The Last Voyage of the Demeter ’s heavy atmosphere and dread can only carry the film through a small portion of the journey, leaving the rest dead in the water.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 6, 2025

…despite some effort, The Last Voyage of the Demeter isn’t quite as good as you’d hope, but it’s a classy, well-upholstered horror film that has a bit of manic Horror Express energy by the climax…

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2024

Øvredal’s latest film doesn’t quite match the excellence of his former work, but remains a solid adaptation of an often overlooked segment in Stoker’s classic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2024

Unfortunately, despite a highly capable cast, this adaptation just doesn’t have much wind in its sails.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 26, 2024

If the outcome is a foregone conclusion, no-one told the characters, and The Last Voyage of the Demeter commits itself admirably to being the standalone version of this story; like a ship in a bottle, it’s neatly constructed and corked in.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2024

André Øvredal’s fatalistic oceanic horror revamps Stoker’s seafaring slaughter for a multiracial future.

| Aug 25, 2024

With a gorgeous gothic setting, fantastic performances and an eerie villain, 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' is often an entertaining watch. However, the lack of meat on its bones as a feature length film means the story leaves much to be desired.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 24, 2024

A carefully crafted and seductive work of classic horror by Norwegian director André Ovredal. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 15, 2024

Fails in the central aspect of what it aims for: that of terror, visually conventional and narratively poor. [Full review in Spanish[

The Last Voyage of the Demeter is the ‘Master and Commander’ of horror cinema... with a gothic flavor, an evil creature, and crew of drunks full of honor. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2024

More interested in being a bloody creature feature, bulldozing the creepy sense of desolation and despair that permeates Stoker's prose.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 24, 2024

Worse (for the crew), it thoroughly enjoys terrifying its victims before opening their veins. Far from the charming and debonair Draculs of yore, this Count is a real asshole, and Øvredal and Schut, Jr. go places not many modern horror movies do.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 25, 2024

It's simply not scary.

| Original Score: C | Dec 4, 2023

A compelling terror tale that retains the flavor of Bram Stoker but adopts the pattern of Alien (the tagline might as well have been “At sea, no one can hear you scream”).

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 28, 2023

Despite the nature of its monster, the film lacks any real bite and feels very predictable and lacking in atmosphere or movement.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 6, 2023

The concessive events that are narrated... do not successfully spark interest sufficient to maintain afloat this two-hour film that is also not very entertaining. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 5, 2023

A gothic claustrophobic horror tale that presents us with an animalistic and genuinely scary Dracula, who is brought to aggressive life by Javier Botet.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 28, 2023

The Last Voyage of the Demeter is pretty in that gritty style that says everyone needs a bath and no one should share a comb. With 95% of the film taking place on the Demeter, the ship feels both vast and claustrophobic.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 23, 2023

You have a pretty good sense of what’s going to happen. ... If you have a boat with a “Vampire on Board” bumper sticker, there’s a good chance that one crew member after another is getting slaughtered, and it’s just a matter of watching it happen.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 23, 2023

The movie knows exactly what it is ... It doesn’t take itself seriously, but it’s also never winking at us, which is a fine line to walk.
