Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The first ten minutes of The Final Conflict are such a masterful job of storytelling... Alas, the moment The Final Conflict turns to dialogue and a plot, it loses its inspiration. Rated: 2/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times The bad news is that Damien has a whole movie to get through before he gives up the ghost, and that the movie is a grisly one. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2004 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...Omen III is one daft addition to the demonology cycle, with the Jerry Goldsmith score and Neill’s saturnine looks just about overcoming some wildly wayward writing... Rated: 3/5 Aug 15, 2023 Full Review Alan Jones Starburst Comical, misguided and ludicrous conclusion. Jul 27, 2022 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A shoddy effort that looks and feels nothing like the first two pictures in the series. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 19, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed Sam Neill is adequate as Damien Thorne, presenting a smarmy and very smug quality to the character.

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Claudio C The Final Conflict (1981) The End of the Trilogy (11,845 – 03 Aug 2000 / 21 Jul 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Damien Thorn (Sam Neill) is thirty-two years old now and CEO of the Thorn Corporation. He wants to be the Ambassador of Great Britain, and the present Ambassador mysteriously dies. Meanwhile, Father De Carlo (Rossano Brazzi) retrieves the seven daggers of Megiddo and reunites with six other priests to kill Damien. When Damien learns that a second Christ is born on 24 March, he asks his worshippers to kill all the babies born in the United Kingdom on that day. “The Final Conflict” (1981) is the end of the trilogy and the weakest movie of the saga of the Antichrist Damien. Now he is too powerful and cruel to be defeated, and his legion of worshippers is great. The performance of Sam Neill in the role of the evil Demien is excellent and his cynical face scares. The conclusion could be better but is acceptable. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): “A Profecia III: O Conflito Final” (“The Omen III: The Final Conflict”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Audience Member So the first movie and the second movie were something, but this is a completely new mess. It lacked adequate acting as well as script. Everything was so cheaply made. I was feeling like I was watching some sort of drama movie. They really messed up with this one. Also, Damien was killed out of nothing, like imagine he has powers of the Antichrist and was killed by a woman easier. That was something that made me instantly dislike the entire movie. There was also a bit of CGI, like the baby in the stroller. That was the worst CGI I have seen in an old movie. If someone wants to watch it, make it a skip watch; that way you will save time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review James B There's not much that really happens in it but it's still entertaining somehow although Damien's death is not satisfying. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Justin T This has fantastic production quality. The locations/sets combined with subtle special effects and stunning camera angles with classic movement make for a great looking film. The sound is an improvement over the last movie with epic score and better balanced dynamics but sadly lacking depth of modern films. Perfectly acceptable though. It is actually quite a good trilogy but it does rely on belief. If you are not Christian then you can understand the themes but it is not as impactful. There are no big scary moments but more a sense of dread. The ending was pretty cool though. Much as it took me a while to get into it I found this a surprisingly memorable trilogy that has grown on me. Maybe if I rewatched the first two I’d rate them higher. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review J H How can a movie starring Sam Neill be so darn boring? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Read all reviews
