Damien: Omen II is a mediocre sequel to a classic film. Created to cash in on the success of the first, this entry has a good idea for a plot, but it simply doesn't cut in the long run. The first half is good, but unfortunately is weakened by a second half. The film is mediocre a... read more
A good sequel to the Omen, not as good as the first of course, but it's good. There are a lot of good horrific incidents that occur because of Damien, and the story is good too. If you liked the original don't hesitate to continue watching the series, the third and last film is... read more
The original Omen left itself wide open for a sequel, and even though I personally don't think it particularly needed one; I have to say that this second part, to my surprise, is actually very good! Don Taylor's sequel, of course, has nothing on Richard Donner's original; and eve... read more
Probably the second best sequel ever made after the Godfather II. Almost as good as the original, this is a great continuation of the story of Damien, the anti-Christ. Damien is easily one of the scariest characters in film, Satan during puberty, now that's a scary thought eh!
It's not a terrible film. It may win the award for most frustrating film though. The problem faced is that the audience knows Damien is the son of the devil, so it hardly makes for exciting entertainment watching more people discover this and then try and convince other people. O... read more
Considerably more difficult to take seriously than the first one. Full of goofy deaths and placeholder characters that are just begging to die, The Omen II feels more like a Satanic slasher than an actual attempt at telling a story.
Somewhat dry 70's feel sequel to the first Omen film, following Damien's years in a private boys' school. Gruesome accidents await those who get too close to learning the truth about Damien being the son of Satan. It's a quality production with some chilling death scenes. (I woul... read more
Damien-Omen II though it's as foolish as the first film, is rather more fun to watch and sometimes very stylish-looking. Full Review
...comes off as a surprisingly organic follow-up to its 1976 predecessor... Full Review
As the teenage Damien, Jonathan Scott-Taylor works wonders with the role Full Review
... the worst of the original Omen trilogy. Full Review
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. Full Review
It plumbs the same idiotic religious dread as its 1976 predecessor, with a higher and even more gratuitous body count. Full Review
Not a great film like the original, but this remains a wildly entertaining sequel full of memorable death scenes.
If only most sequels were this good.
Proves once and for all that the love of sequels is actually the root of all evil. Full Review
