Hi
Very impressive.
Yo, this movie rocked. I'm desperate for a sequel. People are pretty critical of this movie and I think that's unfounded. Cheers for the vid mate ❤
Hi
Hi
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.
Agreed
Exactly! If they set off in the boat at sunrise the damn vamp wouldn't have been able to do jack shit about it.
God is good
wryyy…
Ha. Yeah you’re right. It’s an entertaining movie but there were many things they could have done, but then the movie would be over in 30 min
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.
Bro facts tho
I say destroy the deck of the ship letting sunlight all the way down to where Dracula was resting the open it everybody armed to kill him don't leave it up to Chance that the ship sinks preserving him from the sun in the deep water... something tells me he wouldn't drown the when nightfalls he hunts you down
@@insidethesquaredcirclewith9797Dracula can’t cross moving water
100%, they could've just explained away them not lighting it on fire by causing there to be very heavy rain or a storm so that they have to stay on the boat to survive.
He probably was flying over the boat
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
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.
Hed wake up from the box banging around kill them in the shade below deck and go back to bed. That shit is stuffed with dirt and is massive, they wouldnt be able to get it up the steps to the deck either more than likely
Ya'll have clearly never even lifted a bucket of dirt in your life which is why you somehow think dudes can manually lift crates that took a CRANE PULLEY and an entire operating crew to load ON to the ship. Sure they could scoop it out bucket by bucket. But that would likely take multiple weeks to do with 50 stacked crates assuming you can even chop up the wood to get it out of the way once empty.
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.
People were dumb back then. So their intelligence was highly accurate 😅
No. That is exactly how this movie plays out! Even when they know that Dracula is in the boat with them they do absolutely nothing during the day when drac is in his weakest state
Lol how do you think pirates got started and if the rich were rich they sent the militia after them😂😅
😂
@@rookierider2096 thats not true at all. sure they may not have as much general knowledge about stuff as we do but they were by no means dumb (there is plenty of general knowledge they had that we don't).
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.
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.
He'd have still needed a formal education to be the captain of a ship.
@@mel2000 you don't think the captain of the ship, his grandfather, isn't qualified to educate him? it's called real world experience, aka, apprenticeship, people back then believe that's an valid education
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.
I remember that episode. It was a crab monster.
Oh yeah didn't they burn down the ship in that one?
very true
Virus also had a similar issue, all they had to do was sink the boat.
I wouldn't say the people on the ship were rational in bad traveling. Last i remember they were totally game to doom the island the crab wanted to get to and Troy Baker(Don't remember the character's name) was the only one that actually had any sort of plan. But one rational crew member is still better than whatever the crew of the demeter had in mind
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.
I like how even when he’s roasting the captain he still calls him Captain Elliot. That’s some damn good respect.
I’d like to point out one thing when it comes to crucifixes. It’s not the crucifix itself that holds the power to keep evil at bay, it’s the faith behind it that gives it strength. Holding up a 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 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.
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.
Well this story is only based on the novel but not an exact copy. So the mostrous dracula they portrayed is of more bestial nature and not affected by crosses.
I don’t think the cross was pointed at him directly. Every time I remember the cross working was in direct line of sight and it being pointed at him.
This version of the fable treats Dracula's abilities less as magical powers and more as a rare alpha predator with an infectious rabies-like disease.
I rewatched the scene and the cross was pointed at him and a prayer was said. So I guess Dracula just became an atheist.
@@raptor182cmn I think the mind control, and bursting into flame in sunlight are pretty magical.
I like how this movie didn't hold back and killed the child, in most movies kids just have plot armor.
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
If Dracula died then it wouldn’t be an accurate adaptation since it’s based on the captains log in the novel so they couldn’t kill either way
Dude I just looked at the comments and you say this spoiler alert
Too bad this movie probably isn't getting a sequel. It would have been nice seeing something like van helping where Clemens serves the role of the assistant till he's killed fighting Dracula. Maybe he could damage the count, but he'd still have to die
That's cause according to original story he wasn't meant to die here but later
Imagine they make a sequel to it and call it the killings of Jack the ripper
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.
my exact plan
I'm sure a creature that can be submerged in soil with no air would have no problem just swimming under the water until night fell. He'd just be extra pissed when he came to kill you because you trashed his ride and you know how rich dudes are about having to do dirty work.
