A rogue priest goes on a twisted spree to prevent the apocalypse in this horror comedy essential.

Much more fun than I expected. The film-makers seem to have a shallow understanding of Catholicism but oh well, it makes for an entertaining enough movie. Álex Angulo deserves more credit for taking this role; he was a big star in Spain - think Tom Hanks playing a desperately unhinged priest - and you'll get a sense of how wild this was in its native land. It's a tongue-in-cheek, slightly sophisticated, but mostly just silly take on a pastiche of end-times anxieties. If you're expecting a serious movie about anything, this ain't it.
I loved this idiotic film, regardless of how corny and stupid. It genuinely made me laugh
Really great! Even better than I thought it would be!
