When a Basque priest discovers the Antichrist will be born in Madrid on Christmas Eve, he embarks on a blasphemous mission: to commit as many sins as possible to become worthy of the Devil’s presence and thwart the apocalypse. Teaming up with a nihilistic black metal fan and a flamboyant occultist, he plunges into the city’s sleazy underworld in a desperate, darkly comedic race against time. As the body count rises and the trio spirals into madness, the line between salvation and damnation blurs in Álex de la Iglesia’s frenetic, genre-defying horror masterpiece.

User Reviews
MidnightWatcher – 8/10
“This movie is a wild, chaotic ride from start to finish. The mix of horror and dark humor really worked for me, and the performances were top-notch. The atmosphere is thick with dread and religious fervor, and it never lets up.”
GoreHound666 – 7/10
“Not as gory as I expected, but the creepiness made up for it. The priest's descent into sin was unsettling and fascinating. Some scenes felt a bit dated, but the overall vibe is pure 90s Euro-horror. Worth a watch.”
ScreamQueen – 6/10
“I appreciated the originality and the bold premise, but the pacing was all over the place for me. The black metal angle was cool, but I wish they'd explored the occult stuff more. Still, Álex de la Iglesia has a unique vision that's hard to ignore.”
TerrorEnthusiast – 8/10
“Absolutely loved it! The blend of absurdist comedy and genuine terror hit all the right notes for me. The chemistry between the three leads was fantastic, and the ending left me thinking for days. A hidden gem of 90s horror.”
