Synopsis

A cabalistic study of the Bible reveals to a Basque priest that the antichrist will be born on Christmas Day in Madrid. Helped by a heavy-metal fan and a showman of an esoteric TV program, the priest must invoke the devil to find out the evil spawn’s place of birth and then kill it.

MUBI's take

The Christmas movie gets a diabolically satirical spin with this apocalyptic horror-comedy from Spanish director Álex de la Iglesia. With wonderful performances from its central trio of misfits, The Day of the Beast playfully updates the nativity story for a wickedly entertaining cult classic.
