One of the most alluring aspects of The Last Voyage of the Demeter is how it has to flesh out the seventh chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It’s a relatively short, obscure entry, dealing with the ship that brings Dracula’s coffin over from Romania to England. Little did the crew know they were transporting the vampire king, which resulted in him picking them off one by one.It’s a chapter fans always imagined due to the sheer horror involved, and how it added such mystery and intrigue. Director André Øvredal does a lot to pad this unseen story, making it even more frightening as the ship encounters a storm. It helps differentiate the film a lot from the novel, adding nuance, tension and drama. With that in mind, let’s break down the biggest changes made as Bram Stoker’s famous vampire novel is adapted for the big screen.The Dracula novel focused on the unnamed Captain in a state of panic and dementia, as he logged how the crew members went missing. This film isn’t told from his perspective. It’s just a straight-up flashback, adding a ton of new characters to the mix. The Captain is given the name Elliot, with people like his grandson, Toby, on board. It adds humanity and family to the mix. The first mate is now Wojchek, someone Elliot endorses wholeheartedly. It further removes that sense of anonymity from the movie.RELATED: The Last Voyage of the Demeter Director Clarifies Guillermo del Toro’s Involvement
