Amazon.com video review:
Several years after the mysterious events that claimed the life of the U.S. Ambassador and his wife, the now teenaged and militarily enrolled Damien
Thorne is slowly being made aware of his unholy heritage and horrific
destiny. Woe is he (including anyone in Damien's adoptive family and his classmates) who suspects the truth or gets in his way. While not as unrelentingly
frightening as its blockbuster predecessor, this more-than-competent
sequel to The Omen raises some interesting questions about the nature
of free will (can the antichrist deny his birthright?) before falling into
a gory series of increasingly outlandish deaths, the best of which is a
terrifyingly protracted scene beneath the ice of a frozen lake. Jerry
Goldsmith (who won an Oscar for his work on the first film in the series)
contributes another marvelously foreboding score. --Andrew
