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.

Note: This article contains spoilers for every version of "Nosferatu" and several "Dracula" films. If Robert Eggers' "Nosferatu" is your first introduction to the lesser-known vampire tale, you may be surprised how similar it is to Bram Stoker's "Dracula.

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.