@@e.t.2914 their original plan was to sink the boat
@@neojason8349 Everything else they tried failed so there's no reason sinking their boat at any point would prove better. They could still do it of course, but there's no reason to think it would change any outcomes.
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.
Good luck beating a creature of the night, when said creature was literally said to have the strength of 20 grown men in an arm wrestling contest.
@@justasoulsfan9805 he'll challenge him on a deck in daylight
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
he is strong enough to bust through the crate if he had to. literally, there was no way to kill him. unless they found him sleeping, which they tried and failed
@@fgcpeak9591 Haven't seen the movie, so I did not know that.
Still worth a try, though
But then he would return a hundred years later with a golden time-stopping, punching ghost, after being dragged from the bottom of the sea
That would only work if he couldn't swim . Don't let you make the life or death plans. Should've moved the crate into the sun and rip it open and burn it too !! Duh
@@bethanyduffy5381 my thought exactly, say we are the only ones that would suvive in this one
*"This young man was willing to take a job that was offered to him, and that was his biggest mistake."* -How To Beat
Sometimes there’s a reason why God or the Universe close doors or reject you from certain opportunities.
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 😂
It's easy to come up with strategies and plans when you have the benefit of hindsight.
Sure, but they knew he hunts during the night and rest during the day, so whatever their plan would be, it should have happen during daytime.
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'm sure the creature that doesn't need to breathe wouldn't be bothered if it had to swim beneath the waves all day just to murder you at night in the lifeboat for trashing his ride. And its not like they could really search the boat thoroughly during the day with 6 dudes while the entire interior of the boat is both huge and dark. He can see in the dark and the best they have is lanterns. Dude could so easily just shuffle around to different spots and they'd just keep missing him. There's a reason stowaway's are a thing. You really just can hide on a big dark boat and no one will find you.
@@e.t.2914 They did find his resting place, just to ignore it. So they knew where he was during daytime. No matter what the plan should be, fight him, barricade the place, run away, sink the ship etc, it should have happen during daytime. They maybe would have failed either way, but their best chances would be during the day.
If he could just have swim under water, why did he even need the ship?
@@heww3960 I don't think he did, both him and the girl and dracula are connected and he feeds off her, I haven't seen the whole video yet but if the girl is a vampire, wouldn't that just be Dracula's endless food source? I would think he would be trying to get her back.
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😂.
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.
Assuming Dracula, who doesn't need to breathe air, wouldn't just swim under the water and murder everybody in the rowboat once night came for them ruining his travel accommodations.
Anyone remember when this channel was called Cinema Summery
I do
Ye it was quite a change I didnt know I was subscribed to "How to beat" but when I watched one video I knew it was cinema
I member
Finally a kid without plot armor
I watched this in a brightly lit room on my tablet and pretty much I just watched 2 hours of my reflection because this movie is so goddamn dark.
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
You have no idea how heavy a single five gallon bucket of dirt is. Six dudes with no crane are not moving that crate. Especially not 50 others he could just move into.
@@e.t.2914 I can agree with this to an extent. The dirt would make it almost impossible to move the box, but what they could have done was slowly move it over by any mean to where sunlight can go inside the coffin break open the area more for the sunlight to be on full blast. After doing that, if they did it fast enough for sunlight to still be up, the crew could have lit the ship on fire before opening the coffin and GTFO. Dracula would have nowhere to go and his only choice is to burn along with the ship.
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.
My point exactly i couldnt remember where they set sail from i assumed they either in the Mediterranean or are the worst sailors ever making a 3 day trip out of the english channel 😂
Watch the fucking movie. The entire trip takes nearly a month. At that point nothing seemed "wrong" and they were getting signfigantly more payment if they arrived on time.
