Review of Damien - Omen II (1978) by Abdurahman M — 05 Oct 2008

Seven years later, young Damien (Jonathan Scott-Taylor) is living with adoptive uncle William Holden and aunt Lee Grant, as well as his cousin (Lucas Donat) from Holden's previous marriage. The fatalities in Damien: Omen II are all certainly absurd, but there is no denying their ability to deliver in the end.

Some of them even come close to rivaling the beheading of the photographer in the original. Contributing to these fantastic death sequences even further is the outstanding score from Jerry Goldsmith. Damien: Omen II provides ample breathing room for the Damien character to further grow and the performance of Jonathan Scott-Taylor is what truly allows Damien to shed his childhood innocence and develop seething teenage angst.
