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 it's not as bad as horror fans would let you think it is. I have a special place in my heart for the religious thriller, so perhaps I'm a tad more lenient than I should be in my grading, but I could very well say that the devil made me do it, or at the very least, his spawn.

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**

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 Grant).