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
What’s the Netflix Dracula called
@@TerryP3 Just 'Dracula'
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
Movie just gets stupid.burning the ship at daylight is a no brainer.
Ya'll really think the vampire that doesn't need to breathe air wouldn't just jump in the water and swim beneath the lifeboat all day until the sun goes down and he can murder everyone on the lifeboat?
Canonically, Dracula cannot swim
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.
What if he sinks can't drown because he doesn't need air...then hunts you at nightfall?
@@insidethesquaredcirclewith9797 I assumed he can drown since that was their plan but they wanted to sink the ship at night. They prob also be far away by night time to o if they sink it during the day..
If not they could try hunt him down during the day and make the cargo area all lighted by breaking it etc since they already decided to sink the ship.
My point was to try do the stuff during the day and not confront him during the night.
@@insidethesquaredcirclewith9797 : The girl stated he was part man and part animal. No claim of invulnerability to drowning.
The reason the boy was on the crew was because he had no other family yet and was basically just living with his uncle
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"
Yeah, thats because he looks like a typical Englishman....
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
Well, the 1990’s movie with Gary Oldman could be called a sequel. This movie details Dracula’s journey to England before he sees Mina, so that would make this movie a prequel.
Bro How tf you watched it. Migraine makes me temporarily blind.
Stones were also placed in the mouths of the ''strigoi'' suspected people before burieng them.
Anyone else thinking they should just put the crate where he rested, in the sun and just open it so he burned?
I mean rational but risky since it starts below deck, if we want them to be competent have to make Dracula be as well, id assume hed wake up kill them go back to bed. The most reasonable is just to burn the ship down and get in the row boat while the sun is up. He’ll either burn in his box or fly out to the sun.
Stakes don't kill just restrains, sunlight weakens them at best.
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
Bring back the real cinema summary
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
Maybe the captain lost his faith so it didn’t work
@FBIagentnumber47 almost all retellings get rid of atleast some weaknesses just because there are so many of them
Do periods and commas sacred you? Are they your garlic? Your Rosari? Your kryptonite?
@RandomMackem3247 that's the most likely answer, as the faith behind the cross is what truly scares Dracula and gives it the power to harm him.
God is good
to be fair, stake through the heart/decapitation works for pretty much everything
In modern times it's the wood chipper
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.
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
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.
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
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
How to beat Return of the Living Dead. "Don't open the tank" is not an option, your just in town when it goes off.
lol 😂They should've turned his coffin upside down
and stacked all the heavy cargo crates on top of him.
That's just 1 .."We tried" scenario.
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
I was stoked to see the story be adapted to a movie and I wasn’t disappointed.
I have seen this movie before and it's pretty good to watch
Love from a Vaush and DeadMeat fan!
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 understand where you are coming from but the movie shows proof that they burn in daylight. Before the final showdown, they've had 2 people die from burning after they turned. They found his crib at night "when he was out hunting". They never see him during the day. As a result, a doctor who graduated from Cambridge University and probably had to work harder than the other students in order to graduate, should absolutely be able to connect the dots that sunlight hurts/kills them. As a result, they could figure out a way to use that to their advantage.
The movie takes an approach of a "biological" monster that cannot be hurt by Christianity and they know this. The cook literally died while doing nothing but praying all the time. The boat comes back with blood all over the bible so they'd know that. Plus in the final scene, (which credit to them, they wouldn't know because the battle happens before that), the captain dies while trying to turn back Dracula with a crucifix.
Lastly, the "mental connection" was such a stupid point. It wasn't even alluded to until the final battle happened and had zero impact on the plot anyways. Dracula killed the guys in the crows nest first, then the captain, then attacked Colman, then attacked the chick with the "connection". It was like the writers of the show just added that point to make their terrible plan seem like it might work "but oh no! Fog rolled in. Plan won't work. Shoot!".
Not sure why they made the kid the captain's grandkid and added zero backstory. He was only there to form a connection with the main character so that he'll "feel something" when he died.
