What do these vampire tales have in common and what's the big difference? The post Why ‘Nosferatu’ Is So Similar to ‘Dracula’ appeared first on TheWrap.

The biggest difference between Dracula and Nosferatu is how both stories approach the concept of vampirism. For Dracula, the seductiveness of immortal life is depicted not just in Bram Stoker 's original novel but the dozens of adaptations that've followed in its wake.

The result is not just a fine film. It may be the best cinematic “Dracula” ever made.

While Nosferatu isn't officially an adaptation of Dracula, it's still very much a Dracula movie, and it succeeds where other Dracula flicks fail.
