Damien–Omen II
The First Time Was Only A Warning.
Satan’s son, Damien (Scott-Taylor), has turned 13 and attends a military academy; people close to him begin to sense the kind of power he wields. The second film maintains some of the scary atmosphere from the original, but the filmmakers haven’t bothered with a new script; Mr. Holden is the new Gregory Peck. We do however get to see several imaginative killings, with a particularly unpleasant drowning in an icy lake. Incidentally, Satan is represented by ravens, not dogs, in this chapter.
