This is an iconic shot in Spanish genre cinema, but I don't see many Spanish movies here, so maybe it's rare enough for you guys.
The movie title translates to The Day of the Beast, great Christmas horror-comedy I do recommend. Keep in mind that it can get really dark and grim.
I've been trying to watch it, but i can't find it anywhere

Re the IA copies, if you don't speak Spanish, maybe you can download & combine with subs from OpenSubtitles.org.
thanks mate
You're welcome :)
I have my old DVD disc, but I torrented (then deleted) the new remaster a year ago just to check it out. It was a 2160p, 40 GiB file, and now I can't find anything even close to that, it's weird.
As for streaming platforms, JustWatch could help: https://www.justwatch.com/
I can't recommend you buy it without seeing it first. It's a very idiosyncratic movie, you might hate it 😅
Welcome to the threadiverse!
Looks fun: added El día de la bestia to my wishlist.
The characters doing nighttime action in front of a neon Schweppes sign reminds me of Total Recall (1990), with people in the future on Mars doing nighttime action in front of a neon Peñafiel sign (Peñafiel a Mexican brand of mineral water & soft drinks owned for years by Cadbury-Schweppes).
Seeing the film again almost 30 years after my first watch (in London), the Peñafiel sign & the architecture around it made me realize "F**k me! I know where that is! That's Insurgentes metro station in Mexico City!!!"

Thanks! I hope you don't hate the movie 😆
Wait, Total Recall was shot on Mexico?? It hasn't been that long since I saw it, but I never even questioned the locations. Good to know! But be mindful of the copy you choose, the remaster kills a lot of color variation from the movie. It's noticeable on every shot, but I took screenshots of this one that illustrates it very clearly:
The movie as I remember it, the palette is never dull
The 4K remaster, I understand the logic but I don't agree with it. It's like current editions want to make everything monochrome.
Good god! That looks like The Angry Red Planet (1959) with its truly awful "Cinemagic" process.
🤣 Yes! But that technique had its awful charm, now I want to see it again. And thanks for the link to Cinemagic! I never knew how they messed up the photography so bad.
Whoa. Really dramatic looking frame. I found the trailer on youtube https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_sOQnTw2K4E
😁 Glad you like it. It's a tense scene but also weirdly comedic, I'm not sure if the humor will translate, but I think this movie is a blast. Lots of other cool frames right there on the trailer too.
The trailer looked very cinematic. And while I’ve never been to Spain, to my eyes, it seemed to pack some 90’s nostalgia. Looks like my library has it too
At the time, the production felt very real: locations, objects, fashion, music... everything was kept pretty grounded, so of course it's become a 90s time capsule :)
