Since the sudden and highly-suspicious death of his parents, 12 year-old Damien has been in the charge of his billionaire uncle Richard Thorne (William Holden) Widely feared to be the Antichrist, Damien relentlessly plots to seize control of his uncle's multi-national food conglomerate- and the world. Meanwhile, anyone attempting to unravel the secrets of Damien's sinister past or fiendish future meets with a swift and cruel demise.
Viewer Reviews Damien Omen II is a decent sequel to the original Omen film, which was released in 1976. The cast is very strong and includes such well-known actors as William Holden, Lee Grant, and Robert Foxworth. Jonathan Scott-Taylor is excellent as the precocious Damien who gradually realizes his is the Devil's son. For the most part the plot traces a series of horrific deaths that pave the way for Damien to gain wealth and influence. It becomes obvious that many of the people in his life are evil, and are helping kill-off anyone who threatens Damien's rise to power. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the film is how rational, worldly people discover the truth about Damien and become unhinged. Another strong point of Damien Omen II is the cinematography. Filmed largely outdoors, the movie captures nice views of Chicago, the Wisconsin countryside in winter, and the large estate that is owned by Damien's uncle Richard Thorn (Holden). There are also some vividly memorable accident scenes, such as a man trapped in a falling elevator, a crow pecking a woman senseless on a deserted highway, and Lee Grant wielding some scary-looking ancient daggers. It's well worth watching both The Omen and Damien Omen II if you like this type of horror film.
