Based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London.
Strange events befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive the ocean voyage, stalked each night by a merciless presence onboard the ship. When the Demeter finally arrives off the shores of England, it is a charred, derelict wreck. There is no trace of the crew.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter stars Corey Hawkins (Straight Outta Compton), Aisling Franciosi (The Nightingale), Liam Cunningham (Game of Thrones), David Dastmalchian (Dune), Jon Jon Briones (Ratched), Stefan Kapicic (Deadpool), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Stranger Things) and Javier Botet (It).
The Last Voyage of the Demeter arrives in cinemas on August 11th.
