Two things, once they found dracula's resting place, they should've either pushed the box overboard or burned it. And once the crew realized they need to keep the creature from reaching London, they should've dropped anchor and set the entire ship ablaze.

Once they finally realized Dracula was real and the danger he presented, they should have done the one no brainer thing and abandon ship after setting it on fire DURING the day. I understand the movie obviously needed the plot to prolong the ending but when you decide to make a movie based on something or someone make sure the plot isn't just written to extend the run time b/c I swear a kid would've thought of a better idea then what the crew members were coming up with.

The original Drácula wasn’t destroyed by sunlight, it only weakened him by turning him humanlike again. But they could destroy the boxes with the soil from his homeland

I am sure this summary misses some things but... what the hell do these people do all day long on the ship?! They start searching the crates... and they look through all of them before deciding, "Oh, how about this big, coffin-sized, ornate one sitting all by itself?". They don't start scuttling or turning the ship away from land as soon as they decide that plan and just get in the lifeboat and head towards London, they wait until night when they're literally 5 miles offshore? They don't have any nets or ropes or anything to disable or slow Dracula down? Super-strength or not, it's hard to pull a rope apart or fly with netting all over you.

Day-time comes, so you can see better. Take all the crates on to the deck, opening them all, seeing what's inside. Dump any garbage/comatose monsters overboard and carry the rest of the crates to destination, maybe saving more victims, blaming bad weather for losing a few when you arrive. Get paid, live, be traumatised, but alive. Do that right after the woman was discovered.

*"This young man was willing to take a job that was offered to him, and that was his biggest mistake."* -How To Beat

Though Toby was the Captain's grandson, he was probably just starting his apprenticeship. He's of the age where he'd have been a cabin boy (probably what he was, as his job was to look after the animals), or powder monkey (hauling gunpowder). It was yet another touch of historical realism that had me totally loving this story.

As soon as one of those boxes broke open and a person was found inside, they probably should have started checking all the boxes to see if anyone else was inside. If they had done that, they would have discovered Dracula in plenty of time before they lost half the crew and even could have killed him by bringing his box into the sunlight.

Its funny how Love, Death and Robots had an episode that was similar to this (the one in the ship with the monster that also wanted to reach some town), and yet in less time it was able to tell a much better story while having the people on the ship be rational.

Something I love is the subliminal messegaing in this film. The warning knocks are the sound of a heartbeat and as the movie progresses that "heartbeat" grows faster and more erratic as the tension grows. Subliminal messaging for the audience.

I like how this movie didn't hold back and killed the child, in most movies kids just have plot armor.

My only complaint is that Dracula ignored the Rosary, and didn't recoil away in fear or pain. His weakness to the cross was a major part of the legend.

What they should have done instead of setting the trap was stock the life boat. Then while they still had daylight, set the Demeter ablaze. Dracula would either died from the fire or the sunlight.

Anyone remember when this channel was called Cinema Summery

I like how even when he’s roasting the captain he still calls him Captain Elliot. That’s some damn good respect.

They could have just set fire to the ship at sunrise and sailed away on the lifeboat. Instead they went with the "So you have chosen death" option and picked a convoluted plan that involved fighting a vampire at night. They all F'd up.

I’d like to point out one thing when it comes to crosses, or crucifixes if you prefer. It’s not the cross/crucifix itself that holds the power to keep evil at bay, it’s the faith behind it that gives it strength. Holding up a cross/crucifix when you have no faith makes it completely useless as a deterrent, and the majority of the crew weren’t religious. Arming the crew as soon as trouble begins is a good idea but the problem is that the weapons they have are useless against vampires. The crew would need supplies and time to fashion stakes, which the crew don’t have a lot of. They only have so many hours in the day to fashion stakes on top of running the ship, and any successful plan of attack with less risk requires that they find Dracula’s hiding place early on. Would have been helpful if the crew thought to search the crates in the hold after finding Anna. Any plan of attack also should have been taken during the day, but it’s like the crew were allergic to the sun considering they had hatched every plan at night when Dracula had the advantage. Garlic is hit or miss when it comes to vampire lore, so I wouldn’t bet on garlic being a useful deterrent. I’d also like to point out that Dracula would have likely killed Anna fairly quickly if given the opportunity, so fat chance of him burning in sunlight while being distracted by feeding since dawn looked to be hours away.

