THE MOVIE \u2014 3\u00be\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>When a rogue priest (ALEX ANGULO) discovers the exact date The Antichrist will be born, he\u2019ll enlist a Death Metal record store clerk (SANTIAGO SEGURA) and a cheesy TV psychic (ARMANDO DE RAZZA) for an urban spree of violence to prevent the Apocalypse by summoning Satan himself.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>Add yet another movie of the bizarre nature that I\u2019ve seen in the past couple of weeks (including Igelsia\u2019s own Perdita Durango<\/em>). This part horror, part black comedy is a fun little film with some wonderful performances by Alex Angulo as a priest looking to commit as many sins to fool the devil, Santiago Segura playing a good-natured Satanist and Armando De Razza as phony psychic. Doesn\u2019t exactly rise to a classic in my book but I did have plenty of fun from beginning to the end, even with the dated visual effects\/stop motion animation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
