Austria for three cuts of the film and more extras while Spain has English subtitles.
GENERAL NOTES:
There are three primary versions:
- the Spanish domestic cut (~91 minutes) lacking onscreen gore and nudity but including a scene in which the resurrection of the Blind Dead is motivated by the hunchback's sacrifice of a local girl;
- an integral cut (~92 minutes) including the gore, nudity, and scenes specific to the Spanish version (this was the version submitted to international rights rights owner Atlas International to tailor to different markets);
- the export version (~88 minutes) in which the Templar sacrifice was moved to the start of the film - creating a continuity error with the pre-credits sequence of the villagers blinding the knights and some shots from that sequence in the flashback - and missing the hunchback's sacrifice of the local girl. -