The Captain really should have checked what was in those crates before disembarking. Still , it’s nice to see Ser Davos back on a ship 😂

As soon as they found Draculas resting plqce, they could have waited until morning, put some nails or such into his crate to prevent him from leaving and push the crate into the ocean. Maybe connect something heavy to it to make it sink

Finally a kid without plot armor

I would have challenged Dracula to an arm wrestling contest. Winner has to stop their shenanigans. It's the only way to truly defeat a creature of the night.

I just read Dracula and now it came out a video about The Last Voyage of the Demeter, the ship that Dracula uses to arrive to England. What a coincidence😂.

I'm actually very happy that this movie did not kill him in the end and he's alive that made this movie way better than it should have should have been in my eyes

Guys we gotta keep it consistent of if he want competent survivors we have to make the killer competent too… they cant take his coffin to the deck, we gotta assume hed wake up to the sound of his box dragging along the floor, especially when he sleeps in dirt and sound travels better through solids. So hed wake up and kill them all below deck. The only fool proof plan is at sunrise set the ship on fire and go on the rowboat.

If I’m on the ship in the middle of the day, while the vampire is sleeping, I’m getting all the crew onto the lifeboat setting fire to the ship and paddling my way towards London The vampire king come out in the daytime, so it’s either gonna burn to death by the fire, burned to death by the sunlight, or the casket that sleeps in his going to sink to the ocean floor Either way, I win

It's easy to come up with strategies and plans when you have the benefit of hindsight.

The most reasonable solution would be to grab the Dracula's coffin using the ropes to drag it onto the deck during the day. They discovered the vampire's resting place so finding it under sunlight wouldn't be an issue and the sun would protect them from Dracula. After seeing what sun did to Orgaen it's safe to assume that Dracula would be incinerated as well. So, putting his coffin on the top deck and opening it so that the sunlight instantly hits him is the only valid solution

To be fair to the captain young boys were on sailing ships pretty regularly back then as cabin boys and captains did take their families with them occasionally so it's not like he was doing something out of the ordinary for the time.

In the 1880s it was common to have children aboard ships as cabin boys even the Royal Navy had children as able seamen those who made the cut would tra8n as Leftenants so as I said it was not stupid or uncommon of the time to have children aboard a ship.

imagine your in a bar and you see the weird creature that killed all of your friends on the ship you had been on was in the back drinking hot tea in a trench coat and top hat like "hip hip cheerio my good man"

The reason the boy was on the crew was because he had no other family yet and was basically just living with his uncle

Does it count as being a stowaway if you are shipped on board as cargo without your consent or knowledge?

Gotta love how this is set in the Mediterranean, i.e. the sea you are literally never more than a day's sail away from shore. They could have steered to port after the first night, sat out the second night in quarantine distance and torch the ship while rowing the 15 minutes to shore the next morning.

I think they should have sink the ship during the day, so Dracula would sink with it at where ever he is hiding and Dracula cannot attack either. Or during the day find his hiding spot.

This movie was alright. But had me feeling like this crew was just as allergic to the sun as Dracula. 🤦🏾‍♀️ The fact that he killed the man that tried to escape as well had me 💀😂

I personally preferred how the Netflix Dracula handled this story in episode 2. They got rid of the coffins, didn't head to land etc etc. The whole thing seemed alot smarter as a whole

Anyone else thinking they should just put the crate where he rested, in the sun and just open it so he burned?

Bring back the real cinema summary

Stones were also placed in the mouths of the ''strigoi'' suspected people before burieng them.

