Universal City, California, October 10, 2023 – The gripping horror tale THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER will be available with revealing extras when you buy on Digital, Blu-rayTM and DVD October 17, 2023 from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Based on a single iconic chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel, Dracula, the film tells the chilling story of the merchant ship Demeter and the strange events that befall the doomed crew as they attempt to survive an ocean voyage to London with a truly monstrous stowaway on board. THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER includes over 30 minutes of never-before-seen bonus content including an alternate opening, deleted scenes, and behind-the-scenes featurettes showcasing the making of the film.

Hailed as an “epic horror adventure” (Bloody Disgusting), THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER is directed by Norwegian horror virtuoso André Øvredal (Troll Hunter, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark), featuring a talented cast starring Corey Hawkins (Blackkklansman, In the Heights), Aisling Franciosi (“Game of Thrones”, The Nightingale, The Fall), Liam Cunningham ("Game of Thrones”, Hunger, The Wind that Shakes the Barley), David Dastmalchian (The Dark Knight, Dune, The Suicide Squad), Chris Walley (1917, The Young Offenders, Bloodlands), Jon Jon Briones (“Ratched”, “American Horror Stories), Stefan Kapicic (“Better Call Saul”), Martin Furuland (“The Last Kingdom”), Nikolai Nikolaeff (Mile 22, “Daredevil”), Woody Norman (C’mon C’mon), Javier Botet (It, Amigo).

A terrifying new addition to the Dracula legend, based on a single chilling chapter from Bram Stoker’s classic novel, THE LAST VOYAGE OF THE DEMETER chronicles the doomed journey of a merchant ship ferrying 50 mysterious wooden crates from Carpathia to London. As they set sail, the crew soon discovers they are not alone on board: at night they are stalked by a hidden passenger whose monstrous thirst for blood turns the trip into a harrowing nightmare of tension, terror and unfathomable evil.

A lot of things seems to be coming out on 10/17.I've got five things on pre-order including this all released on 10/17.

What's with all these Chinese releases of this film on eBay? Are they legit?

[Adegan]

Will wait to see if they release a 4k. Universal is the King of releasing the 4k a few months later. They're not gonna get me like they did with The Black Phone.

The Black Phone was a big financial hit. Look at other Universal releases like Firestarter and Beast from 2022 that have been out on Blu-ray much longer than The Black Phone, and there are no UHD releases for them anywhere because they were money losers for Universal. Demeter was a money loser. I’m not betting on a 4K release for this.

Yeah, I think this movie's best chance at a 4K is either Turbine in Germany, or Shout in a year's time.

Looks like they dropped the Louis Leterrier commentary.

Any word on when this might drop on Peacock? Missed it in theaters and wanted to see it.

Renfield premiered on Peacock a few days after the Blu-ray came out, so it may be the same for "Demeter".

I'm glad that the press release got posted. I ordered this and Haunted Mansion. I can live without the movie on UHD, but hopefully it'll release one of these days for those that do want it.

Amazon has adjusted the Release date: Tuesday, October 17, 2023.My pre-order there though still says Delivery estimate: Tuesday, January 2, 2024 by 10pm.Hopefully that gets adjusted too in the next few days.

[tangerinewolf]

Really want this in 4K, but am about to preorder. It comes out next Tuesday... that was certainly fast!

Does anyone know if it comes with a slipcover? The entry here on blu-ray.com says it does, but I can't find a mockup picture with one anywhere.

Amazon updated my delivery estimate to Delivery estimate: Wednesday, October 18, 2023 by 10pm.

I don't think Universal posted any pics of the slipcover. It has a similar Collector's Edition banner as The Black Phone, which also just had pics without a slip, but did come with one, so it might be the same here too.

I saw a pic on X (Twitter) and yes, it comes with a slipcover.
