The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the terrifying 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. (Universal Pictures US)

Mozifilm a DreamWorks/Universal-tól, minőségét tekintve a Netflix hülyeségeinek átlagon aluli szintjén. Ígéretes kezdés szép díszletekkel, kidolgozott és a sötétben tökéletesen megvilágított hajó belső tereivel. Drakula első látványos megjelenése és az első áldozatok atmoszférikus meggyilkolása. A második felében azonban a film cselekményileg kezd szétesni, a fokozódó feszültséget rosszul összevágott drámai jelenetek váltják fel, a szép CGI-t a napkelte olcsó fénye követi, a karakterek pedig a kétségbeejtően romló forgatókönyvnek köszönhetően elveszítik az eredetileg felépített értelmes kontúrjaikat. A magabiztos Van Helsing-szerű epilógus pedig már csak nevetséges marad.

André Øvredal and his gothic boat vampire horror based on Stoker's novel. I have to say that I like Øvredal, he is an active horror filmmaker and chooses interesting and unconventional horror genre films, though not always as good as The Autopsy of Jane Doe (he probably won't top that one), but he never outright pisses me off and doesn't try for any arthouse or ambitious works. In short, rewarding horror entertainment, of which there is never enough. A lot was expected from The Last Voyage of the Demeter, and early overseas reviews suggested it probably wouldn't be the horror film of the year, which I can confirm, but it's still very attractive and likeable, and as a true horror fan, I feel the need to express my gratitude that we didn't get another bland ghost movie, another bland slasher or another family friendly twillight vampire flick, but a shipboard vampire gothic horror, I welcome that. I’m pleased with the above-par craftsmanship, the likeable characters, the good music, the decent looking Dracula (again it could have been some ugly CGI shit, but there's a Javier Botet creature feature again!). The atmosphere works: the ship, fog, storm, sailors and a dangerous Cargo is simply rewarding. It's nice to that it’s not PG-13, and it's pretty gritty in places, I found it relatively satisfying. I appreciated that the film isn't afraid to break down conventional horror boundaries, like the breaking the rule that women and children are safe, which I applaud. Sure, the scares don't work, but who cares. It's a fun clash between Dracula and the sailors on a ship. Take it or leave it. 7/10.
