In this special edition episode, we board “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” and find out if it’s a cinematic journey worth taking.
SPOILER ALERT!!! THIS IS A SPOILER-FILLED REVIEW OF THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER!
As iconic as Dracula is, few blockbusters are centered around him. The most well-known ones enter the pop culture lexicon and have long lives. Except at the box office. The vampire movies that have sprung from Bram Stoker’s novel are a different story.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter is a take on a chapter from the original book.
But it is really a story of missed opportunities. We talk about all the strange plot holes and constant teases. This includes one of the worst attempts at social commentary ever seen and the misuse of several great actors.
We tried to judge the film on its own merits, but it’s hard not to compare it to the source material. As the trailers have shown, The Last Voyage of the Demeter leans into the monster aspect of Dracula. How well did it showcase its powers? And what did we think of its sequel-baiting ending?
For all the bad, we actually had some good things to say.
Not everyone may be a fan of one of the most debonair horror figures being turned into a mindless beast, but it looked pretty cool. Plus, there is some good gore and exploding bodies. But is it enough?
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked with filmmaker Zach Passero about his animated feature, The Weird Kidz.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
