The Day of The Beast

Alex de la Iglesia's "Satanic action comedy" is one of Spain's crowning achievements in cinema. A studious Basque priest, convinced that the Anti-Christ will be born in Madrid on Christmas Day, tries to commit acts of evil in order to invoke the Devil and be present at the birth so he can kill the Beast. He enlists the help of a heavy-metal record store owner, a television celebrity who "specialises" in the paranormal, a busty hooker and hallucinogenic drugs.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a DVD of the film in Madrid (I have a VHS tape, but who has a VHS player these days?) so the postcard had to suffice.
