    Amazon.com: Omen III: The Final Conflict: DVD: Sam Neill,...

    pretty decent conclusion to the series...

    Quoted: Three years after film number two, Fox decided to finally put the last nail in the OMEN coffin and greenlit this sequel, which was definitely better than DAMIEN THE MONEYMAKER. Actual thought was put into the script this time, to bring the series to an appropriate close. Andrew Birkin chose to adhere as closely as possible to Biblical prophesy (with a bit of artistic license where necessary) to chronicle the last days of the adult Damien's stay on Earth. Sam Neill, then a relative newcomer to American movie screens, brought real force and personality to his role. His Damien is no longer uneasy about his purpose, but has embraced his Dark Father's work, with open contempt for the God of Light.

    Amazon.com: Damien: Omen II: DVD

    Had to watch this after seeing the remake of Omen I on Halloween. This movie, Omen II, was equally well done, in my opinion. Now, I need to see the third.

    Quoted: Seven years later, 13-year-old Damien is just discovering who he really is, and what he is destined to do. Now living with his Aunt, Uncle, and cousin in a wealthy suburb of Chicago, Damien is anxious to inherit everything. Can Richard Thorn finish the job that Damien's father (Ambassador Thorn) started?

    This sequel, released two years after the blockbuster success of "The Omen", is itself a stylish thriller. Featuring an excellent cast, it attempts to continue the momentum of the original. While having some shortcomings, the film, nonetheless, manages to entertain and shock. This is due in large part to its excellent cast and another chilling musical score by Jerry Goldsmith that is used to great effect.
