Nosferatu 2024 - Potential Spoilers

But... she didn't know what to do... she hadn't read the book where it stated how to kill him. So it makes no sense. And Willem's character barely told her about it... just that she was the key... so... how the F did she know what to do?

And why the F was it written in Knock's secret book how to kill the vampire? Pretty effing dumb to write that in a dark forces worship book.

It made more sense in the old movies where it was the villagers who gave Hutter the book and she found and read it when he came home and made the decision on her own.

Another thing... that village or inn Hutter came to in the beginning... did anyone else get the feeling that the staking didn't work and that's why they were all gone the next day, because the vampire killed them all? And if Orlok's reach was that strong... the reason Hutter found himself back in bed was likely because the vampire knew Orlok wanted him safe. Otherwise... what was the reason for them being all gone?

My interpretation was Orlok himself killed the townspeople for hunting the vampire and left Hutter because he needed him.

My interpretation was she realized that she was responsible for waking Orlok and was likely key to be the one to put him back where he belonged, but wasn't sure. Dafoe's Von Franz(?) pretty much lays it out to her in that one long scene on the stairs near the end that there's really no good end for her, so I assume she just figured it out from there since he pretty much just told her she's a modern-day (of the 1820's) shaman priestess. It's certainly a clumsy way of conveying that information, yes, but, again, that's one of my issues with the movie overall and it's the structure of things.

I didn't get that at all. I don't know why the Romani camp is stopped there at all considering everyone in the village was telling everyone that Orlok lived beyond the mountains and plagues the land with evil. The only people that actually stayed was the Orthodox church/nunnery so maybe the settlement was just to support them. My best guess was that the Romani gypsies had enough and just left the next day after the ritual was done. I wasn't really looking for answers in that one. I'm all for when Eggers does something and doesn't feel the need to explain it; it's all just for creating an odd and unsettling atmosphere and that's how I took it.

Yeah... but she knew nothing about vampires, like in the earlier versions where she read about them in the book that Hutter got from the small townspeople and brought back home with him. In this one she just magically knows. A little far fetched.

Not only the gypsies were gone. Also the inn keepers. Everyone. It wouldn't be weird if the inn keepers were still there.
