DAMIEN: OMEN II Review On "Violent Maniac's Cage"

DAMIEN : OMEN II

(1978, USA)

DIRECTED BY: Don Taylor.

The second Omen entry fails as most sequels do in trying to recapture the velocity of the first. Although there are a lot of Omen style accidents (the elevator death is quite harrowing and creative to say the least) which the films became famous for, the movie seems long and not much fun.

The characters are all a bunch of sniveling twits and Damien's parental guardians especially his uncle who doesn't suspect him until the very closing of the film. Note, by this time most of the cast is dead.

Rating: 2 Skulls
