Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary

Guy Maddin's take on Dracula is unique indeed. It is a silent film from 2002, and what's more, it utilises ballet as an artistic means to convey its story. I was very much impressed, especially by the scene I post here (and it seems I am not alone, as this seems to be the first hit on youtube from the film). This is the scene where Dracula turns Lucy Westenra into a vampire. A vampire, a foreigner and a lover without respect to the social norms of human relationships... I think this alone should have been enough to make him a "monster" in the Victorian era... and if it is true that in horror our deepest abolished thoughts and feelings return in a monstrous form, then Dracula is a monster of unbound lust. Depending on interpretations he may or may not have a personal charm, but he does have it in this version so nicely delivered by the body language of dancing.
