The film Nosferatu directed by Werner Herzog is based off of the book by Bram Stoker, coincidentally also based on the story of Vlad the Impaler. This film follows the books plotline very well and can also be compared to other films of its kind and genre. Another movie based on Dracula was released in 1992 by the director Francis Ford Coppola who also directed the film Apocalypse Now. Another thing that is weird about these two directors is that they have both directed a film about Vietnam and both done a remake of the book by Bram Stoker. Although each Dracula film follows parts of the book neither is alike when it comes to the ending. The Herzog film shows the main character powerless in the end and eventually he takes the place of Dracula. But in the Coppola film he fights back against Dracula and eventaully aids in his demise.
