A Catholic priest believes that the world will go under when the antichrist will be born on Christmas day. So he has decided to become an evil man so he can kill the antichrist and prevent the world from going under. And on his journey, he will get help from two other men.
This was the second time I watched The Day of the Beast, and I liked it more now than the first time I watched it. I love the black comedy in this movie. The movie has its dark moments towards the end. But before that, we get to see many funny scenes. The Day of the Beast is a black comedy that mixes a little violence, blood, and murder.
It’s impossible not to be charmed by the priest and his strange friends. The universe is small, but the movie gets a lot out of the strange situations that arise when the three men are out to save the world.
The highlight is when the priest gets beaten up by a woman! He gets a real beating! She is one crazy woman, and I could hardly believe what I saw. What a fantastic sequence!
I have to praise Álex Angulo, who plays the priest. He’s so cute with his innocent facial expressions. His whole long opening sequence when he does evil things to innocent people is amazing to watch. When things go wrong, you just have to laugh at his facial expressions. Especially the scene when he gets the beating of his life by the crazy woman, and he runs down the stairs. It’s so funny!
I don’t think there are many movies like The Day of the Beast. I’ve watched some of the movies that the director has made. And I’m going to watch his movies that are worth watching that I haven’t watched yet. This is a movie director who stands out in the crowd. He makes some weird, entertaining movies.
