Damien Thorn Now 33 Years old CEO of Thorn Industries and now appointed the new Ambassador for Great Britain. The second coming of the child of Christ has been born, Damien and his followers plot to find the child and kill it. a group of monks from Italy plan to kill Damien the daggers of Megiddo.
Sam Neil takes on the role as Damien Thorn, it seems like as now an adult Damien's persona gets darker and more evil. Unlike the first two previous movies this one starts off good but seems to loose its pace in some bits of the movie then builds up then goes slow again.
Rossano Brazzi gives a good performance as one of the monks set out to kill the antichrist, even his acting abilities seem to be pushed to the limits as he seems to be looking tired alot.
The kill scenes are a bit decent especially the former ambassador's suicide and a monk being burned and one falling from a horse over a bridge. The music score by Jerry Goldsmith is a bit more haunting than the previous Omen movie but not as darker as the first movie. 7 out of 10.
Omen 4: The Awakening
Two Attorneys karen and Gene York ( who is running for congress) adopt a baby from a orphange run by nuns and name her Delia. Mysterious circumstances surrounding Delia propmts karen to search for delia's birth parents and finds a connection between Delia and Damien thorn.
This was made for T.V but was given a small thatrical release and went through two different directors, This was a decent installment to the Omen movies, Asia Vera plays Delia, the young actress plays two sides a sweet looking little girl and the other side you really watch to bitch slap into the next week. There is one or two more deaths that can be seen as upsetting if you are afraid of fire or snakes. What threw me off this movie as to who was the real Antichrist and it was a good twist that was unexpected, worth a watch 8 out of 10. |
Never seen the awakening might just now you've gave a point higher than 3 rd omen movie of the trilogy .
I do think all the omen trilogy films are good and a prime eg of how great horror films where then compared to now .
