Canon Foreigner | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_113480b7 | comment |
Canon Foreigner: While most of the crew were never directly named in the original Dracula novel, a log does enumerate them: 1 captain, 2 mates, 1 cook and 5 hands, with no doctor being mentioned, so this applies to Clemens who also survives the events of the story and is last seen hunting Dracula down in London. There is, naturally, no mention in the novel of a female stowaway being found in one of Dracula's crates full of dirt. The captain's grandson Toby is likewise a complete fabrication for the film. | |

Adaptational Nonsapience | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_13bd571c | comment |
Adaptational Non Sapience: Subverted with Dracula. Early on in the film, Dracula is presented as a feral predator. When he infects Olgaren, not only does he mimic his scared words, but he does it again near the end of the movie when he gives a Shut Up, Kirk! to Clemens, and the movie ends with Dracula having already donned his iconic garb to fit in with the humans in London. | |

Death by Materialism | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_1b7d59b6 | comment |
Death by Materialism: When Dracula charters the Demeter to take the 50 crates to London, he includes an £800 bonusnote Adjusted for inflation this comes to over £85,000 at the time of the movie's release, while the £75 that each regular crewman will receive is the equivalent of almost £8,000., to be split among the crew if they make the run in a certain amount of time without making any stops in any port along the way. This means that after all the ship's livestock is slaughtered, the crew doesn't take the logical option and divert to a nearby port, dooming them all. | |

Looks Like Orlok: This incarnation of Dracula takes many design cues from Orlok, most notably the bald head and pointed ears. Dracula is also distinctly needle-fanged in this version. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Possibly played straight with vampire Olgaren. When Toby clutches a rosary and starts silently praying, he seems to stop trying to break down the door, but this might have just been because Dracula was already in the room with him and he was letting his master close in for the kill. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: To the point of verging on In Name Only. Despite adapting the events of less than a single chapter, the timeline is so loosely adhered to as to be unrecognizable, with everything from the book that could have been a scene being notably absent. To give but one example, the captain is specifically noted to have been dead for two days when the authorities in Whitby discover him, while the film's climax takes place only one day before they reach London. The captain is the subject of many deviations, from the addition of his grandson to the complete negation of his Dying Moment of Awesome. He's also much more keyed into the plot in this version; In the original novel, the captain was the last person to learn about Dracula and didn't see him until his last entry in the log, while here his crew are much more eager to loop him into things. Dracula is here reimagined as a near-feral Orlok-esque winged vampire, appearing to entirely lack the shapeshifting abilities of the book (although he does sprout previously-absent wings after feeding), with even his final appearance dressed to the nines but unmistakably inhuman. The book makes no mention of any additional vampires created from the crew. The film has Olgaren and Toby return as vampiric zombies after Dracula's feeding was interrupted, a fate shared by Anna in the end. Said zombies also burst into flame in direct sunlight, another notable deviation from the book. The captain's death bears some specific mention for how it is rearranged. In the novel, he is found lashed to the wheel with a rosary and cross, having starved to death untouched by Dracula. In the film, his cross entirely fails to ward off Dracula, and Clemens actually unties him from the wheel and lets him down so he can die of his injuries. While the film shows the Demeter beached on a rocky shoal, in the book the ship practically sailed itself into harbor, with Dracula disembarking in the form of an intimidating black dog. Several paragraphs are even spent on the subject of who is legally responsible for the wreckage. | |

| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Death of a Child: As one might expect from a story with such a Foregone Conclusion, Toby does not survive the events of the story. This pretty much destroys the captain's spirit. | |

Shoot the Dog | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_2737c505 | comment |
Shoot the Dog: Subverted. After Toby is bitten but left still alive, Clemens worries aloud about his chances of survival, recalling how Olgaren turned and became a threat as a result of his wounds. Wojchek starts to hand him a gun, demanding he "look him in the eye" when he does it, and Clemens balks at the implication and turns him down. Considering Toby's ultimate fate, it might have been kinder if he had. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_2764d432 | comment |
Joseph seems like an all right guy early on, but once Dracula has killed several members of the crew, his self-righteousness boils to the surface. He claims Dracula's appearance is a curse from God, and chews out the crew for various "sins" they committed (while conspicuously not bringing up any "sins" of his own). He then knocks out one of his crewmates and tries to steal a boat to escape, so the audience is unlikely to mourn him when Dracula simply flies out to his boat to eat him. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: Since Clemens isn't part of the Dracula novel, it can be assumed that his path never crossed the Harkers and their allies. That, and the way Dracula seems to be baiting him into following at the end of the movie, it could be that he's Killed Offscreen, but there's no way to know for sure. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: A Foregone Conclusion, since the Demeter's fate is established in the opening of the film and this is merely a single chapter in the larger story of Dracula. Clemens survives, and has a haunting encounter in a busy pub where Dracula taunts him before vanishing into the foggy streets. | |

