The Day of the Beast

Heaving read scripture he believes foretells the imminent birth of the Antichrist, a Basque priest (Álex Angulo) goes on an outrageous spree of sinning in Madrid, hoping for access to the unholy event--so he can put a stop to it. As he pulls a death metal-loving record store clerk (Santiago Segura) and a phony TV psychic (Armando De Razza) into his toils, he might find what he’s looking for...to his everlasting regret, in Álex de la Iglesia’s darkly funny horror opus. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; bonus short "Mirindas Asesinas" (1990); making-of documentary; featurettes; theatrical trailers. Two-disc set. In Spanish with English subtitles.
