10 Best Vampire Movies Of The 2000s

10. Dracula: Pages From A Virgin's Diary (2002)

Starting off on the most experimental and risky end of the spectrum, this 2002 horror from Guy Maddin takes the classic story of the world's most famous bloodsucker and turns the whole thing into a silent, black-and-white ballet.

Mimicking the silent film era with title cards, blurry cameras and old fashioned effects, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary is the most daring and introspective look at the famous vamp's tale.

Touching on themes not seen before with the story, such as sexism and xenophobia, and sporting a continuous poetic tone which makes the horror of the movie's events appear almost dream-like and morose, it's an obsessive, brilliantly filmed and beautifully choreographed movie which may be off-putting to many casual audiences.

Rest assured though that regardless of what you're after from a vampire flick - be it terror, violence, romance or surreal happenings - then this Dracula has got all that you could possibly want and more.

Having all of these traits and balancing them into a startling love letter to the silent film era and the vampire genre, it's also a rare refreshing take on a story people know all too well, and it's an absolute joy to see.
