The story of Dracula is truly that of the undead in Hollywood, as Bram Stoker's legendary vampire has been portrayed countless times from the early days of the silent era to the CGI heavy spectacles of the 21st century, with varying degrees of success. That's why the premise of The Last Voyage of the Demeter is an interesting one, as it looked to shed some light on a part of Dracula lore that even Stoker just hinted at — Dracula's journey to London aboard the Demeter.
In Stoker's original novel, the events of Dracula's crossing told in the chapter "The Captain's Log" was done after the fact and only in snippets through log and diary entries. As the opening text of this new movie reads, The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the story of what is to happen with this ill-fated crew.
