'Last Voyage of the Demeter' Video Promises an 'Alien'-Style Horror Story
The Big Picture It's no secret that The Last Voyage of the Demeter takes inspiration from Ridley Scott's classic Alien. Inspired by the chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula which tells of the titular count's journey across the sea from Carpathia to England, the unique adaptation will see the vampire crawling throughout the ship and hiding in the misty darkness, waiting to feast on its crew when the time is right.
The video highlights all the ways The Last Voyage of the Demeter builds its terror. Øvredal wants it to be "the scariest depiction of Dracula ever told" by preying on not just the lingering fear that comes with the Count's name and the mythology surrounding him, but also the mystique of what happened on the Demeter.
For Øvredal, the Alien inspiration was a big reason why he came aboard. The change in setting from the Nostromo and all of its little passages for the Xenomorph to pop out of to the Demeter with its dark cabins and the ocean mist making vision worse at night made it an especially intriguing take for the director.
Who Else Sets Sail in The Last Voyage of the Demeter? Aside from Cunningham and Hawkins, The Last Voyage of the Demeter also features Aisling Franciosi and David Dastmalchian among its stars while Javier Botet, a man with no shortage of experience playing twisted horror movie creatures, embodies the monstrous Dracula.
Rounding out the cast are Jon Jon Briones, Stefan Kapicic, Nikolai Nikolaeff, Woody Norman, Martin Furulund, Nicolo Pasetti, and Chris Walley with the duo of Bragi F. Schut and Zak Olkewicz writing the screenplay. The Last Voyage of the Demeter sets sail on August 11. Check out the featurette below.
