El día de la Bestia (known as The Day of the Beast in English markets) is a 1995 Spanish black comedy film directed by Alex de la Iglesia and featuring Santiago Segura and Álex Angulo.
[edit] Plot
The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest, Father Angel (Alex Angulo), a scholarly priest whose intensive research into cabalistic "Bible Code" prophecies leads to a horrific discovery: the exact birthdate of the Antichrist. A death metal salesman from Carabanchel (Segura), and the Italian host of a TV show on the occult (De Razza) help him. Convinced that Satan's spawn will be born somewhere in Madrid on Christmas Day, Father Angel embarks on a bizarre journey down the path of sin, dedicated on committing as many sins as possible in order to worm his way into the Devil's inner circle and face the ultimate foe on his own turf. They go on a literal "trip" through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.
