Bram Stoker's Dracula is a brilliant movie. But the idea of someone generations later and unrelated being a duplicate of the woman he loved, man, that is hokey.
And the romance was insulting. He fed a baby to his 'brides'. He raped and murdered her best friend. But now we feel sympathy because Drac's heart is going pitter pat? That bugged me the first time I saw the movie.
I understand that without it, maybe the movie would have felt hollow. But ick.
