Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.

Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.

The movie has been directed by André Øvredal (Mortal, Trollhunter, Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark), and written by Bragi F. Schut, Stefan Ruzowitzky and Zak Olkewicz, based on ‘The Captain’s Log’ from Bram Stoker’s Dracula

It stars Corey Hawkins (In the Heights) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew, Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones) as an unwitting stowaway, Liam Cunningham (Clash of the Titans) as the ship’s captain and David Dastmalchian (Dune) as the Demeter’s first mate.

The film also features Jon Jon Briones (Ratched), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things) and Javier Botet (IT).

The Last Voyage of the Demeter will be released in cinemas on 11 August 2023.
