Damien: Omen II (1978) dir. Don Taylor. 7.5/10

I would not recommend this movie to my friends. I would not rewatch this movie.

How white these people are. Imagine learning that you were born to be evil.

This movie's Damien is more interesting because he's like an actual person with character.

Poor Bugenhagen. I really wanted Aunt Marion to last. How quickly we lost her. This poor doctor.

Joan's death takes me right back to The Birds. Why are these omen movies tryna make us scared of animals? First, dogs. Now, birds. Leave them alone. The murderer is Satan.

These fireworks seem dangerous. But, also, what kinda rich?

Where are these Satan's little helpers coming from? What would I do if I were Mark?
