“So this is what Citadel wants to be.”

That’s one of the first thoughts this writer had while watching the opening setpiece of the new big-budget Netflix blockbuster, Heart of Stone. Like the Russo Brothers’ lifeless, dead-on-arrival Amazon Prime series from earlier this year, Heart of Stone focuses on the agents of a secret, technologically advanced spy force that operates outside the confines and control of any governmental intelligence agency. Like Citadel, it strives to recapture the same goofy, pulpy tone as the James Bond movies of old. The only difference? Heart of Stone is actually fun.

Perhaps the biggest hurdle for The Last Voyage of the Demeter is that it shows its hand before it even starts. Based on the seventh (and most mysterious) chapter of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, director André Øvredal’s new movie sets itself up nicely. A wrecked ship washes up on the shores of England, empty except for mutilated bodies and a captain’s log warning of a terrible evil that accompanied them.

So what happened on that boat? Many horror fans have wondered, but no movie has provided an answer — until now.
