A Dracula Slasher on a boat. Whats not to love?
29 November 2023
"The Last Voyage of The Demeter" is an unapologetically brutal Dracula slasher, and I loved every second of it. Growing up, my family and I have been huge fans of Hammer Horror Christopher Lee Dracula films, and the "Demeter" definitely reminds us of those films, though with an extra dose of blood, gore, and viciousness. "Demeter" removes the romantic aspect of Dracula as well as his humanity, which has been a focus in many Dracula adaptations, but it gives us a Dracula at his most unhinged and merciless. He spares no one here, and the kills are extremely brutal, vicious, and quite jaw-dropping. "Demeter" is also extremely stylish and has a great atmosphere about it. It is nicely paced and gives time for its characters to develop as well, but it's never slow despite what some people may call it. "Demeter" was definitely a ride worth taking - a solid old-fashioned horror movie with Dracula doing his thing against hapless individuals.
