Severin Films is releasing director Alex de la Iglesia’s masterful cult classic, The Day of the Beast (1995) on a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray. Stars Alex Angulo.
A basque priest finds by means of a cabalistic study of the bible that the anti-Christ is going to be born on Christmas day in Madrid. Helped by a heavy-metal fan and by the showman of a TV esoteric program, he will try to invoke the devil to find out the place of birth and kill the baby. Starring Álex Angulo, Armando De Razza, Santiago Segura, Terele Pávez, and Nathalie Seseña.
This second feature by naughty Spanish director Alex de la Iglesia turns out to be a splendidly blasphemous horror-comedy about nothing less than the birth of the Antichrist.

One key difference between the film industries in America and Spain: America would never honor a horror comedy with multiple Oscar wins, let alone nominations.
