I love it because it’s one of the few dark fantasy movies natively made in Spanish. The dead fascists are a bonus.
One of my favorite details that is easy to miss if you aren’t a native speaker is that Pan speaks in medieval Spanish. It honestly almost sounds like French
I can’t find anything to really support the note about the faun speaking an early version of Spanish; do you have a link I could read/watch?
I’ve found people noting that Doug Jones is dubbed by the Spanish voice actor into Castilian (rather than any Central or South American dialect) and that his language is formal and somewhat archaic.
Looked into it a bit more. It seems it’s not exactly medieval Spanish but just old and really formal Spanish, akin to Shakespearean. Nevertheless, not something you’d hear nowadays. Everyone else just speaks with a Spaniard accent, there’s no Latin American dialects in the movie.
I remember looking up the script a little while ago. Here’s an excerpt
You will see a luxurious banquet. Don’t eat or drink any of it while you’re there
(Fwiw, I’m from Latin America so Spaniard accents all just sound weirdly posh to me, like that video of a British kid complaining about the ice cream man)

Thank you, that’s interesting to know!
