Drácula 1931

On the one hand this version is shot and paced much more competent than its English counterpart. At the save time the other version has the better actors. None of them are perfect but I think the Spanish version is overall more entertaining.

Although the English and Spanish version should not be different, but the truth is that the Spanish version is much better. First, the movie lasts half an hour longer, and they are not leftover scenes.

One of the first differences is that in the English version Renfield is not seen during the car trip to Dracula's castle. Later, Renfield cuts his finger with the papers that Dracula must sign. In the Spanish version we can see the fear in Renfield's face during the trip to the castle and then, he cuts the finger with the knife when he is cutting the bread and quickly approaches the finger to see the cut, however, Dracula tries to approach, but quickly he see the crucifix.

Another notable difference is that we can see the metal bars of the asylum window are bent in the Spanish version. The ship scene and theater scene are more complete too. Finally, in the English version, Dracula uses a knife to kill Renfield, but in the Spanish version he strangles him.
