Damien is now all grown up and this is the instalment where we really start to wonder what the hell (pardon) the Antichrist is good for. No four horses, no great continent devouring dragons. Just Sam Neill bitching at a Jesus statue and killing people in self defence. It's lifted enormously, but ultimately not redeemed, by a baby killing sequence, that sadly joins everything else on the sad road to nowhere.

An underwhelming conclusion to the original trilogy. The production values and the music are as good as the first two films, but the plot just goes nowhere. It's two hours of Damien sitting around and waiting for some mysterious event to happen. The previous films worked mainly because they focused on the guardians as they came to realise who Damien is - this film focuses solely on Damien, and it turns out he's the most boring antichrist ever.

Oh dear. The Omen films take an ignoble turn in part 3. Even the sprightly presence of Sam Niel can't quite overcome the terrible plot, and the 'special' effects, don't impress either. With little of the creeping horror of the first two movies, clearly, watching Damien when he has full control of his faculties, is far less interesting than watching him learn about them.

Plodding. Neill has real charisma as Damien, but the remainder of the cast suffers from a bad case of tired blood; direction and writing are both very uninspired, with few of the usual "creative death" scenes this series is noted for packing much of a wallop. Look for a cameo by Hazel Court during the fox-hunting scene.

Sam Neil looks at a horse and it throws some idiot monk off a bridge. YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NOTHING,

Not as bad as two, but still not great

Alan Grant attempts to kill every newborn in England in order to prevent the Second Coming and secure his reign over the Earth as Satan's child. Not nearly as cool as it sounds. Third in The Omen series, because I guess they were still making money?

All the scary suspensful moments you could want wrapped up in religious mystesism and good of fashioned harem scarem.. Works the mind without the need for glamourous effect. Powerfully chilling

Not good either. This is a long, portentous mess that doesn't work even as mindless entertainment. Sam Neill is quite good as the grown Damien, but you'll be praying for him to punch and eat both Rossano Brazzi and Lisa Harrow, something that sadly never comes. It's slightly better than Part 2, but that's just a minor good thing, since this one is filled with bad ones. Again, puppies are never scary! However, Jerry Goldsmith provides an exciting, majestic score the film does not deserve.

A tad better than Omen II but disappointing overall. In the end, it's nothing new, good wins over evil - as always. And Damien is really only scary as a child

Extremely boring and anti-climactic. Damien has grown up to be a dull-faced, run-of-the-mill baddie with a constipated facial expression. Random, unexplained conspiracies and events occur, but none are interesting nor suspenseful. The kills themselves are lousy, unlike the gory, unexpected deaths of previous installments. And it all ends with a whimper, not a bang.

Not bad.
