Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Gustavo Schroeder A The Day of the Beast is supposedly a comedy about the end of the world and a priest doing as much bad as he possibly can to summon the devil in order to stop the apocalypse. Basically that's what this movie is. And I will say there is enjoyment to be found in the film, but that enjoyment doesn't last nearly as much as it should. First of all I didn't really find any of the characters to be relatable. I think the fat guy that works in the record store is supposed to be the character that the audiences should feel at least remotely connected with, but it's not really the case. Even with this I was enjoying The Day of the Beast until about the last half of the film. It just feels forced and uses some filler for some reason and a lot of things don't even make sense.There is some enjoyment to be found in the Day of the Beast, but it's not enough and it doesn't hide the fact that the movie is an incoherent mess.

vogonify What a surprisingly brilliant film this is! Surprising if you are one of those who haven't heard of Alex de la Iglesia as I hadn't, and go by just the poster and the name. Brilliant because you shouldn't just go by the name and poster, and Alex de la Iglesia has made a super cool film.The imminent arrival of Antichrist worries a priest to such an extent that he believes the best way to prevent the tragedy is to step into devil's own shoes. Hilarious and edgy by parts, it is perhaps the only horror film which has made me want to watch it again. Apart from the scarily believable performances, it is highly energetic and doesn't slacken one bit.It is not for everyone though. The delicate-hearted might find it too violent. I wonder if religious people would take kindly to it either. For everyone else, it packs a great amount of fun.

ElijahCSkuggs Over a year ago I accidentally bought Day of the Beast off Ebay with no subs. Finally after a long wait I got the chance to check out this flick, and what a damn shame I wasn't more safe when buying it the first time, because this was a really good flick.El Dia De La Bestia is a comedy/horror/action hybrid that really meshes on a level that few movies have. It's Xmas Eve and a Priest, Metalhead and a TV Host band together to try stop the Anti-Christ from being born. Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it's the truth and these guys go through some ridiculous stuff trying to accomplish their goal. The acting, cinematography, directing and especially the screen play were all great. The writing was fast, realistic and smart, just like how the movie played out. Day of the Beast has barely has any dull scenes, it's funny, and moves at a pretty fast pace. I suppose it's not gonna be everyone's cup of tea, but hell, for me, there's nothing in it worth complaining about.I really hope this film gets more popular, because it definitely has the opportunity to have a large fan base. Hopefully someday it will get some more recognition and you'll be seeing it in Best Buys and so on. And the best part is the director has many more flicks that are supposed to be just as good. If you're looking for a plain old good flick, look no further, Day of the Beast is it.

EVOL666 DAY OF THE BEAST is a film that I've had in my possession for quite a while but just never got around to. Thanks to the prompting of a few adamant friends, I finally threw this one in. Having only seen de la Iglesia's ACCION MUTANTE (which I wasn't a real big fan of...) and PERDITA DURANGO (aka DANCE WITH THE DEVIL - which I did like very much...) I wasn't sure what I was in for with DAY OF THE BEAST. I must say that although flawed, it is one of the better horror/comedy hybrids that I've ever seen.It's Christmas-time, and a priest has learned through his studies the day of the anti-Christ's birth. His goal is to invoke the Devil by performing whatever bits of Satanic mayhem he can in order to eventually "realize" his goal of summoning Satan and killing his spawn. In his quest, the holy-man calls upon the knowledge of a death-metal obsessed record-store clerk, and a cheezy talk-show host to further his cause...A truly funny and well-made production - DAY OF THE BEAST is a fun and twisted black-comedy that should appeal to most horror fans. It's not a graphically gory or sleazy film - but the solid performances, excellent camera-work and solid story-line should keep your interest. The ending is a big anti-climactic which was the only real drawback to me. An otherwise great film that should be at the top of your list...8.5/10
