With the first two films, there was a real sense of dread. People who knew or had suspicions about Damien being the Anti Christ were terrified. That seemed to be missing from The Final Conflict. It all starts off well enough, with the death of the Ambassador but then it just can't keep up the uneasiness that the previous films had. The monks that were sent to kill Damien, knowing full well just who and what they were dealing with, decide then to confront him on a one to one basis ! Damien is killed with just one dagger.It was explained in the first film that it needed to be the full set, in the shape of a cross to kill him.
A disappointing end to the films, but it does have it's moments, and Jerry Goldsmith's score is once again a joy to listen to.
