from what made the final cut. When asked about the protagonists’ embrace at the end and whether it turned out to be a good conclusion to the story, Eggers said that this had always been the plan. “Even as I was struggling to figure out the blocking of Orlok’s demise, that final shot was always going to be the final shot,” Eggers told. “It’s nice to have our own version of the ‘Death and the Maiden’ motif. I think it looks pretty nice.”
However, there was more to the scene than what was shown in the final film, something that Eggers said initially was ““Well, if you look very closely at that shot, Orlok is still bleeding out of his eyes, ears and nose,” he said. “There are some maggot holes in his back.
