'Last Voyage of the Demeter' Director Explains Dracula's Evolution
The Big Picture Few monsters of horror legend have quite as long a shadow as Dracula. First introduced in Bram Stoker's legendary novel, the titular count has become the archetypal vampire, appearing sophisticated, manipulative, and, of course, bloodthirsty. In The Last Voyage of the Demeter, however, audiences will witness Dracula as he's never appeared before — slinking through the shadows of the Russian ship en route to London and ripping through every crew member in a beastly form.
Øvredal's goal was for that gradual reveal of Dracula to feel like an evolution as everyone within the film and without becoming more familiar with how it looks and how it attacks. Writing the reveals to fit the script was crucial for him to ensure the pace feels right when watching the creature at work:
Dracula Is Made All the Creepier Thanks to the Actor Behind It Of course, it certainly helps when Javier Botet is the man behind the monster. Botet has built a reputation for his excellent character acting as nightmarish horror creatures like the Crooked Man from The Conjuring 2, KeyFace from Insidious: The Last Key, and the Slender Man from the ill-fated film based on the internet sensation. He's even been a Xenomorph before in Alien: Covenant.
