The film's dominant themes align with progressive values, primarily through its explicit challenge to racist anxieties and stereotypes via Dr. Clemens' character, its critique of religious faith, and its emphasis on humanist duty and social commentary.
The movie incorporates diversity through the casting of a Black lead in a role traditionally depicted as white, which is a notable departure from the source material. The narrative subtly addresses racial prejudice faced by this character, reflecting social barriers of the era, though these themes are not the film's primary focus.
The film portrays Christian faith as failing to protect the crew from evil and highlights the hypocrisy of a devout character. Prayers are depicted as futile, and the narrative suggests a sense of divine abandonment, leading to a negative depiction of the religion's efficacy and moral impact within the story.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The film is a horror story centered on a ship's crew battling a vampire, with its narrative solely focused on survival and supernatural elements. Consequently, there is no portrayal of the LGBTQ+ community to evaluate.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film's main characters, including Clemens, Anna, Captain Eliot, and Dracula, are portrayed with the same genders as established in their canonical source material, with no instances of on-screen gender changes.
The film adapts Bram Stoker's Dracula, where the races of characters like Clemens and Joseph were not specified in the source material. Anna is a new character created for the film. Therefore, the casting of actors of diverse ethnicities for these roles does not meet the definition of a race swap, which requires a character to be canonically established as one race and then portrayed as another.