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_351e7cf9 | comment |
Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Clemens is a learned man from Cambridge, a doctor who professes a desire to understand the world and make sense of it, and insists on using logic and advanced (for the time) medical practice in the face of the horrors on the ship. Meanwhile the crew is established as being superstitious and emotionally-charged. Toby even remarks early on how Captain Elliot prefers the Demeter, an old wooden ship, to a more modern steam-powered vessel. Dracula himself is presented as a distinctly "old world" monster from a very feudal country, one who is aided by the crew's supernatural beliefs rather than thwarted by them. Notably, the "enlightened" Clemens is the only survivor of the crew. This is actually in line with the original novel, where Dracula represented the old world and superstition while Van Helsing was a man of science and reason although, unlike Clemens, he had no issue mixing it up with faith (also some of his tools, like phrenology, would be considered superstition rather than science today). Van Helsing's greater success is due to, among other factors, having a crew that actually listens to him. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who has read the original Dracula knows that the Demeter arrives in England with no surviving crew. This is played with slightly in that while Clemens survives, he arrives in England separately from the Demeter and makes no report of his survival, leaving the newspaper accounts to match those in the novel. | |

Adaptational Heroism: Not that the crew in the novel was evil, but their role is limited to being picked off by Dracula, and as awesome as the captain's death is it still leads Dracula to port. In this movie not only they actively try to fight him off, but even attempt to prevent him from reaching the coast. Not to mention that Clemens manages to survive the encounter and vows to hunt him down. | |

| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: Granted, it's mostly tinged with sadistic intentions, but Dracula seems to form this opinion towards Clemens over the course of the film, openly confronting him when Clemens gives a passionate The Reason You Suck speech over how he's ultimately as mortal as the rest of them, aiming to break his spirit for the insult. Whilst they both mutually fail to kill the other, in The Stinger Dracula intentionally alerts Clemens to his presence in a London pub before vanishing into the streets, clearly inviting him to have another go at stopping him so they can both settle their score. | |

Contrasting Sequel Main Character | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_517d2eb8 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Main Character: Clemens is one for Abraham Van Helsing. Both men are professional doctors and men of science in general, but while Van Helsing is already well versed in the supernatural and quick to identify the threat's origin, Clemens has no such background and initially tries to find more mundane explanation for the threat facing them. Because of the above-mentioned knowledge, Van Helsing is able to better plan against Dracula's actions with the loss of only a single member of his group, Clemens ends up being the Sole Survivor of his own. Van Helsing also commands considerable respect and is a fairly big name in the medical world, while Clemens struggles to find work due to the racism he faces (which makes this contrast a twofold, since Van Helsing is accepted despite being a foreigner, while Clemens is ostracized despite being English). | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: Dracula brought Anna aboard to feed on her blood, presumably so as not to draw the crew's attention. When Clemens gets her out of reach, he makes do with eating the livestock and the rats, and only attacks the crew when he runs out of those. Even then, he only kills one at a time, both to "ration" their blood, and to make sure the ship has enough people to get him to England. | |

Something Only They Would Say | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_605cf3f | comment |
Something Only They Would Say: A non-verbal version. Early on in the film, Toby teaches Clemens the particular knock-on-wood signal the Demeter's crew uses to communicate around the ship to indicate all's well. In the epilogue, Dracula tauntingly repeats this same signal to get Clemens' attention in a crowded London pub, using his Classy Cane to make the knocking sound, before leaving into the streets, to tell the ship's Doctor that all is not well with him still being alive, and challenging him silently to finish what they started on the ship, if he dares. | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_794f3589 | comment |
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In the original novel, an impenetrable fog surrounds the Demeter the entire time it is in the English Channel, preventing them from contacting any other ships for help or going to any of the many ports on both sides of the Channel. While the fog can be briefly seen in the movie, the fact that it is the reason they're not putting in somewhere or why the crew doesn't try to get help in one of the world's most heavily trafficked sea-lanes isn't brought up. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Clemens gives one of these to Dracula at the end, emphasizing that while the others believe he's a devil or a god, the fact that he feeds on them to survive means that he's just as mortal and scared of death as the rest of them. This ends up saving his life, as Dracula makes a point of sadistically toying with him afterwards rather than just killing him outright, which gives Anna time to save him. | |

Politically Correct History | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: Subverted. During the first half of the film the trope appears to be in play, as the fact that Clemens is not only Black but also a doctor (a pretty unusual combination in that time and place) is completely unremarked upon, but then the prejudices that such an individual would've faced in the closing years of the XIX century become a plot point. Clemens was one of the first Black doctors to graduate from Cambridge medical school, but his skin color made it impossible for him to get any job in England. The only reason he was in Varna at the start of the movie, completely broke, was because his credentials had gotten him a job offer as personal physician to King Carol of Romania, which promptly got rescinded once they became aware of his ancestry. | |

