What's The Song In The Last Voyage Of The Demeter Trailer?

Directed by "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" filmmaker André Øvredal, "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" will bring to life one memorable chapter of "Dracula." The film is based, in specific, on a chapter known as "The Captain's Log," which details through multiple firsthand and secondhand accounts the terrifying fate that befell the crew of a ship that was unknowingly tasked with transporting Count Dracula from Transylvania to England.

"Game of Thrones" star Liam Cunningham leads the film as the captain of its eponymous ship, while actors like Aisling Franciosi, Corey Hawkins, and David Dastmalchian play members of the crew serving under Cunningham's captain. For his part, Javier Botet, who is known for playing creatures like The Crooked Man in "The Conjuring 2," will appear as Dracula himself. Based on the few glimpses of him that are featured in the film's first trailer, too, it seems safe to say that Botet's Dracula will be one of the more physically horrifying versions of the character that has ever been brought to life on-screen.

The initial teaser for "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" paints its iteration of Dracula as a slasher-esque figure who is intent on slowly but surely picking off the crew members of the film's eponymous ship. With that in mind, it makes even more sense that "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" was chosen for the film's first trailer. After all, "Despite all my rage / I am still just a rat in a cage," which is repeated throughout the song's chorus, feels like a pretty fitting way to describe what it'd be like to be trapped on a boat with a blood-sucking vampire.
