The movie is technically really well-made, but essentially, the franchise is dangerously on the edge of catastrophe. While "The Omen" is one of the best horror thrillers of all time, "Damien" also excellent but not nearly as strong as the first one, "The Final Conflict" is determined by good acting, lots of excellent cadres and complete lack of soul. I can not say that the story is bad, but after the first two films, it leaves a stale taste in the mouth. Simply, that's not it. And it's better not to even comment on the ridiculous ending. I do not know whether to watch further sequels at all.6/10

Damien Thorne is now in his early thirties and is in charge of a large corporation; he is still going up in the world though. He believes that prophecy means that he must become the US Ambassador in Britain as he is destined to confront a returned Christ there. Shortly after stating this the sitting ambassador kills himself in a spectacular, and gory, fashion and Damien is indeed appointed to the position. Father DeCarlo as acquired the Seven Daggers of Megiddo and along with six other men plan to eliminate Damien before the prophesied return of Christ. Damien meanwhile is trying to find the child; and if he can't identify the child he will have every baby boy born on a certain night killed… even the son of his closest acolyte. While all this is going on Damien is getting close to TV presenter Kate Reynolds and takes her son under his wing.This film provides a solid conclusion to the Omen Trilogy; it also turns up the grisliness to a large degree; the scene where the ambassador shoots himself is genuinely shocking as the wall behind him is splattered red. It isn't long before one of Damien's potential killers burns to death in a rather macabre scene. There are more shocks to come; we don't actually see the babies dying but it is made clear that many are being killed, some only just off screen. Sam Neill does a really good job as Damien; he makes the character charismatic and seductive rather than obviously evil… at least until he starts ordering the deaths of the babies. In some ways it is predictable; we know that those trying to kill Damien won't succeed to soon and the early attackers are doomed from the start; that doesn't matter though as their horrific deaths just raises the stakes for the final confrontation. Sadly the finale doesn't match what has happened before; it is too quick and Damien dies as 'heavenly choirs' sing and bible verses appear on the screen. Sam Neill isn't the only person to put in a good performance; the rest of the cast are somewhat overshadowed but they are still pretty good. Overall I'd say that this is a decent horror film; people who watched the opening two instalments of the trilogy are sure to want to watch it, watching the previous films isn't essential but I suspect it will improve one's enjoyment of this.

This the a very scary movie. 5.6 is underrating. The first two Omen movies are scary. But this is scarier. This is one of the scariest movie of all time. This movie has great acting. It also has a great story line. It also has great special effects. I give this movie 10 out of 10. Sam Neil is a great actor. Lisa Harrow is a great actress. Graham Baker is a great film maker. This movie is a most see. It is no 5.6 it is way to cool. This is one of the great classic horror films. This is one movie you do not want to miss. The is a great movie. See it. One of the beast horror movies ever. I need more lines. Great movie great movie great movie great movie.

Sam Neil takes over the role of Damien, who is now an adult in charge of Thorn industries, and eying a political career running for president the following year, and also preparing the way for himself and his followers for the return of his father to power - Satan. However, a secret order of priests are in place to stop him, no matter how many of their number have to die in the process...Poor sequel is terribly misconceived(jumps too far ahead in time) and utterly ineffectual(no suspense and inept shock value) Sam Neil is the only successful thing here, making Damien a sinister and ruthless foe, but is swamped further by bad continuity, since the first two "Omens", were more or less contemporary(cars, fashions, technology are clearly modern, whereas this film would put them in the 1950's & early '60's! Huh?) Climax is so turgid, and plot so crass, that this is a most ignoble way to end the "trilogy".
