The Day of the Beast is a 1995 Spanish black comedy horror film in which the coming of the Antichrist and the end of the world seem imminent. A Catholic priest teams up with a Black Metal aficionado and an Italian connoisseur of the occult to avert this prophecy.
Directed by Álex de la Iglesia (The Bar; Witching and Bitching; The Last Circus; The Oxford Murders; Perdita Durango) from a screenplay co-written with frequent collaborator Jorge Guerricaechevarría.
