A step above the first! The first one was brought down by the fact that Damien was too young and therefore he didn't get much of an arc or character interactions. This is eliminated here with him being older and the 'antichrist coming of age' story is interesting. The child actor is decent and so is the character. Him basically killing people with the Force is pretty badass but lacks explanation and logic. Great theatrical and memorable kills just like the first, my favorites being the crow and elevator ones. As cool as those are, I think there wasn't enough kills, an extra one or two really good ones would have elevated the movie for me. Epic score once again. The ending is kinda weird but I like the final shot.

The Antichrist rises in _Damien: Omen II_. Now a teenager enrolled in a prestigious military academy, Damien learns that he is the Antichrist foretold of in the Book of Revelations. Unfortunately, either because of poor writing or acting, Damien’s journey isn’t that interesting. Instead, most of the intrigue lies in the subplot involving a secret cabal that protects Damien. But despite the script issues, the film delivers some intense and disturbing violence. While _Damien: Omen II_ hits a lot of the same beats as the first film, it’s not quite as dark or as ambitious.

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 More

Following from the really enjoyable "Omen" from three years earlier, our eponymous antichrist (Jonathan Scott-Taylor) is now in his teens, and together with his cousin "Mark" (Lucas Donat) attends a military academy whilst under the care of his uncle "Richard" (William Holden) and aunt "Ann" (Lee Gr More

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**
