The story revolves around a Basque Roman Catholic priest dedicated to committing as many sins as possible, a death metal salesman from Carabanchel, and the Italian host of a TV show on the occult. These go on a literal "trip" through Christmas-time Madrid to hunt for and prevent the reincarnation of the Antichrist.

Bizarre and doesn't make a lick of sense at times, but thoroughly entertaining with the blend of horror, fantasy and dark comedy. 3.75/5
