The Day of the Beast
The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest dedicated to committing as many sins as possible, a death metal salesman from Carabanchel, and the Italian host of a TV show on the occult. These go on a literal "trip" through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.

Too much of everything
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
About this movie... thank god one fellow of mine told me to watch this.I love gore, horror, splatter and all, combined with such a wonderful comedy. This was totally amazing and I laughed most of the time.If you like movie of this genre and like good comedy this is for you. Incredible while old. I almost choke in the beginning because the laughs.In middle of the movie I was little bored but it just got crazier, true cult classic guys!Maybe something was missing because some boredom but anyway superb movie, you don't have to watch it for more than 10 minutes and you are totally hooked.Thank you for all the cast, I didn't spend my night with some crappy crap... loll. this is one of a kind and truly underestimated.Give it at least a shot if you like this genre, most humorous I've never seen.8/10 from me.
The Day of the Beast is supposedly a comedy about the end of the world and a priest doing as much bad as he possibly can to summon the devil in order to stop the apocalypse. Basically that's what this movie is. And I will say there is enjoyment to be found in the film, but that enjoyment doesn't last nearly as much as it should. First of all I didn't really find any of the characters to be relatable. I think the fat guy that works in the record store is supposed to be the character that the audiences should feel at least remotely connected with, but it's not really the case. Even with this I was enjoying The Day of the Beast until about the last half of the film. It just feels forced and uses some filler for some reason and a lot of things don't even make sense.There is some enjoyment to be found in the Day of the Beast, but it's not enough and it doesn't hide the fact that the movie is an incoherent mess.
being a horror films fan when i went through IMDb users good rating i thought this would be a good horror movie for sure , but believe me i would like to warn all the horror fans that if u r intending to download this movie u better kick ass ... its one of the most worst horror film / film in any way and all the way .the name el DI DE la ... gives a big kindaa impression but its a hell to watch this fu****g movie . it shows nothing according its name there is no such beast and even nothing at all....i don't understand why these morons gave huge high rating and good comments ? so its a total waste of time ....... i would like to rate - 0 / 10
A Catholic priest and theologian, Father Cura, believes that he has discovered through numerical values in the bible, the exact date of the birth of the anti Christ. Believing the only way to stop this happening, is to become evil himself by doing evil deeds, he sets off on a pilgrimage around Madrid looking for a sign that will direct him in the right direction. He teams up with a Death Metal shop assistant and a TV host of a phoney paranormal show to make his meeting with Satan come about. Day of the Beast is a hotch potch of ideas that in all truth shouldn't work at all, but de la Iglesia's excellent script and dark sense of humour guides this hybrid film into the realms of a real classic. It delivers in spades in every department, the three main performances are exceptional and they spark of each other to perfection. The opening sequence is pure slapstick you might expect from someone like Benny Hill, but it sets the tone perfectly for what follows, a comedy masterpiece, that also delivers on suspense and horror
