Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on frights — not a wind-down.
  • In Spanish — subtitles on.

The story

When a rogue priest 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 to prevent the Apocalypse.
