Movies review
As those with a decent grasp of horror trivia will already know, the Demeter is the ship whose ultimately doomed journey to deliver some especially dangerous cargo from Transylvania to London is written about in the seventh chapter of Bram Stoker's classic Dracula . . Although this section, which runs to 16 pages in my copy, contains some of the most engaging imagery in that sometimes clumsily written book, the episode as a whole is not very important to the narrative. It simply describes how the title character got from point A to B, and on the rare occasions when filmmakers have chosen to bring this story to the screen, the journey is reduced to a brief montage or newspaper headline or ignored entirely. Now comes “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” a feature-length expansion of those 16 pages that thoroughly explores the bizarre events aboard one of the most doomed sea voyages in literary history.
There are two points where the film goes a bit wrong.Although Øvredal's slowness to scale to create suspense is more effective and more appropriate than the quick cuts others might take, a few scenes here go too far for their own good. Also, the movie—Spoiler Alert!—took part in one of the most disturbing episodes of modern horror cinema, a final scene that exists only to set up future movies if this one does well. at the box office.
Hearing the premise of this movie for the first time, I wasn't convinced it would work. This will be a movie where almost every member of the audience will not know exactly what the supernatural force at the center of the story is before the Universal logo hits the screen. But they will also—barring some unexpected deviations from the popular story—know exactly how the scenes on screen will play out. To me, it looks like an attempt by Universal to introduce a character who played an important role in the history of the studio to a modern audience following the unknowns of "Dracula: Untold" and the recent ones. the dreaded "Renfield." That may be the case, but the result is a big step up from those previous stumbles, an often mind-bending story that's been lost in wonder with a lot of style and some scary moments. that cannot be denied.
Set in 1897, the film opens as the Demeter prepares to depart Transylvania for London, carrying Captain Eliot (Liam Cunningham), loyal first mate Wojchek (David Dastmalchian), his grandson Toby (Woody Norman) , and a small crew. it grows even smaller when some of the residents taken for a walk sing when they see that the package contains several large boxes that have been sent by an unknown person to Carfax Abbey in London. Among those hired at the last second is Clemens (Corey Hawkins), who signs on as the plane's doctor to get home to England. His skills come in handy when one of the boxes is accidentally opened, and a mysterious figure (Aisling Franciosi) is discovered with a mysterious illness that requires a blood transfusion.
Soon, strange things began to happen in the ship. All the animals on board and the beloved dog Toby are slaughtered in one evening. The crowd began to see and hear new things during the night, and even the rats of the ship seemed to disappear, leading to the undead line;"A ship without rats - such It's against nature." Soon members of the crew begin to disappear, driving those already in a state of unhelpful paranoia when the stowaway, whose name proves to be Anna, finally wakes up and informs Clemens and the others that they will Steal a line from Mel. Brooks, yes, they have Nosferatu. As Dracula (Javier Botet) continues to prey on the ship, the survivors quickly try to figure out how to stop him before they reach London.
The film is directed by Andre Ovredal, whose previous credits include such horror-related efforts as "Trollhunter," "The Autism of Jane Doe," and "Horror Stories to Tell in the Dark." At this time, he is trying to figure out how to tell a story in which everyone in the audience will be in front of the characters on the screen almost every time. He achieved this primarily by paying close attention to the visual style, creating an interesting and exciting atmosphere everywhere - even during the events set during the day - this is all good and scary. "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" is one of the best horror movies to come out soon. The cat-and-mouse game between Dracula and the crew is staged in a way that shows the sea contrast of "Alien," with Ovredal's watering holes for maximum tension before ending in some serious business.
However, other films work so well that these flaws don't hurt things too much."The Last Journey of Demetrius" may be a big part of the history of Dracula cinema along the lines of Terence Fisher's hammer production "Fear of Dracula", Werner Herzog's version of "Nosferatu Vampire" or Stoker Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram". Dracula. But it's a smart, well-made, and sometimes scary story that two people who are afraid of fear will love. and casual moviegoers can appreciate in equal measure.
