The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) [review]
SJW garbage, cultural vandalism
To the Point Review
Bad movie.
SJW garbage. My interest lasted to around the 5 minute mark.
I was aware of this being part of the Dracula universe and that’s all I knew. Although a horror fan, I’m not really into Dracula. Doesn’t appeal to me for some reason. The older films are too slow and clunky while the newer films contain over-the-top comic book level stupidity.
Actually, ‘Dracula Untold’ (2014) wasn’t too bad. Almost forgot that existed. Staring Luke Evans, who should be known for playing Bard in ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ (2013). However, he’s not even in the first page of acting credits on IMDB. He killed Smaug! Further proof of Amazon’s agenda. They own IMDb in case everyone forgot. The reviews should give it away.
The premise to ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ sounded great; based on a legendary horror villain, set in 1897, a ship is chartered from Romania to England, it’s carrying a mysterious spooky thing, when it arrives in England everyone is dead and the captain (?) is found with hands bound to the helm. I can imagine a dozen twists to make this a box office smash. It would take a colossal lack of talent to fuck it up…
…they did.
Our first task is to power through a few lines of exposition. Worthless exposition and actually a spoiler for the film. The most mediocre of production crews could have easily weaved this in to the narrative. Laziness, incompetence, pretentiousness or over enthusiasm?
We’re then transported to Whitby, England. Barely an hour drive from me! It’s night time, there’s a ship washed up onshore and am I watching a made for TV Disney show? This acting is atrocious. Framing and direction are below average. This was backed by a major studio. Tracking isn’t fluid and we’re barely a few minutes in. The jump cut to a jump scare that lead to the title sequence was unacceptably amateurish.
‘Four weeks earlier’ and we’re following a dragon adorned crate being transported to some dock in Europe. Who is the main character we’re introduced to? A black male leaning against a wall like an emo weeb at a teenage party they’re too cool to attend. This is 1897 Romania. There are no blacks. There are almost none today, 126 years later.
The warning signs are all there; terrible acting, direction and diversity hiring. There’s no point wasting our time on this unwatchable, indoctrinating crap. Let’s skip through the film just to confirm what we 100% know.
Jumping to random timestamps, I found not only constant scenes with this black but a Roma looking woman too. It appears that the black survives to the end. Given the rest of the cast are appropriately white, they’re no doubt on a mission to save the white man from the white man. 100% social engineering ‘diversity’ nonsense. A black-dirtying of history, again.
Are these characters accurate to the book? Should there have been a Western educated black in 1897 Romania? Should a woman, who are historically considered back luck on ships, been on a ship? If so then I’m the problem.
No. Apparently, the story of the Demeter was barely mentioned in the original works. It was glossed over via a newspaper article with minimal details. So what Hollywood has done is abuse an established IP, vandalised the words of Bram Stoker, for their socially engineered black dirtying of history.
I’m not watching anymore so… to the Internet!
“The narrative centers on Clemens (Corey Hawkins), a Black doctor struggling to find work in prejudiced 1897 England and abroad.”
The final nail in Dracula’s coffin comes courtesy of the CIA mouthpiece, Wikipedia…
“Clemens, a doctor, overhears that the ship is looking for crew members. He attempts to convince the crew that he would be a valuable crew member because of his medical skills and education in astronomy at Cambridge”
Undisputed confirmation of SJW nonsense.
He was educated in Cambridge, presumably they mean ‘Cambridge’ as in one of the most prestigious universities in England, but the country is prejudice? If that were so then he wouldn’t have been admitted to the university. This is 1897. There were a handful of blacks in the entirety of England. They were uneducated, unskilled labourers or visiting military personnel.
They weren’t accepted or shunned by society. No one cared because they adapted to the society they wanted to migrate to for a better life.
ENGLAND IS NOT AMERICA
THE WORLD IS NOT AMERICA
AMERICA IS NOT THE BENCHMARK FOR CIVILISATION
How do I know there were almost no blacks in the 1897 England and Romania? First of all, there were almost no blacks in England in the 1980’s. I know because I remember the 1980’s. If there were almost none in in the 1980’s, then there were pitifully few 9 decades earlier. Romania is a lot stricter with the preservation of culture, which is a good thing, so their society is kept majority white and peaceful. Weird that.
Secondly, we have pictures. Black(less) and white photographic evidence that the population of England and Romania were white. Those people you see in pictures with black faces are coal miners, not actual black people. I shouldn’t have to explain that in the current year
Case closed.
What’s that woman’s role in this story? Couldn’t care less. The inclusion of a black character in a time period where they should not be present, is a deal breaker This is not suspension of disbelief, it’s cultural vandalism by Americans who have no understanding of culture. The word is foreign to them.
What If
Why could this film have not been about a boat from Africa? Perhaps an African tribe is angry at British colonists, so sends a boat carrying a cursed box to plague The Empire. During the journey there’s a revolt, a couple of the black crew try to throw the box overboard, the box is opened and there’s a fight to contain the evil before it reaches England. Period accurate, can have the 100% black cast Hollwood craves and they save the white man!
Right, that would take talent. Something I have naturally, but these Hollywood hacks never will. Instead they push their revisionist history using established IP’s, hoping people are dumb enough to go along. We are not as dumb as them.
The End
I’m not wasting any more of my life on this trash and neither should you. Plenty of better films to watch.
If you’re desperately seeking a good vampire movie with a black actor, watch ‘Blade’ (1998). For the thousandth time. A unsurpassed, fantastic movie which doesn’t blacken history, has no social engineering and never ages.
