Everyone is loving this new horror movie about Dracula on a boat - including Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro
The Last Voyage of the Demeter has finally docked into cinemas in the US, and its arrival has sparked a boat-load of hilarious Dracula memes. While the horror-thriller has received mostly negative reviews, social media users are reveling in its not-so-novel premise, which sees a ship's crew terrorized by a vampiric stowaway.
Based on 'The Captain's Log', a chapter from Bram Stoker's 1897 book Dracula, the movie stars Corey Hawkins, Aisling Franciosi, Liam Cunningham, and The Boogeyman's David Dastmalchian. André Øvredal, who has previously helmed genre flicks like The Autopsy of Jane Doe and Trollhunter, directs.

Some aren't enjoying the bit as much, however, suggesting that those poking fun at the Demeter's Alien or Snakes on a Plane-esque plot clearly aren't familiar with the fact that Dracula ends up at sea in several titles.
