This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreThis the a very scary movie. 5.6 is underrating. The first two Omen movies are scary. But this is scarier. This is one of the scariest movie of all time. This movie has great acting. It also has a great story line. It also has great special effects. I give this movie 10 out of 10. Sam Neil is a great actor. Lisa Harrow is a great actress. Graham Baker is a great film maker.

One of the beast horror movies ever. I need more lines. Great movie great movie great movie great movie.
... View MoreSomewhat Disturbing and an Ominous Tone make the Third Movie in the Omen Trilogy a Must Watch for Fans of the Series. It was Followed by a TV Movie, Omen IV: The Awakening (1991) that most "The Omen" Completest Disregard Completely.Sam Neill, in a difficult Breakout Role delivers a Creepy, Intense Performance that Carries the Film with the Help of some Lurid Plotting and Exposition. The Seeking out and Killing of the Christ Child, the Numerous and Well Done Assassination Monk Eliminations, Damien's Talk to His Disciples, His Ranting to Christ, and other things make this a Solid Horror and Supernatural Entry that is Neither Embarrassing or Disappointing as Sequels go.It's got a Good Cast and a Fine Jerry Goldsmith Score, a Sharp looking Production Template, and it all Contributes to the Success of the "Final Conflict". There are some truly Creepy Scenes and this Dark Tale of the Battle between Christ and the Anti-Christ is Not as Anticlimactic as some may Claim. In Fact, it Comes Off as more Believable than an Over Produced, SFX Saturated, Grand, Extravagant Ending Ever Could.
... View MoreTerrible sequel that will bore you to tears. It's an Omen film so you know there will be novelty death scenes bordering on camp. You get that here for sure. As another reviewer pointed out, every time someone gets close to killing Damien they have the worst possible luck and wind up dead themselves through some silly means. It turns the movie into an unintentional comedy.The movie has poor continuity with the other films but does manage to maintain most of their flaws. There are no real shocks or scares and you'll find yourself checking your watch frequently. Avoid it unless you want to finish the series. In which case, prepare yourself for disappointment.
... View MoreThe now adult Antichrist (Sam Neill) plots to eliminate his future divine opponent while a cabal of monks plot to stop him.This movie has the distinction of being Sam Neill's first American film, as well as Hazel Court's final film appearance (albeit a cameo and uncredited). While I wish Court had more screen time, what better debut than as the son of the Devil? If I am not mistaken, this movie sort of brought the idea of horror sequels into the modern age. Universal had plenty of secrets to its films, but there was never a "Dracula II" or "Mummy III". While "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" are now past ten sequels, "Omen" was the first to get a third film. And a very, very good one at that, with the same feel as the original and the important plot point of the return of Christ.(We will just ignore the fourth film in the series...)
