THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (Dracula Awakens) EXPLORED
5,910Hey guys whats happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be exploring 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter’.
If you’re not familiar with Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula', check out my video on the novel and Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 adaptation starring Gary Oldman, links in the description.
With that said, the novel is essentially considered the quintessential Dracula story, highlighting his voyage from Transylvania to London, his sensual seduction of maidens, his powers, his vicious attacks on the innocent, his attempt to expand his feeding grounds and the great hunt by Van Helsing.
Directed by André Øvredal (who helmed the 'Trollhunter' and 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe '), the 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter takes a few pages from Stoker’s magnum opus, tweaking and turning the events of that short chapter into a feature length film.
Given what happens in the novel, we can see where this is heading. The title itself, gives you a not-so-subtle hint. Starring Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, the ever-commanding Liam Cunningham, and that chameleon David Dastmalchian, this film doesn’t hold back on showcasing how merciless Dracula can be when he is hungry.
