The Day of the Beast

Madrid, Christmas. A ringing phone. A defrocked priest decodes the Book of Revelation, finding the Antichrist's birth imminent. Teaming with a metalhead record clerk and a charlatan TV psychic, he plots to stop the coming apocalypse. De la Iglesia’s infernal comedy mixes blasphemy and slapstick.
