    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). I think the problem with this follow up is that having already been exposed to the style of horror this offers: the sharp violin music, tight facial close ups, and the use of an animal (in this case it is a crow) as his implement of choice, there is very little by way of a shock factor. Holden is way past his best as an actor, the dialogue adds little to the rather lacklustre sense of menace and the ending is completely devoid of any real jeopardy. It's enjoyable enough, but sadly not patch on the original.
