In 1897, in a harbor in Bulgaria, the ship Demeter receives boxes of soil to transport to London with a promise of a bonus for each crewmember if they deliver on time. Captain Eliot (Liam Cunningham) expects to retire after their journey and recommend his first mate Wojchek (David Dastmalchian) to his position to live with and raise his grandson Toby (Woody Norman). The crew composed by the cook Joseph (Jon Jon Briones); the black doctor Clemens (Corey Hawkins); and the sailors Olgaren (Stefan Kapicic); Abrams (Chris Walley); Larsen (Martin Furulund); and Petrofsky (Nikolai Nikolaeff) plan what they will do with their bonus. Out of the blue, the dog and the livestock are found dead and the crew investigate the cargo hold. They find a young woman, Anna (Aisling Franciosi), almost dead and Clemens saves her life with successive blood transfusion. Soon they learn that there is something evil on board.
"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" is a great horror movie based on Captain Eliot´s log about what happened with her ship "Demeter" in her last voyage. The plot is tense and very well written, developed in an adequate pace. Maybe this is the only part of Bram Stocker's novel that the cinema had not shown yet. Dracula's image recalls F. W. Murnau´s "Nosferatu" (1922), with excellent make-up and special effects. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Drácula, A Última Viagem do Deméter" ("The Last Voyage of the Demeter")
