Review of Damien - Omen II (1978) by Luke B — 07 Oct 2008
It's not a terrible film. It may win the award for most frustrating film though. The problem faced is that the audience knows Damien is the son of the devil, so it hardly makes for exciting entertainment watching more people discover this and then try and convince other people.
Of course those that find out soon die in horrible ways. It's a tedious retread with a few moments of suspense. The places the film should have succeeded are those of Damien dealing with being the son of Satan.
However he simply cries "WHY ME?" Then soon gets over it and uses his powers to devastating effect. This could have been comparable to Michael Corleone's rise to power, instead Damien becomes more hilarious the more evil he tries to be.
