THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (2023)  (mini film review by Mark R. Leeper and
Evelyn C. Leeper)

THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE
DEMETER covers a section of the novel usually glossed over,
Dracula's journey (primarily by ship) from Transylvania to Whitby.  
The make-up models Dracula on Nosferatu rather than on later
versions of the Count.  (Homage, or just relying on an image in the
public domain?)  A lot of the movie is filmed in semi-darkness, so
it is sometimes difficult to know what is going on.  This film has
some gratuitous anachronisms (primarily in the addition of a new
character) and also breaks some horror film "rules" (again,
focusing on a specific new character).  Of some interest to Dracula
aficionados, but not much to offer a general audience.  [-ecl]

Released theatrically 11 August 2023.  Rating: 0 (-4 to +4), or
4/10.