@@certifiedredditgenius Yeah the Christianity thing didn't work but the thing is they didn't know that, for all they knew he probably went out trying to fight them. Not saying it should've worked because each movie can say what they want.
And the fire thing, yes it's best to assume that and they were right so. But lot of people probably would've assumed or thought he was like a bat or some other predator that hunts during the night. So if anything they should've just thrown out the stranger boxes and lit them on fire and tossed them overboard. That way if the fire doesn't kill him the sun would. Or just load whatever cargo on to the safety rafts and burn the boat.
As for the Grandfather and kid, obviously I never lived back then and without doing any research, I'm sure that probably happened a few times. A caption bringing his kid or grandkid with him to travel. Which some might use the fact the kid wasn't afraid (and if the movie showed if the kid knew the boat or crew well enough).
@bernardolopez5306 either way, I think we can agree that the way it WAS handled was dumb lol. Wouldn't be a horror movie without it though
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.
Right, confirm the kill! 😂
If there's anything people can learn from horror movies of any kind: make sure the bad thing or entity, is completely gone before you move on to the next chapter of whatever lol I'd never put my back to something supernaturally evil or alike, until they're 'dead' in some capacity, and in pieces, or completely disentegrated. Like, I'd wait to see all of it in ashes, then scatter the ashes in different places as far as I can travel til I'm comfortable and able to 'move on' from that type of ordeal 😂
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.
if they just threw the dirt overboard it would have solved their Dracula problem.
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.
Great Tips!!! as always... only you forgot that this is the vampire that says "its morbin time" and then morbs into the vampire form >.
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 .
1: Decent idea, but Dracula is very intelligent and it would only last 1-2 times.
2: Once again, intelligent. And 2 hours? It can literally kill them at any time.
3: Dracula isn't a demon, he a monster. In the original tale he was weakened by crosses. This version has no such weakness.
4: Oh good, now Dracula has thralls with guns.
5: Dracula takes place in 1897. Piracy in the Mediterranean had all but stopped after the destruction of the Barbary states in 1830 and even if they found of the very few left they would have just a good of a chance because Dracula is a monster that can only be beaten when in a weakened state. Plus, pirates usually do not want confrontation and rather they try to get surrender by intimidation.
6: Once again, very intelligent.
7: Dracula is not human. In the original story he is already dead. Plus, would a bunch of traders have cyanide on them?
The best way to beat Dracula is to find where he sleeps and attack him in the day, just like what was done in the original book. Open them up and dump every crate into the ocean. Burn the ship in the daytime. Do not let anyone else get involved because that's more bodies and potential thralls. Worse case scenario find a small remote island and scuttle the ship on it. Everyone will probably die, but Dracula with either burn in the flames, by the sun in this version, or die from lack of blood supply.
@@VariaBug Response to No 2) This dracula is more of an animal than a human . Notice how he attacks only when he notices one of the crewmen by themselves or in solace. He may be intelligent but he is a slave to his instinct and appetite.
Response 4) In 1897 not much was know about several species. I don't see how dracula could make a thrall of a naval soldier. It would be believable. In the morning the group should have armed forces at their disposal searching for dracula while he sleeps . In the event he isn't found they could simply burn the ship down . But there is strength in numbers . I would calculate it with a course reaching the Royal Navy only in the morning sun . Otherwise he would move onto them .
5) It is worth an attempt. This dracula fellow resembles a demon and resembles the likeness of one . And some of his strengths are nearly supernatural.
6) being intelligent is no immunity to traps .
5) Pirates in their territorial waters don't mind a fight . And it'd be an easy option .
7) Well that's true cyanide was scarce but some ships had them if they were captured.
Overall your idea was smart to maroon the ship on a tiny island but it would also be a death sentence to the crew and even throwing crates out guarantees death because they would be throwing out rations,medicine and goods which could incur a penalty if accused of theft by the owners .
