The Day of the Beast

This is my second favourite move of all times. It almost surpassses beatlechus. It is dark funny dirty and real in all senses, it makes the best xmass movie ever,

A friend of mine recommended this movie, and I thought it would be good taking the reviews into consideration, but I'm here at almost midnight to say: don't waste your time. I have seen many horror movies, this one is really as a review said: You start with The live by John Carpenter, and you have the Exorcist, The Omen, The texas Chainsaw Massacre and some other thing I may not have noticed, but it's a mixture of a lot of horror movies. Some people may think it's fun, I didn't... Some people may think it's black humor, but I have seen better movies, like Dead Snow. Well... i don't have anything good to talk about in this movie :(. Time wasted on three clowns trying to find where the devil will be born.

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

Alex de la Iglesias Story of the Antichrist to come starts quite funny and while you continue watching the movie and enjoying the jokes the movie becomes more and more serious. At some point the laughs are staying in you throat because you realize then this was not a joke. Even the father (main caracter of the movie) will feel it. Incredible great movie that, I must say just saw much too late after its release. But since then I am a Alex de la Iglesia Fan... Watch this movie if you are into horror, funny, strange movies ... you will not regret it. Masterpiece here 10/10.

But unfortunately only somewhat. In trying to be horrific and funny, the movie stays squarely in the middle of both without really succeeding in either. A few scenes stand out, especially in the beginning when the priest begins trying to turn evil, and at the end with the appearance of Satan, but the middle section of the movie simply does not go far enough to really be satisfying. Well worth watching, mostly since I doubt we'll see anything like this again, but don't go into it with high expectations.

I thought this was a very well done movie even though it had one of those disjointed plots that are so common with European flicks,(the ending had me totally confused). I thought that the dubbing was well done and the movie was quite nice to look at. There was also a death scene that came right out of nowhere and kind of reminded me of something out of a Dario Argento film. I would give this movie 3 stars. ***

I somehow expected this movie to be hard and dark, but it turned out to be a comedy, which seriously lacks humour. Therefore the bestial scenes of the movie are terrible, with the antichirist at the end, and so is the humour which just can't make you laugh. If you like to watch a confused priest, who wants to act funny and prevent the apocalypse to happen then maybe this is your movie, but definitely not the movie for me :P My personal opinion is that this movie really sux, and i had to write that down, because i saw the ratings here on the movie and expected something good. BTW: I also know the heavy metal scene in Madrid and death metal concerts never looked like this! :D
