Fun Facts of Movie

Inspired by a single chapter from Dracula
The entire film is based on “The Captain’s Log” chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, expanding a small section of the novel into a full horror story.

A Dracula story set entirely at sea
Unlike most Dracula adaptations, the movie takes place almost entirely aboard the merchant ship Demeter during its doomed voyage to England.

Claustrophobic horror on the ocean
The isolated ship setting creates constant tension, with the crew trapped at sea and unable to escape the growing terror onboard.

Directed by André Øvredal
The film is directed by André Øvredal, known for atmospheric horror films like Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

Dracula appears in a more monstrous form
Instead of the elegant vampire often seen in adaptations, this version of Dracula is portrayed as a terrifying creature stalking the ship’s crew.
