Review of Damien - Omen II (1978) by James C — 28 Jan 2009

As Damien gets older, his powers get stronger and his enemies feel his wrath.

As sequels go this isn't too bad. Of course it is not as good as the original, but the story, directing and acting keep the feel alive. The movie tries to be underplayed, but (as is the Hollywood way) the stunts are bigger and make the product feel more like a traditional horror film. The finale is also far too abrupt, leaving the viewers feeling like they have missed a portion of the movie. All in all, it is not such a classic as the original, but is a competent progression of the story.
