When The Omen was released in 1976 it was a real rival to The Exorcist, but the film series that it inspired soon degenerated into a soppy formula. This second sequel finds Devil-child Damien as US ambassador to the Court of St James, thus following in his father's footsteps. Intending to do a Herod by killing every male child born on a certain day, Damien unleashes a load of special effects, obliging the priests to dust off the seven daggers of Megiddo yet again. The climax is mind-bogglingly silly, but not final enough because there was yet another sequel, Omen 4: the Awakening, in 1991.
The final installment of the trilogy sees Damien now into his early 30's and is played in this film by a young Sam Neil. Suprisingly i actually found this better than part 2 but still not a patch on the first one. Sam Neil does a good job playing Damien but the film just seems to lack ideas and when the ending finally arrives it was a huge let down...where was the 'go down with a fight' attitude you would expect from Damien?
Worth a watch just to see how the trilogy ends thats all.
