Reviews:

Actually not half bad and kind of enjoyed this one a bit more than the first film. Still not great but had its moments, mainly seeing Damien come to realization of who he is and coming to accept it. **3.25/5**

This wasn’t as good as Richard Donner’s superb original, but it’s a solid sequel. It lacks the unique sense of despair and menace of one’s own child perhaps being the Antichrist, and the suspense is neither as taut nor as skillfully handled, but there are some great death scene set-pieces here, and it’s not as bad as horror fans would let you think it is. I have a special place in my heart for the religious thriller, so perhaps I’m a tad more lenient than I should be in my grading, but I could very well say that the devil made me do it, or at the very least, his spawn. Jerry Goldsmith does another fine soundtrack, albeit not with the two Oscar nominations and one win this time around, while William Holden and Lee Grant do a credible job of replacing stars Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, whom Damien had no qualms dispensing with in the first film. The original is essential viewing for anyone, while the first two sequels are fine fare for any contemporary cinematic (by that, I mean of films since 1970) horror or religious thriller aficionado.

Worth watching
“Damien Omen II” should of been in reality the third film in the “Omen Series”. The producers for some reason decided to age up Damien which proved problematic for this film.

David Seltzer, who wrote the first film’s screenplay, was asked by the producers to write the second. Seltzer refused as he had no interest in writing sequels. Years later, Seltzer commented that had he written the story for the second Omen, he would have set it the day after the first movie, with Damien a child living in The White House. With Seltzer turning down Omen II, producer Harvey Bernhard duly outlined the story himself, and Stanley Mann was hired to write the screenplay.

This film is a little slow. The original director (Mike Hodge) was replaced. Now how much material that he shot that ended up in the final film is unknown to me.

This film main problem is that there is almost no element of surprise discovery for the audience. The death scenes however are still effective (Even to this day) and it does scare you but not as much as the original did.

The film is worth watching because the film is has Adult Actors that know how to act.

The beast is back.
Now almost a teenager, Damien Thorn (Jonathan Scott-Taylor), the AntiChrist, is being schooled at a top military academy, along with his cousin Mark (Lucas Donat). With the guidance of his evil disciples, he discovers his true identity, accepts his unholy destiny, and learns to use his Satanic powers to destroy anyone who might threaten his ascendancy… including those nearest and dearest to him.

It must have been a devil of a job following in the cloven foot-steps of Richard Donner’s superb horror classic The Omen, but director Don Taylor does so admirably with a supremely effective sequel that is almost on a par with the original. Taylor handles his material skillfully, his stylish direction making the most of the bleak winter setting to enhance the already chilling atmosphere, and his excellent cast (which includes William Holden, Lee Grant and Lance Henriksen) play everything with a deadly seriousness that will make a believer out of even the most sceptical of atheists, if only for the duration of the movie.

Perhaps, though, the film is most notable for its elaborately staged deaths, designed to delight those who considered David Warner’s decapitation by sheet glass to be the highlight of the original. In Omen II, viewers are treated to several equally gruesome scenes in which a variety of unlucky souls meet their fate (often heralded by the appearance of a raven and the genuinely eerie ‘kaw’ croaks of Jerry Goldsmith’s brilliant score). Buried alive, drowned under ice, eyes pecked out and hit by a truck, gassed to death, crushed by a train, and sliced in half—they all go in a decidedly nasty fashion, the deaths made all the more horrific by the extreme terror experienced by the victims in their final moments.
