Movie reviews: 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' is an old-fashioned fright fest
“The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” a new horror film now playing in theatres, is based on the chapter "The Captain's Log" from Bram Stoker's novel “Dracula.” Told through news clippings and notes from the captain’s log of the Demeter, the chapter details the horrifying voyage that brought Count Dracula to England.
“The thing wears the skin of a man,” says stowaway Anna . “In the night it drinks our blood, and he is on the ship. Which means we will never leave it.” Gadot is Rachel Stone, a computer tech/operative for a super-secret peacekeeping group called The Charter. Directed by Tom “Peaky Blinders” Harper, “Heart of Stone” is a big, slick story of international intrigue that works best when it is in motion. When Godot is flying through the air on a skidoo or going one-on-one with the baddies, it zips along like a 90s era 007 movie. That means loads of high-tech nonsense, flamboyant characters, a dastardly villain, international intrigue, a propulsive soundtrack and, of course, outlandish action.
Based on Smith’s “repressed memories,” the book details lurid and often absurd claims of child abuse she says she suffered at the hands of a cabal of satanists led by her mother Virginia Proby. As the book gained popularity, with excerpts in People and the National Enquirer, Pazder and Smith became media celebrities, spreading the now debunked message that satanists lurked everywhere, and no one was safe from their devilish grasp.
