Reviews for Damien: Omen II
Not a great film like the original, but this remains a wildly entertaining sequel full of memorable death scenes.
...comes off as a surprisingly organic follow-up to its 1976 predecessor...
Damien—Omen II though it's as foolish as the first film, is rather more fun to watch and sometimes very stylish-looking.
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.
Proves once and for all that the love of sequels is actually the root of all evil.
It plumbs the same idiotic religious dread as its 1976 predecessor, with a higher and even more gratuitous body count.
...it is a mess, but it's actually very engrossing. There's not a minute of the film that isn't watchable...
