OVERALL: Draw
The German release has the original Spanish language track with a proper transfer and extras.
The US Anchor Bay release has an exclusive interview, but only has the English audio track.
Like many Spanish horror films from the period before General Franco's death in 1975 this exists in two versions; the "clothed" Spanish theatrical version and the "unclothed" International version.
