Description: Now an adult, Damien is trying to kill his future opponent, the second coming of Jesus Christ. But a group of monks have banned together to try and kill Damien once and for all.

Gore/Violence: This movie doesn't show a lot of violence, but actually has some gory scenes in it. At the beginning of the movie, the ambassador kills himself. And the only other gory scene that I can think of is when someone gets killed by a iron.

Body Count: I would have to say that this has a very high body count, but most deaths are not shown, only referenced. Damien, trying to kill off the second coming, kills every baby born on a specific date.

Nudity & Sexuality: Meh. It said nudity, but there is only the side of a titty, nothing more.

Death Scenes: I actually thought the first death scene of the ambassador was pretty good. It was an elaborate setup to commit suicide where he rigged a gun to go off when someone opened the door. It actually looks pretty gory as well, since the bullet entered right above his mouth and splattered on the wall behind him. The only other death scene worth mentioning is when someone gets hit with an iron in the eye. It seemed to do a lot of damage burning the skin, and killing him. I know I have never seen an electric iron get that hot, so it was overdone.

Acting/Storyline: I really enjoyed this storyline. I thought it was very original. The acting in the movie was pretty good overall. There were a few scenes where it seemed to be acting out badly, but only one, or two that I can think of.

Final Rating: This movie is the third of the "trilogy" as they call it. There are actually 4 Omen movies, but the 4th is actually very similar to the first movie. (Just replace Damien with a girl named Dilia, with a twist). I thought this movie was really good. I don't know why I like these movies so much, there is not too much to them, but I guess the storyline is what I like o much. These movies are mainly storyline, and not reliant on special effects, or great acting. Give this movie a chance, and I'm sure you'll like it if you liked the other two.
