Is ‘The Last Voyage of the Demeter’ Streaming Now? When Will New Dracula Flick Head to Showtime?
Summer is the perfect time for a lovely, long sea voyage right? The weather is hot, but the breeze helps passengers and crew forget the temperature and enjoy the scenic ocean views. That is, unless you happen to be boarding a ship sailing from Transylvania to England in the late 19th century, like the crew in “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” which officially debuts in theaters on Friday, Aug. 11.
The Demeter’s voyage begins pleasantly enough, but soon strange events begin to set the crew on edge. Soon they realize they’re being stalked by an unseen force. The merciless and legendary vampire Dracula is aboard ship, and the crew must fight to stay alive each night as they stare into the brink of eternity.
Critics haven’t been terribly enthusiastic about the film, which currently has a 36% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But no one goes into a movie like “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” expecting to see an Oscar-winner; they go for the spine-tingling chills and merciless horror that the film is packed with, as the trailer makes clear.

Since “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” is a theatrical-exclusive release, fans won’t be able to marathon it with “Bram Stoker's Dracula,” currently available to rent on Prime Video, at home. The movie hasn’t had the most robust box office thus far, which likely means “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” won’t tarry long in theaters.
Although “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” is being distributed by Universal, its rights are actually owned by Amblin Partners. That production house has a Pay-1 deal with SHOWTIME, which means the best way to stream the new Dracula-themed flick is with a subscription to Paramount+ with Showtime.
It’s hard to say when exactly fans will be able to stream “The Last Voyage of the Demeter,” as Amblin does not have a ton of recent releases to track with lately. “The Fabelmans” took an extended trip through theaters, but it was seen as a hardcore awards contender, which is not a category “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” is likely to find itself in.
As of now, we’re guessing “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” will stream on Paramount+ with Showtime on Monday, Sep. 25, 45 days after its theatrical debut. That gives viewers plenty of time before Halloween to add it to their spooky movie marathon!