One of the really sad things is they ignored one of the main weaknesses of dracula the cross/rosary in the movie other then that it was a really good movie accurate in many ways and follows the original story decently but its unfortunate that when the person put up his rosary to defend himself from dracula dracula didn't repulse and scream in fear and pain and retreat somewhere to get away from it because those symbolisms where really all that could truly stop him for example if they consecrate or purify his coffin/soil in it put communion wafers on the soil and other things dracula is extremely powerful but not invulnerable he possesses many weaknesses all besides a few of it are religious based

to be fair, stake through the heart/decapitation works for pretty much everything

That vampires grin will forever haunt my dreams til I die. And I'm perfectly fine with that 🦇

13:04 Dracula book fan here, I see 2 problems with your estrategy: 1. If we are going by the book universe rules very few people know aboutthe vampires weakness, maybe since the sailor are for Romania they could no one or two superstitions, but even book Van Helsing himself wasn't really sure of wich were true and witch are not (althought the pasents living near dracula seen to know he is repelled by crosses, so maybe the woman could help there); 2. As far as I remember, the book never use garlic, but garlic flowers against the vampire and it less likely for rhe ship to have those. I haven't finished the video yet, so maybe the movie adapted some thing

Why tf did the movie end with Dracula all dressed up? 😂

So a few things. I wanna say, 1. I do enjoy all these How To Beat channels. But they're going about it all completely wrong. 2. I'd like to know what they'd do IN THAT SITUATION. The movie takes place way before internet and all our modern stuff. So they gotta remember, the woman is probably the only servant of Drac. And they still don't know what her abilities are. Yes she has a mental connection with Drac, but that just means they're connected. They don't know if he's tracking them through her, if he knows what she's always up to or anything else. So using her to track him down would probably just end in their deaths too. 3. So they're going about it all wrong if they're talking about how to beat Drac in that time, but if now. Well It's easy, modern ships have metal doors and such which Drac probably wouldn't be able to bust open. And not like they'll have water guns to load with holy water. Which holy water need to be blessed by a man of God. And garlic, I'm sure they wouldn't have enough to give around and you'll still need to be close for it to do harm towards Drac. 4. (I've been watching and writing these as I go along and I'm at 19 37) the grandfather and kid, we don't know their full story. Most likely their parents wouldn't let their kid go. It's also possible the kid ran away or the kids parents are dead. And the Grandfather probably has many years of experience to protect the kid. 5. The trap, I did absolutely no research and didn't know anything about the mind communication powers. And I knew Drac would know as well because of her.

I watched this movie whilst sick. The cool, calm and dark lighting made it a pleasant watch during my agonising migraine. It was a great movie tbh, I would love to see a sequel following Dracula building a following with that one survivor as his first (against his will), ofcourse the sequel would have a more humane form Dracula similar to past portrayals

HAVE A GOSH DAMN GOOD DAY!!!

I don’t agree with your last point about him forgetting to take shelter regardless of which the ship was gonna crash into England and he would’ve been free anyways a better option would have been to chop him in the head or the neck with the axe instead of his back

Aint no body gonna talk about the way patrovsky looked 😂😂

If he was climbing up after me I would’ve jumped off without hesitation 😂

I was stoked to see the story be adapted to a movie and I wasn’t disappointed.

I like the concept it’s like train to busan but not that lol Boat to London drag style

wait how did How to beat pin his coment an hour ago if the video was only posted 2 mins ago

EASY , during the day ...YEEEET!!!!!! Dracula in to the sea 😅

We need a part 2

Once they realize sunlight hurts the beast, they should have destroyed the roofs of of each covered area. Or... Wait until Dracula enters his crate in the morning and drag it out on to the deck and open it up

like only one of the crew members say in Huck's defense, How did he open the door & each cage? time to load the lifeboats & catch the ship a blaze at 1st light.

The way to beat this movie… once they realized it’s a damn monster they should’ve got on the lifeboats while setting the boat on fire during the day or sink it like they tried to do but during the day. That way you give him a choice either drown or fly out the water into the sun to burn either way the outcome is the same. He dies.

