Si le fascina "El Quijote" y "La Celestina" y los cuentos de Borges, ante ustedes un reto visual que casi iguala en profundidad el ataque al mundo de los signos que hacen Cervantes, Rojas, y Borges. Amén de la complejidad textual es además pura diversión, lo que lleva al observador consciente de los muchos niveles a reír, pero a reír ante la trampa que es la vida.
Rating: - a wonderfully dark, insane romp
How does a holy man meet Satan? It's not like Satan hangs out with the righteous. When the anti-Christ visits the Earth, he'll be surrounded by sinners. Catholic priest, Padre Ángel Beriartúa (Álex Angulo) realizes this and sets out to commit an array of affronts in order to meet the anti-Christ (and destroy him).

Padre Beriartúa goes on a rampage of transgression. Rather than giving last rights to an accident victim, ... Read More
Rating: - Eschatology brings people together
The eschatological plot of The Day of the Beast, which has been sufficiently related in the synopsis, does not circumscribe it. It is a grand and generous piece of post-modern art.

By playing the ridiculousness of literal interpretations of the New Testament ... Read More
Rating: - Beautiful Master Horror Piece
Alex de la Iglesia takes one of the most scary moments in a society full of technology, absurdity, and vanity (December 31, 1999). Using this elements as a obstacle for a society to realize its lost, only a man, Padre Angel, who has dicovered the code in the bible would save the world. A aesthetically beautyful master piece, a great mise-en-scene, and an plot who would put you in the edge of your chair. The day of the Beast is more than a simple film, and more than another story of a saviour.
Rating:  - Very interesting.
I liked this movie ok, was well dubbed, of course the acting was horrid being dubbed. Honestly the film does in a way have a good story, pretty creative for the apocolypse, special effects were well, I guess ok, of the devil looking like a goat. Honestly though I think the makers of this film really thought of it to be a serious horror movie, as I thought it was just down right hilariously dumb, yet in a way entertaining. The music score of when the priest is checking out metal bands for coded messages ... Read More