@@indoroyale78482. Dracula still showed higher level thought. And and picking out one by one plus how he acted in the end shows that he isn't as much an animal as you may think. Plus we do not know how much Dracula needs to feed.
4. Its shown that a single bite can turn a person into a thrall/proto-vampire. Also the Captain was influenced like Renfield but that wasn't as powerful. Plus it is stated that Dracula does not fear guns and the crew was taken out at the end. Plus. This isn't the modern day. You can't calculate a course to a Navy ship without either knowing one is there or being in direct sight, AKA most likely well within Dracula's flying range. Also, the most likely place to find another ship would be by a port, aka a town with a bunch of ships that would make this whole situation start all over.
3. In the time period they would make the attempt, but in hindsight facing Dracula in this way is foolish as its shown he doesn't have supernatural weaknesses like his original version. Only sunlight.
6. Makes it pretty damn hard to trap him though. The only time Dracula was immobilized was with the mast and that was an accident. Also, the interior of the ship has very little sunlight. And I would not bet on Dracula needing to sleep. So unless I have UV lamps or Solar Simulators the area is the dead zone that I want no part of.
5. Pirates generally don't have territorial waters, they go were the money is. In this time period Piracy was mainly focused in Asia. Pirates act like Predators, they don't go after things that are armed and they don't want a fight because they could die or even worse, be caught. Privateers might go after bigger fish as they are engaging in asymmetrical warfare, but Pirates are in it for money, not dying.
Also, your dealing with a monster, the natural predators for humans, on a small boat in the middle of the ocean. And in this situation, you have nobody who knows about Vampires. In the original book the only issue was the health of Lucy and Mina after their attacks. But overall they had many more options plus the closest thing to an expert with Van Helsing. Here, Dracula wants to go to London. You can't beat him, you can't negotiate with him, and once he gets what he wants you going to be a meal either way. At that point living though it is a miracle and should not be expected. The only thing you could reasonably do is either delay or better yet outright stop Dracula from reaching a population center, especially one as like London with a large population of "undesirables" littering the streets and ghettos. You could have a vampiric plague depending if the thralls are proto-vampires and can turn people themselves, or how long it takes a thrall to become a true vampire. The goal is not for you to win, its for Dracula to lose.
All these ideas would fail because they rely on assumptions about what can kill Dracula and just like the crew in this movie, everything they did didn't work, what makes you believe that there would be a chance to pull off any of these ideas successfully? You think Dracula hasn't been around long enough to guess people's dumbass plans and not account for it?
@@e.t.2914 Well it's either this or death . I'd choose the latter
Regarding bringing 8 year olds onboard. That was EXCEEDINGLY common. Both in merchant vessels and in navies all around the world. Shipsboys would do all sorts of tasks.
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
This plot is similar to Dracula the 3 part series that got canceled in 2020. In the last episode Dracula was voyaging to London and picking off people one by one, exactly like in this movie!
19:55 Letting Dracula hang out around the ship out of fear of losing men in the process of hunting him is stupid. The longer he lives the more people will die until nobody's left, so do they really have any other option?
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.
Why would a creature that doesn't need to breathe air not just swim underneath the lifeboat all day until he can come out and kill them at night? You get the benefit of thinking your solution is better but don't have to face the reality that your idea would fail just the same as theirs.
@@e.t.2914 guess what..who cares.
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
What they should of did is dumped the cargo in the morning and let Dracula swim for it
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
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
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
Aint no body gonna talk about the way patrovsky looked 😂😂
Back then, Transylvania was in Hungary, not Romania
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.
I like the concept it’s like train to busan but not that lol Boat to London drag style
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.
If he was climbing up after me I would’ve jumped off without hesitation 😂
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.
Went out like a true G 😅😊
We need a part 2
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 love it when you say well he/her fuck up
Captain: "Stay armed and work in teams of two."
Also Captain: Leaves kid alone inside the dark ship unarmed.
