Ep916: THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER (2023) - Round Table Review
Earth's Mightiest Critics sink their teeth into this adaptation of a single chapter from Bram Stoker's Dracula!
Yes, The Last Voyage of the Demeter tells the story of a doomed ship transporting the undead, bloodthirsty body of the OG vampire from Transylvania to London. It was all but drowned out at the weekend box office (Thanks, Barbenheimer!), but is it actually worth a watch?
(With praise from the likes of Stephen King and our very own Jeff York, how could it not be?)
Join us for this spoilerific journey through the choppy waters of "homage"; overstating themes to death; and troublesome title cards! Oh, we also have some good things to say, too!
