how about a shave" cut to black.
It was a long shot but I was hoping at the end Dracula in the tavern was Nic Cage. Not that this needs to be connected to Renfield. I just want to see him as Dracula again.
That would have been brilliant 😆
You joke about Dracula dead and Loving It but that was the first Dracula movie I ever saw lol. I was 3.... just some serious nostalgia
I felt bad for Tony treading water on the puns. You guys could’ve thrown him a lifeline.
It’s dumpster hackin’ time, baby!
Hilarious how Tony struggles to make a proper pun yet Joe keeps rolling them out one after another outdoing Gene Shalit.
Dracula smartily only start hunting season when they are too far from land, the closest port is England. And makes no sense that after seeing the strongest man in the ship hanging upside down bleeding out on him and later freaking out with whispers in his ears, the kid would be willing to open the door of the captain's quarters to "Hello?" around. Half of the crew was dead by now. Dracula would have find him and broke in anyway, but the writting here is silly. Plus everyone with guns, except when it's important.
The Romani lost the chance to kill Dracula AND stay with the money. The bastard was away from his land, locked in only one box and weakened. If only one man decided to burn the ship down, disperse and dispose the other boxes and barbecued him, we would only miss Anna, but she was turned anyway.
There’s a recent low budget movie with the same premis called blood vessel. Not sure if you guys have seen it but I suspect it has an even lower budget but it’s worth a watch to see how it compares
Blood Vessel went under my radar. I may have to check it out. I love comparing films.
Renfield is a lot of fun. I need to watch Last Voyage of Demeter still.
I feel like I liked this way more than everyone else. And I almost expected to hate it based on how many mid reactions it got. Spoiler: they frickin kill the kid!!! How many movies have the balls to do that?! This was just fun as hell. Really great production. Good colors / depth of frame. Really enjoyed Demeter.
I thought that they were going to imply that Clemens was Van Helsing.
Which is an awful idea.
Tony; trying to appease the most viewers while being the most cringe lol..❤ he also really walked the plank on the puns...
the thing is i didn’t see it because it’s like 2 pages of the book and you know how it ends
Great review. I definitely enjoyed it and would probably gove it a solid 3.5. Also im pretty sure Anna didn't shoot Dracula when she first got the gun, she shot the lock to try to get the kid. During the standoff is when Dracula first sees she has the gun.
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
Woah... tony from hack the movies???! He's famous, you know...
And buff
But how has nobody seen the second Netflix Dracula episode that covers this already!?
That series is terrible.
@@MovieDumpster it was awful! But because of it I feel like I'd seen Demeter already
We've been trying to forget.
i want all tv's to have an app that will make it look like you're watching your tv at 3 am on a uhf channel!
Joe's english accent made me feel like I was actually there in the movie.
🤣
I really enjoyed watching it in the theater. It was so close to being a great movie if they had just made a few tweaks. Did you notice the plot was basically Alien except with Dracula?
Yea, pretty much! 😆
I love Tony realizing he's not as funny as he thought. The joke ship sailed before Tony arrived.
....
Tony is awesome.
27:47 Dracula can't get Anna back to the box in the beginning because he is weakened. He finds her because they are connected, but she is locked in the carpenter's room. He gets out, sees the men, eats the dog and the livestock and goes outside of her room, and hearing her heartbeat, calls her name, probably back to the soil box, but she is just having nightmares. He is shown crawling back to his box slowly.
Dracula doesn't seem weak because he attacks the dog at fast speed, he breaks the lattice hatch by hand and despite crawling to attack this man he have tons of strenght when attacking him. By his size I suppose he also weights a lot, even when half starved. He seems to weights more than 100 kgs. And I think he is the first kill because he wants to throw "food" in the water. Anna maybe means "his property" too.
As soon as this guy go missing they search the ship, but not so much. Until the half-dead Anna awakes and starts screaming they don't even know that there are another one in the ship and her screams just seem hysterical, for no reason. They have no reason to believe she is not hallucinating or something. The doc didn't said he found her from one of the boxes. For them she just a sick beggar that sneaked into the boat.
I think the tall guy is the one too chill about seeing Dracula and not doing something about it. And then Anna shows the bite marks and tells all the story to the doctor and HE GOES TO SLEEP. Like, I get it, no one saw the attack on Petrofsky, they don't think a monster exists and is drinking blood, but the animals were all kill and now there are bite marks in the girl you took from a transportable grave. Fucking do something, tell the captain.
I love the idea take a slice of a book and using that as a base for a movie, it wouldn't work with all books/stories but even though I Don't like the Dracula book this is one of the best parts in the book 😀
There’s a comic adaptation of this from Weird War Tales that takes place on a nazi uboat, and the vampire is a Hitler clone
Wow guys luv it keep up the good work.....💯💯🎬😎🔥🔥🔥👊👊
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
Tony was hit with wave after wave of great water puns by Joe and Sean. I'm sure he felt like abandoning ship. :)
I wonder if the character Wojchek was a nod to Wojciech Kilar, the composer of the score to Frances Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula".
