The Omen II: Damien

Maybe it's because I didn't know what to expect, but I liked this movie. The story and characters were great, and the mood was set very nicely. It should be no surprise that in a movie called The Omen that we see a lot of symbolism, such as the crow and the red dress. The music also helped the mood. I especially liked the ending, which I admit, made my jaw drop. But I won't spoil it for you. I give this one a 4 out of 5.
