Description

4K RESTORATION

In between his debut Acción Mutante and his proudly depraved Perdita Durango, writer/director Álex de la Iglesia (HBO’s 30 Coins) delivered a “classic of modern Spanish cinema” (Screen Anarchy), winning six Goya Awards including Best Director.

When a rogue priest (Pan’s Labyrinth’s Álex Angulo) discovers the exact date The Antichrist will be born, he enlists a Death Metal record store clerk and a cheesy TV psychic for an urban spree of “gore, sacrilege and twisted humor” (San Francisco Examiner) to prevent the Apocalypse by summoning Satan himself.

A 4K restoration from the original negative, supervised by the director himself!
