Review of Damien - Omen II (1978) by Claudia L — 20 Jun 2017

In my opinion the best of the trilogy. Scared me big time as a kid. The performance especially of Jonathan Scott-Taylor is excellent, and it is remarkable how the then 16 year old actor seemed to "understand" the role.

Of course, if you watch it now, it is a typical 70ies movie with a slow pace etc. You cannot compare it to any horror movies nowadays. As has been said, nice score, good cast. Probably a little to short for my taste, as I feel, the story could have evolved more and some interesting storylines were started and not really finished which is kind of sad.

I think if the movie was half an hour longer, this problem would have been solved. Definitely left an impact on me and I find it, despite its flaws, very watchable.
