A unique film for sure but still struggles to find its footing to be something more than mediocre.
Damn...The Day of the Beast was a nice surprise. Great story and good execution, decent acting, and of course....it was bloody hilarious.
Highly recommended dark comedy!!!!
A Catholic priest is dedicated to stopping the birth of the Antichrist on Christmas day. To do so he must become a Satanist and sell his soul.
Dark comedy fantasy thriller (and horror apparently but I would hardly call it that). The dark comedy is funny and effective and the characters are so likable and hilarious. Great fight choreography and it's somewhat unpredictable I had no idea where the story was going most of the time. It was an 8 before the miserable third act and ending it completely dismissed everything established before. I was expecting something horrifying in the third act sinse it's listed in the horror genre but instead it was a bad quality action fantasy with the most laughable version of that entity i've seen in a while. Everything before that was great though.
A fun movie. Good pace and characters. I didn't know how it would evolve.

I just found a new film to watch every Christmas!! This is just brilliant and will be highly enjoyable for rewatch! The comedy, action, fantasy and horror blend perfectly on this film about a priest trying to stop the birth of Antichrist on the Christmas Day by learning how to be a sinner and selling his soul to the Devil. There are 3 main characters, the priest, the death metal fan, and the psychic. They were super likeable, hilarious, and quirky it's so hard not to pay attention despite a bit too long in runtime. I just love their personality and wild energy. They sure one of the best characters I've seen in films. This film filled with many surprises, clever direction, the plot was really unique and creative, and the humor landed very well. So much madness in one film. It's perfect, I LOVE IT!
