Cool Spanish Version Of Dracula 1931

I looked back at this one recently, and still enjoy it very much. Aside from a Spanish cast and it taking place in then modern times for back when it first came out, it basically tells the same story as the one with Bela Lugosi. It does get into more detail on Renfield's backstory from before he was put under Dracula's spell, to develop the character a bit better. The cast and crew did just as equally a good job as the English cast, making it just as equally enjoyable as the English version with Bela Lugosi. The actors and actresses also played and brought out their roles in their own original ways, and did not try to imitate the English cast at all, keeping this version good, unique, and original, as well as holding up on its own. One big mistake a lot of remakes and alternate versions have made is when the cast and crew tried to mimic the original cast and crew, with that being one of the main things that messed their version up, which is not the case at all for this version. Those who like the version with Bela Lugosi should enjoy this one as well if they can understand Spanish or if they don't mind subtitles.
