As Damien comes to realize his own satanic nature, his adopted parents must try to stop the forces of evil. Grisly shocks and a strong sense of doom make this a worth sequel. [More]

Reviews for Damien: Omen II
...comes off as a surprisingly organic follow-up to its 1976 predecessor...
As the teenage Damien, Jonathan Scott-Taylor works wonders with the role
This sequel lacks the bravura pacing of the original, and though it tries to maintain the biblical tone in following the adolescence of its antichrist anti-hero, immense problems emerge.
It plumbs the same idiotic religious dread as its 1976 predecessor, with a higher and even more gratuitous body count.
Not a great film like the original, but this remains a wildly entertaining sequel full of memorable death scenes.
Damien—Omen II though it's as foolish as the first film, is rather more fun to watch and sometimes very stylish-looking.
Proves once and for all that the love of sequels is actually the root of all evil.