I'd love to see yall review/play Texas Chainsaw Massacre the game!!!! PLEEEEAAASSSEEEEE
The way I understand the movie. Dracula was more monster/beast early on. As he ate/drank more, he became stronger/evolved. Gains his wings, can make slaves, learn speech. My take.
Have you guy had and chances to see the invitation from 2022 it's a dracula movie it was pretty good
No, but we’ll check it out!
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is technically the metric title. I america it should be The Last Voyage of the Deyard. In France it is The Last Voyage of the De Royal with Cheese.😉
doesnt the girl at some point say he can "blend in" during the day? i thought this might be foreshadowing to him being one of the crew members , nothing came of it though
He wouldn’t have been able to blend in on the ship, in such close proximity, to a close knit crew.
What she meant is he can blend into a crowd, where he’s clothed to hide his body, and strangers are too busy to notice. I took it like the Judas bugs in Mimic.
As someone that actually really liked and enjoyed this movie I still agree with all of y'all criticisms and y'all jokes were hilarious 😂 🤘🔥🧛🩸🦇
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
James Rolfe from cinemassacre better review this movie on monster madness this Halloween
Man, whenever I see another Dracula movie I get reminded of Gothic novel studies. Having to read the full book, comment it. But we had a fun lecture on sexual innuendoes in the book (hysteria, fear of vagina and so on) fun times. I have just downloaded this and I am gonna see how this one goes.
It had such a great cast
This movie is awesome! I know that not everybody is gonna like the ending. But i loved that ending, i'm thinking the way they left dracula he can now embody jack the reaper and have clemens hunt him like van helsing.
If you want to see a great use of The Demeter story, I recommend watching the 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' (1980) episode 'Space Vampire' (season 1, episode 14) featuring a creature known as the Vorvon and the Demeter story is included as a captain's log with crewmembers dying and disappearing until only the captain is left and then killed. The Vorvon pursues Wilma and only Buck is convinced that the Vorvon exists.
That episode really creeped me out as a kid in the 1970's. It made a lasting impression on me. :)
I think I would have made this more of a slow burn with some misleads like you guys said with the doctor. Not everything needs to have crazy CGI over the op kills. Would have worked better with the budget too.
I definitely enjoyed it… would pair great with the 92’ Dracula 🧛🏻
They really drained this episode of all the puns.
haha
Yea, we’re all washed up now. -Joe
I really enjoyed the discussion between Tony, Joe, and Sean and I got a kick out of all of the amazing masks and movie memorabilia while I was checking out all of the great VHS titles on the shelves. :)
Thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed it! 🙏💚📼
Duncan is my favorite Dracula!
A Tony episode! Awesome!
They should make the sequal be dracula as jack the ripper...have him with his cain and top hat just chat up a street worker then turn toward camera lower his hat and gleam us a fang cover in fog...end scene. As the end of this movie.
An interesting idea, but unfortunately, they would follow up such a film with sequel called "Jack Dracula" or "Drac the Ripper" and it would have choppy-MTV style editing and a nu-metal soundtrack. All things told, we've dodged a bullet.
I felt that this film The Last Voyage of the Demeter was a fine and fun film worth a 3 out 5 rating.
Plus if I had a choice between this and the thing 2011. I would choose this instead of the thing 2011
40:06 gentlemen, could that rifle actually be a Martini Henry Rifle?That description sounds like a single shot lever action and she’s just holding a handful of bullets
It’s entirely possible, but she definitely loads three bullets in there at one point.
Love this movie 🥁🙌🥁
Watched it in theater opening day. Dare I say it was too dark and couldn't make out what was going on in some scenes. I wish the writers would watch both vampire hunter d movies for pointers on vampires. Also, the recent fright night movie had a genuis move of the head vampire making his home underground of his original home. Basically building his castle 🏰 under his house to make him look human to neighbors, creative thinking like that is awesome. What we are getting a vampire on a boat. Nothing new, hell it would've been awesome if the animals it fed off of became vampires too and they started attacking people, horse vampire next level.
Loved it. I'll own it. I just have to look past the bad CGI vamp face and a bad ending🦇
Except the CGI was good?? What was the problem there??
@@Lifesizemortal I was going in hoping for an actor in a suit and make-up alliances, I only got that a few times either w/quick, blurred or from a distance shots. Whenever I see good up close lingering shots on Dracula's face, it looks completely digital and it immediately takes me out of the moment. That's my biggest gryp.
@@robertbarron283 people are way too hard on CGI. Practicals look fake too, you know. It takes a lot of talent to make what's possible in movies these days because of CGI; it is more freeing than a hindrance. Have some perspective.
I do. I Also agree that we wouldn't have hundreds of amazing predominantly CGI films. I'm well aware that we need CGI because some things you just can't get around without it, and I'm fine with that. However, when I see a scene or a shot that could have pulled off w/practical appliances on the actor's face, I'll always prefer the FX work from any of the greats in the business. But no, I don't have a dislike towards CGI when it's absolutely needed.
Where is my cyboman merch… I want it now. Gimmie gimmie gimmie please
Workin’ on it!
Loved listening to you guys navigate through the story plot. It was such a fun review, the time just seemed to sail by.