It’s quite simple find the other crates with the Noble house’s insignia and tie it down with enough material to make it sink and throw it overboard during the day. The vampire seems to go by the rules of needing rest in dirt from their burial place, also likely the fact that they can’t cross running water (hence having ship himself and needing to hide in dirt filled crates.) Sinking his crates during the day, he would royally screw him. Because he’s starved can’t leave his dirt behind and likely “can’t swim” so to speak.

For anyone actually thinking about scentbird. I only recommend it if you’re looking for a scent you like, the bottles for sure don’t last a month unless you are only going to spray 2 sprays lol

I have seen this movie before and it's pretty good to watch

Awesome concept .. cant believe im just finding this channel

Scent bird part had me dead i was half sleep and read 50% on how to beat off.had to wake up quickly and reread that

Toby was with his grandfather on the boat because he didnt have his parents anymore? Im pretty sure its explained when the captain talks about giving the ship over to his first mate

You remind me of the actor Adam Devine. ! Love this newly found channel!

Great Tips!!! as always... only you forgot that this is the vampire that says "its morbin time" and then morbs into the vampire form >.

Should have sunk the ship in the middle of the day, got on the lifeboat, with a decent chance of reaching land. Better than any insane plan of trying something at night.

Dracula is easy to beat assuming a few things 1st confirming you are indeed dealing with a vampire 2nd hold meetings to gather and share any info/legend about vampires 3rd don't assume any legend hold the complete truth (underestimating your target) 4th assuming any info is available take action on it 5th send his box overboard (some stories state vampires can't cross running water?) 6th check other boxes or send them over as well in case some soil was moved 7th don't share info with a girl having a physic link with the vampire (also if possible try to share as little as possible, if it can read or mess with memories) 8th decide if you are trying to survive or be heroes, if you are going the hero route turn the ship around, drop anchor, and sink it at before noon 9th be prepared to betray people or be betrayed, never know who is infected or under the creatures control/influence or might decide they would rather live at the end of the day you are still more likely to die then survive, if you have no info/legend you really don't have much of a game plan outside of observe when it hunts, if people are bitten what happens, etc... only can guess that removing the head, heart, and burning it might be effective

"If you were stuck in the middle of the ocean with an ancient vampire trying to feast on your blood, what would you do?" Simple: BUST OUT THE MARGARITAS!!!

The best content creator ever!!!

Theres still one thing that gotten into my head is that instead of the axe going for the back *go for the wings* like gobber said in httyd if it cant fly it cant get away although not a dragon but has something that can get off the boat so instead of chopping at his back use the bladed axe to chop at one of this webbed wings making him flightless and trap him to be sure he stays there

Alternate thought on Clemens' last move there: there was no way to know leaving Anna would have been a good idea, but like you said, decapitation is usually pretty solid. Rather than swing for the back, he should have listened to Thanos and gone for the head.

Love from a Vaush and DeadMeat fan!

What they should of did is dumped the cargo in the morning and let Dracula swim for it

This is a pretty clever idea to explore, since in the book what happened is left to the imagination. The execution, I withhold judgement on, since I’ve only seen this video about it.

Have a dam good day!!!!

Pls do how to beat "No smoking" It's a very interesting physiological horror of Bollywood. Give it a try.

Stakes don't kill just restrains, sunlight weakens them at best.

Never been this early to see a planner on Dracula and ways to survive... Im not complaing 😏

Just in time! Really like this movie

Pretty sure captain Elliot had his grandson with him because his daughter already passed and they both were all each other had

I would take a bunch of mirrors and angle them down the storage area so I could destroy him when I open the box

They already know where Dracula takes his Daynapp. So trough the day, they could go to his resting place, bring his "Box" (i don't remember the english Word for "Sarg" right now) out in the sunlight and cut his head off etc

Happy to see the review; i fell asleep in the movies

best channel ever made

Have a damn good day

In my school we have a demerit system and my PE teacher calls demerits demeters and I bursted out laughing when I saw the title of this video

