ItalyLanguage Spanish Budget $1,500,000 The Day of the Beast (Spanish: 'El día de la Bestia') is a 1995 Spanish black comedy film directed by Álex de la Iglesia and featuring Santiago Segura and Álex Angulo.
Plot
The Puerta de Europa towers are said to be shaped as a diabolical signature and the place of birth of the Antichrist.
The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest dedicated to committing as many sins as possible (Angulo), a death metal salesman from Carabanchel (Segura), and the Italian 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.
