A worthy sequel
17 July 2005
I saw this film yesterday , In my opinion it is a worthy sequel to the omen . Picking up from where the story left off last time . Damien is slowly made aware of his true purpose on earth and who he really is. John Scott-Taylor done an excellent performance as the son of the evil one (why he quit acting i don't know ???) Lee Grant also took a good stab at the performance however not as creepy as Billie Whitelaw's and William Holden also gave a solid performance but not as good as Gregory Peck's . Instead of being high on atmosphere and creepy-ness like the first film , Omen 2 mostly relies on being suspenseful and tries to built up a bit of tension and pulls it off nicely in some areas with a good body count and some gruesome kills . However it does have a few silly flaws in it that can be rather ridiculous to believe which can make the film a little confusing . Top that off with a little bit of a twist towards the last closing seconds of the film and an ending which speaks for it-self and you have a good film that any horror movie fan would want to check out . I still got a chill down my spine when i saw Damiens face in wall so it still hits the spot to some extent . I have not seen the final conflict yet but i am looking forward to checking it out as i would see what becomes of the fate of the anti-Christ , i heard it did not get that many good reviews but each to their own !