Went out like a true G 😅😊

This is what I would do alternatively 1) Bells and whistles - I would demand the crew wear a bell around their neck or around their ankle so any distress be identified with loud clanging of the bells . I would also give each one of them a whistle that could easily be made with excess wood and metal tools .I'd also teach those who do not know how to whistle . A sailors whistle is a very shrill and easy to identify and could be heard from the cargo bows of the ship . I would advise the men to whistle should they have discovered this monster laying in wait or if they discover one of the men away from his post . And I might just set dracula's bed on fire or desecrate it just to spite him . 2) Bait - I would wait until there was no more than 2 hours left to sunrise and ask the bravest one amongst them to volunteer as bait . I would approach this with either two ways one being vietcong type punji stick traps smeared with feces and urine to guarantee an infection or I would use the 5 men as riflemen and riddle the beast with holes . I would also consider a cage like trap where the bait who is almost certain to face death would lure dracula into the cage and with that I would shut the door and hold him there at least until sunrise. 3) Spiritual aspect - If the ship's cook was religious he should have tried casting or banishing the demon to hell . In the past Jesus Christ used spiritual authority to bind and banish demons the very same authority christians have . All it would have take was faith the size of a mustard seed . 4) British Royal Navy - I would steer the ship to a known location of the royal navy and explain it to them in words that were not particularly to the likes of a lunatic . I would say that we found an "exotic rabies infected creature that comes out at night " .And I would explain the contemporary situation and use the mighty cannons the royal navy has to offer to sink this infested boat . 5) Pirates - As they were sailing through the mediterranean I would willfully sail through pirate infested waters . And once I was raided by pirates I would peacefully surrender the ship and ask for 6 days of ration and water and to allow us to leave using the lifeboats . Ever since roman times there were always a fleet of Mediterranean galleys that were raiding roman convoys and this was a frequent occurrence even in the 1800's . And I'd be doing society a favor by simultaneously reducing piracy and confining dracula in a sunny place . 6) Explosives - I would rig a certain part of the ship with all the gunpowder the ship had to offer . And I would lure dracula there and then trigger the bomb . And then I would send the entirety of the crew to finish him off with knives ,pickaxes or whatever they had left . 7) Poison - I would hand every one a glass cyanide capsule so if dracula was intent on killing one particular person . Let that person chew the cyanide and poison dracula as well or at least significantly weaken him and then clobber him to death or wait until sunrise or both .

I love it when you say well he/her fuck up

Why not just grab his box and take it up on deck. Open it in the middle of the day. That's why the box is locked in a secret way, so it can't be opened on him in the middle of the day. Don't wait until night fall before the final battle!

Look, the movie had more than a handfull of plot holes and illogical dealings but I love it. I can't explain it, it worked for me. The Dracula design was cool, I liked it and despite being animalistic in the end we still got a hint of the debonaire, charismatic count (although still looking kinda rough). I thought the scenes were well made and Dracula was sufficently creepy and threatening at the same itme. The actors I thought did well, Clemens was cool as a main protagonist, Anna was nice, the crew had a fairh share of likble personalities that you were sad to see go and the flow of events was nice. I didn't feel the movie draggin the slightest. I don't know if I can call it scary but was a damn nice moive. Shame it bombed I would've totally been on board for the hinted sequel. Perhaps I'm giving it too much credit because I absolutely love the idea of the script. First Alien but on a ship is a cool concept. 2nd Dracula's jounrey to UK is a small detail but hints at a cool set-up, one which I beleive this movie and the BBC Dracula mini-series did justice ot. And lastly the design and the way scenes were shot perfectly delivered the tone and the creepiness one would expect. Loved the movie, loved the How to BEat on it as it points out the main issues with the movie. Why didn't they come up with ane xplanation what happened durning the day and why did they keep insisting on facing Dracula at night, idk.... but in the end of the day we need to have a movie so some suspension of dissbelief is expect. We can just chalk it to them not being super sure he can't go out at light, even after seeing his victims burn in sunlight, idk.

Nice vid

Hi Everyone I love this and I hope you have a damn good day

Have a damm good day

They could've just burnt the ship in the morning and took the boat.

Take what supplies are left, make a quick raft to hold the supplies. Lower the raft and row boats during the day. Then introduce the Demeter to Mr. Molotov. Done.