It also frustrated me how neither Anna nor Clemens aimed for Dracula's head when his back was turned. Seems rather obvious even if you're not familiar with vampires. The captain also said that he would steer the ship out to sea, why didnt he do that then and there and allow the others to leave on the lifeboat?
wait how did How to beat pin his coment an hour ago if the video was only posted 2 mins ago
Magic 😉
@@HowToBeatYT wha-
They probably made the comment while the video was private
Hey wait a minute you have a point there
Editors, friends, or sending it to others to see what they think of it first and point out any errors
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!
How they gonna lift the crate bub? Do you know how heavy just a five gallon bucket of dirt weighs? It took a crane to get the crates on so how would they get it out? Because if they open it in the dark to start scooping dirt out in buckets(assuming Dracula is a dumbass who wouldn't have already moved into one of the 50 other crates whenever he felt) Dracula would just come out and eat their dumbasses.
I'm pretty sure the Demeter left from Bulgaria, and those weren't Romanians but Gypsies, as in the original lore Gypsies were Dracula's servants
Pls do how to beat "No smoking"
It's a very interesting physiological horror of Bollywood.
Give it a try.
HAVE A GOSH DAMN GOOD DAY!!!
EASY , during the day ...YEEEET!!!!!! Dracula in to the sea 😅
Does it count as being a stowaway if you are shipped on board as cargo without your consent or knowledge?
Technically no.
You're considered to be a victim of people smuggling or human trafficking.
However if you actively hide yourself from detection then it changes to being a stowaway.
Also I don't think they cared about the difference in the time period where this was set haha
Awesome concept .. cant believe im just finding this channel
I wonder if most of people commenting here actually watched the movie. It's been a few months since I did but i'll try to explain things:
After the first kills, the crew didn't want to stop and go back to land because there was some sort of financial incentive to reach London as soon as possible
These people weren't dumb. They litterally had a doctor on board. However keep in mind the story is happening before vampires got popular. We can assume most people didn't know much about the entire vampire lore, plus the crew wasn't from the country, they didn't know anything about Dracula before the girl woke up, and even with her help I don't think she knew that much about the creature's power to tell them how to fight it.
Searching the boxes after they found the half dead girl was a very good idea, but remember, the ship had financial incentive to reach London fast. Prolly Dracula himself promised more money if they arrived before a certain date. It wouldn't be a reach to suppose that the Captain was firmly ordered not to touch the more sus looking boxes.
And finally, they only got confirmation of Dracula's existence after he himself had drunk enough blood to be strong enough kill them all and had secured a safe hiding place in the boat. He technically can shapeshift into smaller animals, so he could easily hide in the smallest corner of the boat. And in his original form I'm fairly sure at that point he could solo the rest of the crew, even if they ganged on him. It was strong, huge, could fly. I don't see any way for the humans to win against it tbh.
Theres the idea to sink the ship or burn it down in the daylight... now I can't exactly remember if it was specifically mentioned in the movie, but one of Dracula's power is to manipulate the weather. I think he was the cause of the mist surounding the boat when the cook tried to flee on the lifeboat. If they decided to sink the ship, Dracula could easily create a storm or some shit and kill the fire, or maybe create a mist thick enough to block the sunlight, giving him enough time to still kill everyone on board before they could do anything.
So in conclusion, everything was playing against the crew. They were just regular people working for a paycheck, didn't have any knowkledge on vampires we modern people have, they didn't have plot armor, they were completely isolated from the rest of the world with a creature that was too strong for them to beat.
"Orders that they go everywhere as teams of two" IMMEDIATELY after the creature attacked two men at once, killing one and injuring the other and driving him insane showing that teams of two are useless against the creature
Happy to see the review; i fell asleep in the movies
Never been this early to see a planner on Dracula and ways to survive...
Im not complaing 😏
Tossing Draculas coffin off the side of the boat mid trip probably would have also messed with him pretty badly.
2:07 lol it's called a galley.
Yesterday I went shopping and I saw this movie's DVD but didn't buy it sadly cuz I wanted FNAF instead lol
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
You think Dracula wouldn't just move into one of the other 50 crates whenever it was convenient for him?
