Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

thesar-2 Thank God, this isn't the Trump story.I was advised to see this by a friend due to the many occurrences by our current President. And yes, the movie starts off mirroring the 2017 presidency, but eventually veers off into un-Omen-like territory by having Damien chase down an infant and daggers. It was a nice conclusion to the series, but I wanted more out of the opening promise and not just a typical bad-guy-horror-movie trope. I know the series continued past this part III, but I didn't. This was as far as I would go, until the remake 20+ years later.***Final thoughts: Best part of this movie was not (initially, anyways) naming it Omen III. I admire a series that keeps changing the titles in lieu of Parts II, III, etc. Second best was the first third. Almost worth watching for that opening act.

GL84 Carrying out a dangerous plan, Damien's attempts to father an Antichrist is continually interrupted by a group of priests determined to end his reign and prevent his plans from coming to fruition.Overall this turned out to be quite an exciting and enjoyable effort that does have a few problems. One of the small problems is the fact that this one doesn't seem to go anywhere while he just spends the entire time pontificating on his mission and journey without actually doing much of any interest. These scenes of him going around his office attempting to explain his plans using his connections with the Biblical passages back to his overall plans which aren't in the slightest bit interesting in the long run of simply being too overlong in the first half. The later parts here are almost as bad with the completely overblown love story and the concurrent plot to deal with the children that just tends to drag on for a while as the discussion of the events plods along with barely anything happening during these scenes. As this is understandable considering the particular storyline portrayed in here, this really tends to undermine the whole second half hat really just limps along lifelessly during this half while trying to make the valiant attempts of suspense and mortal terror but never doing anything to do that. That also leads into the last problem here in the film as it really does a pretty lousy job at really delving into his evil business as very little of what he does throughout the film actually manages to make the main characters who is supposedly the Devil incarnate come off like an ordinary psychopath with a devious plan. There's a few areas here that does come off rather nicely which mostly centers on the activities of the priests to stop his plans from coming to fruition which allows this one some rather creepy supernaturally-charged action scenes. The early thwarted ambush at the TV station is rather fun with the actual kill being the highlight, the assassination at the office works nicely with the surprise shock of it and the attempt on the hunting grounds is mostly memorable for turning one of the most beloved dog-breeds into vicious killers in a supposedly chilling scene only for the breed itself to make it amusingly cheesy. About the only other positive beyond these fun scenes is the rather nice way it goes about ensuring the Devilish identity of the main protagonist, holding over the events of the previous film playing off the more charming and level- headed characteristics that would be expected of someone like him which helps keep his identity a secret. Otherwise it's all that works here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language, Brief Nudity, intense themes of child death and a shadowy sex scene.

utgard14 Terrible 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.

AaronCapenBanner Sam Neil takes over the role of Damien, who is now an adult in charge of Thorn industries, and eying a political career running for president the following year, and also preparing the way for himself and his followers for the return of his father to power - Satan. However, a secret order of priests are in place to stop him, no matter how many of their number have to die in the process...Poor sequel is terribly misconceived(jumps too far ahead in time) and utterly ineffectual(no suspense and inept shock value) Sam Neil is the only successful thing here, making Damien a sinister and ruthless foe, but is swamped further by bad continuity, since the first two "Omens", were more or less contemporary(cars, fashions, technology are clearly modern, whereas this film would put them in the 1950's & early '60's! Huh?) Climax is so turgid, and plot so crass, that this is a most ignoble way to end the "trilogy".
