The Day Of The Beast - 1995 - 7/10
AKA - El Día de la Bestia

Three wise men (or foolish) realize the anti-Christ is about to be born.
Somewhere in Madrid. They vow to stop this before Hᴉs reign begins.
One of many religious themes that suffuse this riotous black comedy.
Father Ángel, a theoretician priest, works out the precise date of birth.
Two others are drawn into his quest.
This spoofs death metal, black magic, TV hoaxers (Caván appears based on the Stupendous Yappi).
One joke, one gag after another, humor from laugh out loud to mean spirited.
Those who have thumbed the Bible, those who attended Sunday school, may catch subtleties.
Likewise those steeped in Catholicism. Not mandatory, though. This is a blast!
