The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023): ⭐️⭐️
A clever concept that’s poorly executed. Not creepy, not scary, no real suspense because we know the end result, really needed about half an hour edited out (it dragged rather than being suspenseful), and then a ridiculous ending that seems like they’re trying to set up a sequel, which makes no sense. Very glad we didn’t spring for this one in the theater.
We get to have a classic Universal horror movie monster marathon this Halloween! (Amazon had this on sale for $40 a couple days ago.) Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Bride of Frankenstein, The Wolf Man, Phantom of the Opera, and Creature From the Black Lagoon! (286/366)
Four old SF anthologies, a mid-70s printing of Clockwork Orange, a Star Trek novel, and a DVD collection of four Dracula films…all for $8. Gotta love campus book sales!
