The Day of the Beast	comment	The Day of the Beast (or El Día de la Bestia in the original Spanish) is a 1995 Spanish Action Horror-Comedy film.Father Ángel Berriatúa is a Basque Catholic priest and professor of Theology who, after studying St. John's Apocalypse for 25 years, has discovered that Horror Doesn't Settle for Simple Tuesday: according to a secret code he believes to have found in the Bible, The Antichrist will be born in Madrid on Christmas and will turn it into the "Day of the Beast", bringing The End of the World as We Know It. In his quest, Ángel teams up with the Heavy Metal fanatic José María and Professor Cavan, the Italian host of a hit TV show about the Occult, in order to find the Antichrist and stop him before it's too late.The film was the Breakthrough Hit for Basque director Álex de la Iglesia and his lifelong screenwriter Jorge Guerricoechevarría (their first collaboration, Mutant Action, only achieved cult film status among De la Iglesia's fans), as well as a Star-Making Role for Santiago Segura (José María), who would go on to create the Torrente film series.Together with Tesis (released the following year), The Day of the Beast can be considered a Genre Turning Point for the whole of Spanish cinema, as it was a clinching counterexample to the "Common Knowledge" of the time that Spanish filmmakers only made low-brow comedies or porn disguised as Le Film Artistique. Here was proof that there was a new generation not afraid of exploring genres like Action, Horror, contemporary satire, using special effects and modern pop culture references, in summation making films intended to be entertaining. As such, this film particularly heralds the Spanish Fantasy-Horror boom of the early 21st century exemplified by films like [REC], Pan's Labyrinth, and The Orphanage.

The original trailer shows Rosario's death, but considering it also shows Cavan's much more dramatic and fatal looking fall yet he survives it, one could pass her death as a simple display of the film's violent Amusing Injuries moments.

The three characters' reaction to someone banging on the door (which they think is Satan, whom they have summoned themselves) is to flee through the window and climbing down a giant neon sign. José María in particular becomes Too Dumb to Live, trying to jump to his death while laughing his ass off and eventually causing Cavan to fall.

Later, Rosario catches Ángel while taking the blood of an unconscious Mina with a syringe and attacks with her shotgun and bare hands.

The Day of the Beast / int_eb9afb9d	comment	Evil Old Folks: Rosario is a paranoid racist and classist that hits her son José María, actively wishes for troublemakers to come to her property so she can shoot them, and has not sent her father to a care home only because of said son's opposition (according to him, anyway). When she dies, José María doesn't mind it much.

The Day of the Beast / int_f12c6fb1	comment	Surprisingly Sudden Death: Played for Laughs. The priest Ángel talks to in the opening scene warns that they must watch their step even inside the church because their enemy is very powerful, it could kill them quickly and may have heard them... and a huge decorative cross promptly falls down squashing him like a bug.
