Movie Reviews of Damien: Omen II
Movie Review: ''Here's your daggers!''
Summary: 4 Stars
Damien Omen II is a decent sequel to the original Omen film, which was released in 1976. The cast is very strong and includes such well-known actors as William Holden, Lee Grant, and Robert Foxworth. Jonathan Scott-Taylor is excellent as the precocious Damien who gradually realizes his is the Devil's son.
For the most part the plot traces a series of horrific deaths that pave the way for Damien to gain wealth and influence. It becomes obvious that many of the people in his life are evil, and are helping kill-off anyone who threatens Damien's rise to power. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film is how rational, worldly people discover the truth about Damien and become unhinged.
Another strong point of Damien Omen II is the cinematography. Filmed largely outdoors, the movie captures nice views of Chicago, the Wisconsin countryside in winter, and the large estate that is owned by Damien's uncle Richard Thorn (Holden). There are also some vividly memorable accident scenes, such as a man trapped in a falling elevator, a crow pecking a woman senseless on a deserted highway, and Lee Grant wielding some scary-looking ancient daggers. It's well worth watching both The Omen and Damien Omen II if you like this type of horror film.
Summary of Damien: Omen II
Several years after the mysterious events that claimed the life of the U.S. Ambassador and his wife, the now teenaged and militarily enrolled Damien Thorne is slowly being made aware of his unholy heritage and horrific destiny. Woe is he (including anyone in Damien's adoptive family and his classmates) who suspects the truth or gets in his way. While not as unrelentingly frightening as its blockbuster predecessor, this more-than-competent sequel to The Omen raises some interesting questions about the nature of free will (can the antichrist deny his birthright?) before falling into a gory series of increasingly outlandish deaths, the best of which is a terrifyingly protracted scene beneath the ice of a frozen lake. Jerry Goldsmith (who won an Oscar for his work on the first film in the series) contributes another marvelously foreboding score. --Andrew WrightHorror DVD Video
