Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

Completely different to the stereotypical Dracula film, this relies heavily on seeing the events unfold as someone who would really be there. There are uncertainties, crossed realities, confused moments with horrific monsters and undead who-knows-what in there just because its mentally offputting to look at. 

And that's what this film does well, it really knocks you out of your seat in terms of "Oh, it's him, the bad guy... Let's stake him at the end" - it takes a stance of "What is really going on here?" 

The creepiest? Definitely feeding a baby to those horrific horny old witch crones.
