TL;DR Summary

"The Last Voyage of the Demeter" is an old-fashioned monster movie set in 1897 aboard a wooden ship sailing from Bulgaria to London. Adapted from Bram Stoker's "Dracula," the film follows the journey of the Demeter as Dracula haunts the vessel. While the film captures the atmosphere of a period drama, it deviates from the old-fashioned style whenever Dracula appears, portraying him as a fast-moving goblin-like creature. The performances are corny, and the film lacks the poetic and eerie qualities one would expect from a Dracula adaptation. Overall, "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" falls short of being a truly scary horror film.
