Do you know how many vampire films there are? Short answer: A LOT!

This week we watched two vampire films with vampire slaughters in enclosed or isolated spaces. To be honest, it didn’t start out with that theme. It was going to be vampire action films, but when one film is not an action thriller, you pivot.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) – Directed by André Øvredal
This 2023 horror film tells the story of the doomed crew aboard the Demeter, a ship transporting mysterious cargo from Carpathia to London. Based on a chapter from Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the film explores the terrifying events that unfold as a sinister presence stalks the crew during their ocean voyage.

30 Days of Night (2007) – Directed by David Slade
Adapted from a comic book miniseries, this 2007 action horror film depicts the plight of a small Alaskan town plunged into a month of darkness. As the sun sets for 30 days, a bloodthirsty vampire horde descends upon the isolated community, forcing the remaining residents to fight for survival.

Spoilers start around 5:03.
