Director André Øvredal is back to revive gargantuan terror on the big screen for his latest turn at classic vampire lore and for this, we turn to The Last Voyage Of The Demeter ahead of its August 11 release. Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, and David Dastmalchian star from a screenplay by Bragi F. Schut, Stefan Ruzowitzky and Zak Olkewicz, which takes its cues from “The Captain’s Log” from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, 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.
Also starring are Jon Jon Briones and 20th Century Studios’ latest Deadpool 3 re-add Stefan Kapicic, along with Nikolai Nikolaeff and Javier Botet. Peep the trailer below, and mind the Smashing Pumpkins add-on as well!
