Audience Member This movie is better than the first one, features much more acting, and has a nice script. The character development is stronger, especially with Damien, whose growing awareness of his dark destiny adds a layer of psychological tension. The pacing is more balanced, allowing the story to unfold with greater suspense, and the supporting cast gives more convincing performances. The film expands the mythology introduced in the original, giving viewers a broader sense of the world Damien inhabits. The ominous atmosphere is intensified through haunting music and stark cinematography, making the horror feel more grounded and unsettling. Overall, Damien: Omen II succeeds as a compelling sequel that both respects and builds upon the original's legacy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Justin T Looking at the film I liked the movement and the style. The locations looked amazing. The sound has not aged well and actually sounds fairly terrible. It had no bass and the high end was pushed way too far. The murder death kills were pretty cool (especially the elevator death) although not that gory but as this is a thriller I didn’t mind. The story didn’t really progress from the first film and there was no real suspense. Quite well paced and nice to look at but ultimately more of the same. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/25 Full Review Ian H Decent follow up with some good performances and a couple of neat twists. Not as sinister as the original Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review James B While nothing really happens apart from a few deaths it still manages to be entertaining even though it is some what a rehash of the original one. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Gabriel W Das Omen 2 Die inoffiziellen Fortsetzungen der Omen Reihe, ist die Final Destination Reihe. Wie der Titel Omen ankündigt geht es, zwar um den Sohn des Teufels. Jedoch sind es die "Unfälle", die durch das Omen angekündigt werden, die diese Filme schon derzeit auf eine andere Ebene gehieft haben. Der Splatter hat eine eigene Dramaturgie und einen besonderen Impact. In der Final Destination Reihe mögen die Unfälle kreativ und auch stellenweise unerwartet sein, aber es fehlt ihnen diese besondere Geschichte dahinter. Auch wenn es ein Konstrukt gibt. Während im Omen Teil 1 es gar nicht so klar ist, ob Damien tatsächlich der Sohn des Teufels sein soll, ist es in dieser Coming of Age Fortsetzung schon klarer. In einer Schlüsselszene wirkt es fast wie ein Coming out. Es gibt Szenen, wie das verbale Duell zwischen Damien und einem Lehrer, die man nicht so schnell vergisst. Es scheint, als wäre so etwas heute nicht mehr möglich. Auch die Aufzugszene, wie der Köpfer mit der Glasplatte im ersten Teil, ist gelungen. Versuche Fortsetzungen oder Remakes zu drehen gelingen nicht wirklich. Zu sehr ist man versteift auf die "Sohn des Teufels" Geschichte. MmN müsste man Remakes oder Fortsetzungen so drehen, wie die Final Destination Filme. Sonst macht auch der Titel "Omen" wenig Sinn. Für mich sind Teil 1 und Teil 2 von das Omen unübertroffen. Absolut Sehenswert. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Sérgio N 7 anos após os eventos do primeiro filme (2 no nosso multiverso), o capirotinho continua sua jornada pra quem sabe um dia, dominar nosso globo azul. Aqui não temos mais aquele clima sombrio congelante do primeiro devido a diversos fatores, mas o suspense e até certo ponto, o desenvolvimento do personagem central é relativamente aceitável. Não sei se a ideia inicial era uma trilogia, mas analisando por essa perspectiva, o próximo filme complementaria esse. Mas, apesar de grandes nomes como William Holden, Lee Grant e até a participação do Lance Henriksen, o que deveria entregar mais (Jonathan Scott-Taylor), não convenceu tanto quanto Harvey Stephens. Mike Hodges, que deixou no meio do caminho, não tem muita coisa impactante no currículo (só notei o "colossal" Flash Gordon de 1980), e Don Taylor, que acabou assumindo, dirigiu muitos clássicos, como por exemplo, Escape from the Planet of the Apes.
