The Day Of The Beast

1995

Álex de la Iglesia

Avant-Garde, Comedy, Action, Horror, Must-See, Scary, Thriller, Paranormal, Christmas

Bent on committing as many sins as possible to avert the birth of the beast, a Catholic priest teams up with a Black Metal aficionado and an Italian connoisseur of the occult. Now, he must become an unrelenting sinner. Is there still hope?

This Spanish film is easily one of the best Christmas Horror films, a Devil movie, a setting and atmosphere reminiscent of 'Basketcase' (1982).
You will need subtitles if you aren't fluent in Spanish.
The film is hilarious, great clever dialogue and lots of laughs.
Madrid Spain in the 90's is half the entertainment, a fascinating look into the world of the past.
The characterization is excellent, and so is the menacing score.
We love the unorthodox but satisfactory ending.
Directed by Álex de la Iglesia, a veteran Spanish director that sadly hasn't made more horror movies.
Features Álex Angulo, Armando De Razza, Santiago Segura, Terele Pávez, Nathalie Seseña, Maria Grazia Cucinotta, and others.
Trigger warnings: drug use, black face, forcible confinement, and burning someone alive.
