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

It revolves around a Roman Catholic priest dedicated on committing as many sins as possible (Angulo), a death metal salesman (Segura), and the host of a TV show on the occult (De Razza). These go on a literal "trip" through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.
