Without a doubt...the best Omen!


I'm always hearing people praise the first film. But honestly, I think the first film was boring and super overrated. This sequel was just great. With Damien not also being the main character (but also the anti-christ), showing his life as a teenager seemed to be a perfect starting point, in regards to making a sequel about Damien. When Damien was a young kid in the first film...his character just didn't seem as prominent. This film pretty much shows Damien transfer from being a wealthy-upscale teenager, to a real life anti-christ. Everything about the sequel was just so much better than the first film. You actually get a chance to see Damien evolve. And plus, the actor who played Damien was just perfect. The entire cast was perfect. The soundtrack was also great. I think this sequel is rather underrated.

Not sure if it is the best but it is very underrated. I think the whole trilogy is really solid.

A cracking trilogy. Damien: Omen II and Omen II: The Final conflict are solid sequels. However, The Omen is the best of the franchise.
