Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 1h 3 mins) The sequence where Damien Thorn speaks to a crowd of his followers was filmed in a Yorkshire quarry with around 450 extras. The scenes were shot with a very low level of available light.
- GoofsAs stated in the first film, the Daggers of Megiddo must all be used in order to destroy Damien completely. One of them alone would not be enough, and yet the monks each take one of the daggers with them in their separate attempts to kill him.
- Quotes
Damien Thorn: Oh my Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of Desolation, though mankind reviles yet aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose to save the world from a second ordeal of Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane creed. Two thousand years have been enough. Show man instead the raptures of Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur of melancholy, the divinity of loneliness, the purity of evil, the paradise of pain. What perverted imagination has fed man the lie that Hell festers in the bowels of the Earth? There is only one Hell, the leaden monotony of human existence. There is only one Heaven, the ecstasy of my Father's kingdom.
This movie has the distinction of being Sam Neill's first American film, as well as Hazel Court's final film appearance (albeit a cameo and uncredited). While I wish Court had more screen time, what better debut than as the son of the Devil?
If I am not mistaken, this movie sort of brought the idea of horror sequels into the modern age. Universal had plenty of secrets to its films, but there was never a "Dracula II" or "Mummy III". While "Friday the 13th" and "Nightmare on Elm Street" are now past ten sequels, "Omen" was the first to get a third film. And a very, very good one at that, with the same feel as the original and the important plot point of the return of Christ.
(We will just ignore the fourth film in the series...)
