reaches for a portion of Dracula’s lore nobody has really thought of or asked to be adapted. A feature length film highlighting the journey of the OG bad boy vampire from his home in Bulgaria to London.
If the concept seems thin, it’s because it is. Based on the captain’s log section from Bram Stoker’s novel, nearly the entire film takes place on The Demeter – the ship that transported Dracula. Not that anyone needs to read the novel to understand the voyage. This portion of the novel goes exactly how you’d expect it would with a vampire trapped on a ship for weeks on end.
The film, of course, takes liberties to make it a mostly cohesive story. The film follows Clemens , who boards the Demeter as a doctor to the small crew. He joins the rest of the crew, helmed by captain Elliot , his first mate Wojchek , the captain’s 8 year old grandson Toby and a ragtag crew of sweaty, vulgar seamen. Their aim is to get to London before their intended arrival date to get a sizable bonus.
Within days, the crew begins noticing strange happenings. Like how all the livestock end up mysteriously fatally ravaged, to strange sightings throughout their nightly watches. And when a Bulgarian stowaway Anna is found, their journey is further complicated.works as horror in the sense that, early on, you know most of the crew is doomed – it’s just a matter of watching them get picked off. This is also where the film somewhat drags.