Puns a side when Tony was staring at the camera waiting for the theme song, I lost it and had to pause the video till I stopped laughing and caught my breath
🤣 thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed the show! 🙏💚📼
prequel to dracula 3000
The crest is so it doesn't get lost in the mail...
No women, no suitcases, no bananas there are certain days you don't leave and also depending on how the sunrise or sun set looks...
Red skies in morning sailors take warning red sky at night salors delight...but while out commercial fishing personally I've seen both the same day and it was chill...
Sailor superstitions there are lots,
Had to come to your most recent video and talk about INTRUDER. Ijust watched on Tubi a few days ago after i binged MANIAC COP 1-3...
Made in '89 it actually has great cinematography and the kills bro.! OMG...i dont think ive ever seen something this crazy...
Intruder rules and so do the Maniac Cop movies! Did Tubi have the uncut version? You’d def know 😆
@@MovieDumpster idk, I saw teeth go through a bandsaw...soo lol
Love this movie
BTW have yall seen A.I. Dolph Lundgren in the old spice commercial yet? Is he getting paid for that? Or has it begun?
No idea but it looks awful 😆
@@MovieDumpsteragreed!
I loved this movie. Definitely in my top 5 Dracula films.
(2:45) I agree. The third Hobbit was not necessary and a waste of time.
Also, SPOILERS
I just assumed Clemons was Van Helsing in this universe.
That makes even less sense.
I actually really liked this movie. The only thing I was “meh” about was the last few minutes which felt tacked on.
Great video. Iove seeing you three together. I saw this in the cinema, and i didnt mind it. I give it 5/10. The ending where they attempt to take out Dracula was rather boring. Being a prequal there is no suspense as you know old Dracula aint dying.
A far better better movie would have been the doctor character and female along with the kid, be in London tracking down Dracula. I think for most people they will just see it once and that will be it.
Will you guys be seeing Equalizer 3 in cinema?
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼 Probably won’t see Equalizer 3 in the theater, but def wanna check it out!
The best review combo!!!!! You guys + tony= epicness beyond epic.
18:02 - 18:04 on repeat in my head, I don’t think my voice can do that lol
I’m a unique individual. -Joe
Great review! I know both movies ended up bombing, but the final scene of this movie should've shown him in his human form and it should've been Nic Cage.
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
i actually enjoyed this Movie quite a bit & it's just a Fun Popcorn Flick but RENFIELD is 10-Times Better,,,,Always Great to see TONY joining in on The Fun with JOE & SHAWN 😃🤘😃🤘
Thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼

Infection (2004)
Premonition (2004)
Reincarnation (2005)

Pull a chapter from world war z
You guys got a sub today. Always great to see that guy from mummy cop is still working. I was a little worried after his performance in Thugs vs dinosaurs.
Thanks for the support! 🙏💚📼
Let's not forget his incredible performance in dark knight rises
Hey guys! Great review and yeah the ending was fucking horrible. Question! How do you like Christopher Lee? You haven't mentioned him within your favourites and as he is the most popular in Europe and the rest of the world, I wanted to ask how you like him :)
Christopher Lee is great! And thanks for watching! 🙏💚📼
Huzzah!
the only russian guy is an australian
I thought this movie was fine bordering on bad. This should have been like Green Room on a boat with Dracula instead of the kinda slow movie it was
Loved this movie. Loved this review. The dumpster needs more females tho :P
best sequel movie title... bare with me.
CLEMENS
DEMETER II: The reckoning
Bram Storker's
Michael Bay
Yes the order is intended cause fuck it. Did like the review, perfectly said.
I'm seeing $$$$$$ alll the way
🤣🤣
Awesome review as always, this got me extra into the Halloween spirit with the set! Is it too early to be in the spooky spirit haha 🎃🎃
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙏💚📼 It’s never too early 🎃
Tony sucks but always down for a new MD ep
what....
He is vary famous.
crosses don't work on dracula because vlad is a crusader who impaled people of wrong faith in the name of hesus
dracula is christian saint
Good acting, weak script, unrealistic decisions, a Captain that doesn't captain, and a new guy doctor that suddenly runs the ship.
Nah, The Desolution of Smaug was way worse than the Battle of Five Armies. DoS was such a boring slog with some of the worst CGI I've seen in a big budget movie. At least interesting things happen in the BoFA.
... Is this sexist? No its just bad writing. 😆😆😆
100% 😆
while it was nice for Hollywood to do a movie about the Demeter ship that Dracula was on, it was a what was the point of the movie anyway? the Renfield comedy movie pretty much ruined everything about Dracula in my opinion
You aren't everyone also is there another recent non-comedy Renfield movie?
yes I know Im not "everyone". im just saying that the Renfeld movie ruined Dracula and the Demeter movie isnt helping at all to bring back Dracula as a scary bat creature monster
@@sdgc8667
If you want to watch a better Dracula movie watch Leslie Nielsen in dead and Loving It
Did you guys catch Talk to Me? Might be my favorite creepy film since Hereditary…or The Lodge (my horror sensibilities are questionable I know).
I missed out on Talk to Me in the theatre, unfortunately. Heard great things! -Joe
