The Last Voyage of Demeter (a different Dracula adaptation)

[Ninjablade]

Saw this tonight. It was okay, I guess. A little too long, the narrative choices were a little weird (particularly the ending), and I didn't think it ever really fully utilized the horror of Dracula well. Just felt too generic, though there were some neat moments here and there.

Certainly a nice trip to movies for a Friday night with a crowd.

Really enjoyed this but would’ve been cool to see it go all out. In some ways it felt a bit safe. Regardless, nice to see a movie like this in this day and age.

I really dug it. I love how it's so paying homage to the classics, like Nosferatu to Univeral Monsters to especially Hammer Horror.

Story structure wise, it's basically Alien 79 with Dracula.

Saw it over the weekend and I enjoyed it. As someone previously mentioned this movie is essentially Alien.

The cinematography and set design was beautifully executed. Pretty cool concept to adapt a single chapter in the Dracula novel into a movie

Shame it’s not doing well in the box office. Should have released it in September or October for the Halloween season

Saw this afternoon. Not bad. I liked the various Dracula make ups. Wasn't a huge fan of how they filmed the darkness and kind of wish Dracula had spoken clearly a few more times.

Also, I am a bad person.

I laughed when the kid jumped up and lit the captain on fire

Damn it really is a shame that this didn't do better at the BO because this is one hell of a well-made, big budget, vampire flick which is something I've been wanting out of this genre for a while now.

It definitely felt a little too long especially towards the end, but I loved the atmosphere, the production design and the look of Dracula although I wish there was more focus on the practical make-up/effects.

Javier Botet has such a unique, physical appearance and I wish we actually got to see more of him underneath the creature prosthetics, but I guess it was too difficult to put onscreen for some reason.

Loved seeing Corey Hawkins in this too.

Also, the kid from Cobweb definitely has a bright future ahead of him.

There must be something wrong with my sense of good movies. I didn’t care for Last Voyage but I like what I’m seeing with the new Exorcist film. I thought Dracula looked generic and the detail given to the ship was the most interesting part of the movie.

Bear McCreary did some great music.

It was an enjoyable enough film but nothing really innovative. I thought the BBC Dracula adaption did the tension on the Demeter just as well.
