Ridley Scott's iconic 1979 film, Alien, is easily one of the best ‘70s horror movies, and it has not only left an indelible mark on the sci-fi horror genre but has continuously influenced countless filmmakers through the decades. As Universal Pictures unveiled its latest incarnation of the legendary Dracula this past weekend with the release of The Last Voyage of the Demeter, there's an unexpected and thrilling connection between the world of deep space terror and the foreboding doomed sea vessel. While audiences may not immediately draw a parallel between the H.R. Giger-designed extraterrestrial and Bram Stoker's bloodthirsty vampire, director André Øvredal is keen to highlight the influence it had on his new take on the Transylvanian bloodsucker.
