One of the greatest challenges when making a monster movie is nailing the creature reveal. Not only must one figure out exactly how much to show and when, but then, when the full reveal does come, the design absolutely must live up to the hype set by the film’s building tension and dread. With The Last Voyage of the Demeter hitting theaters nationwide this weekend, director André Øvredal took the time to walk me through how he and his team tackled that challenge on the new Dracula film.
The movie is based on one chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The Demeter is a merchant ship packed with private cargo - 50 unmarked wooden crates of dirt to be exact. Soon after the crew sets sail from Carpathia to London, strange events start to occur, and eventually, those strange events turn deadly. When the Demeter finally makes it to London, the ship is a wreck and the crew is nowhere to be found.
During my chat with Øvredal, he broke down how he approached bringing this version of Dracula to screen which required the services of creature actor legend Javier Botet and some very helpful lessons learned from Guillermo del Toro. Hear all about that and why Øvredal favors practical effects and capturing things on camera in this Last Voyage of the Demeter interview!
