Bram StokerImmortal creation will appear again this summer The last journey of Demeterfrom Amblin Entertainment.
This time, the entire film is a reimagining of the seventh chapter of the novel (titled “Captains Log”), in which Dracula travels to London on the Russian cargo ship Demeter. The short chapter, consisting entirely of notes written by the captain, tells the story of a terrible apparition that haunts the ship and kills the crew. Is this enough action for the whole movie?

So what is Demeter’s final journey?
In Chapter 7 of Stoker’s novel, the captain’s diary recounts the ship’s voyage from the Carpathia, where they take a strange personal cargo: 24 strange, heavy wooden boxes to be shipped to London. At first, the trip seems normal, but things quickly turn sinister. Everyone is worried but can’t figure out why they keep facing one unfortunate event after another. First, a strange man was found on the ship, then the crew members began to disappear. A storm hits the ship and the first mate goes mad, throwing themselves overboard. Eventually the captain realizes that some evil beast is following his crew, taking them out one by one. In a spine-tingling final gasp, he held the rose in his hand and slammed himself against the pillar, determined to resist the beast and the storm to the end. He puts the log in a bottle in the hope that someone who finds it might decipher the terrible truth behind what happened to him and his ship. When the nearly wrecked ship pulls into the next port, there is no one on board but a clearly insane man.
Expanding slightly on the events of the chapter, the film follows various characters, including the doctor, captain, and first mate of the ship, and the porter who clearly chooses the wrong ship to enter. No one thought to check the wooden basket in which Dracula rested during the day, and by sunset, it was too late: Dracula was hungry. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Øvredal described the film as “Aliens– On board in 1897.” Pretty much sums it up, don’t you think?
