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.

Only a shell of the original, but still creepy and full of quality kills!

Damien is really just more of the same as The Omen.