Holy Burns Evil | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_8c4bafff | comment |
Holy Burns Evil: Notably averted, as a departure from the source material (where Dracula can be repelled by holy objects). There are several deeply religious characters on board and multiple rosaries that get significant, lingering shots during the movie. Captain Elliot even holds one up when making his final confrontation with Dracula. They do absolutely nothing, though whether this is because Elliot's faith was not strong enough, or if holy objects really do nothing against this incarnation of Dracula, is not made clear. Possibly played straight with vampire Olgaren. When Toby clutches a rosary and starts silently praying, he seems to stop trying to break down the door, but this might have just been because Dracula was already in the room with him and he was letting his master close in for the kill. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Petrofsky and Larsen. The former is a surly drunk who makes derogatory comments about Clemens and Anna, and the latter holds his knife at Clemens when he attempts to retaliate. Fittingly, the two men are Dracula’s first human victims. Joseph seems like an all right guy early on, but once Dracula has killed several members of the crew, his self-righteousness boils to the surface. He claims Dracula's appearance is a curse from God, and chews out the crew for various "sins" they committed (while conspicuously not bringing up any "sins" of his own). He then knocks out one of his crewmates and tries to steal a boat to escape, so the audience is unlikely to mourn him when Dracula simply flies out to his boat to eat him. | |

Viral Transformation: Early on, the crew worry that whatever killed the animals might be contagious. They are partially correct, as is Clemens' theory that Anna's condition is the result of "infected blood". Everyone that is bitten, but not immediately killed, ends up turning into a vampire. The blood transfusions are able to delay the change, but ultimately cannot save Toby or Anna from turning. | |

| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_c66cb5a9 | comment |
Human Sacrifice: Routinely sacrificing villagers to appease Dracula's hunger is apparently how Anna's village survived living under his rule for hundreds of years. It's implied she was specifically raised for this purpose herself. | |

Offscreen Teleportation | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_c691d3f4 | comment |
Offscreen Teleportation: Dracula can disappear if the camera is off of him even for a moment. One notable example is an upward panning shot that shows Dracula's legs underneath the table, but once the camera gets above it, he has vanished. | |

Shout-Out | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Toby's dog is named Huckleberry. It's quite probably a reference in-universe as well given that the books involving him were originally released in 1876 and 1884 and the film is set in 1897. | |

Retirony: Captain Elliot states early on that he intends to retire, and this will be his last voyage. He's correct about the second part, but will not survive to enjoy the peaceful life he'd planned for his retirement. | |

It Can Think: The crew slowly realize the monster aboard is smart. Using misdirection, targeting them in vulnerable areas and using strategy makes Dracula far more dangerous. | |

Death by Pragmatism | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_cccb4fd1 | comment |
Death by Pragmatism: Joseph decides to steal a lifeboat in the middle of the night to escape Dracula. That would have been a smart decision if Dracula wasn't killing the crew one at a time to make sure they last the journey and are able to keep the ship going. By already removing himself from the crew, Joseph just made himself Dracula's next meal. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Dracula's ability to shapeshift, control the weather and the mind of others are all left out of this movie, and he gains a vulnerability to the sun. The trope is hugely downplayed, though, since what is left is more than enough to make him an unstoppable threat. One might assume he still has these powers, but held back because he didn't consider the crew enough of a threat to use them. | |

Harbinger of Impending Doom: The scarred old man in the opening of the film, who changes his mind about joining the crew once he sees the dragon on the boxes they're carrying and loudly tells them why. Unfortunately for the Demeter, no one heeds his warnings until it's too late. | |

Closed Circle | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_e2a6ebc1 | comment |
Closed Circle: The Demeter is a cargo vessel in the middle of the ocean, preventing the cast from leaving when things start to go wrong. Even worse, they had an opportunity to stop in port early on when the animals died, but if they did that they would lose their early delivery bonus and so chose not to. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: The dialogue states that after the ship passes the Gulf of Biscay, their only course of action is to continue on to London, which is absolutely not the case, as by that point they would've been in the English Channel and could've just as easily landed anywhere in Brittany or Normandy if they didn't want to make landfall in England. This extends to the entire voyage, as unlike what the movie implies, the Demeter's route would've never taken them to any point where sailing to a port during the daylight time wouldn't have been an option. Were it not for the points of origin and destination, a viewer might be forgiven for thinking the movie depicted a transatlantic voyage. | |

Monster Progenitor | |
| The Last Voyage of the Demeter / int_eb467486 | comment |
Monster Progenitor: Dracula's bites infect his victims with vampirism when they die, as per the source material, though unlike in the novel it doesn't seem to make them into a being like himself. Rather, his progeny appear to be more like classic undead, semi-mindless slaves with none of his special powers and easy prey for the typical vampire weaknesses, like sunlight. | |
