Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Omen series concludes with this second sequel, starring Sam Neill as the adult Damien--a.k.a. the son of Satan--in a battle with the heavens for control of mankind. The film ends up depending more heavily on effects and spectacle than on the kind of basic horrors that made the first movie in the series so unsettling, but at least this one gives some closure to the seemingly endless saga. --Tom Keogh

Frankly? - More beliveable than the "Left Behind" movie,
By Brent (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Final Conflict (Widescreen) (DVD)
I saw "The Omen" on July 4, 1976, with my brother's fiance and her best friend. The movie scared - literally - the mortal hell out of me. So much that I, in pouring rain, emptied my VW of every conceivable upper, downer, laugher, screamer, etc. Now: Skip ahead 4 years: I've just gotten fired from a great, well paying modeling job, and I'm living with a Brooke lookalike. So what do we do? Yup. Go see "The Final Conflict." Sam Neill is indisputably the most frightening, insidious character in any movie I've ever seen (with the exception of that terrifying bald woman who played Satan in "The Passion"). And the scene where the priest tries to stab Damien with one of the "holy knives," and gets caught in a blazing inferno....this is one frightening film, folks. But you know what I like most about it? At the end, Jesus kicks Damien's @$$. Watch these flicks, especially the first and third (everybody says that the fourth installment ruined the integrity of the series). And I can't stop without a warning: PLEASE, folks, remember that somewhere in the world right now, whatever "Damien's" real name is, he's getting ready to start all this. We are living in the end times. You allright with The Lord?

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes...",
By Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omen III:the Final Conflict (VHS Tape)
Although THE OMEN and DAMIEN: THE OMEN II are scary films, as a Christian, this one is by far the best in the series. Even though it is not 100% Biblically accurate, I felt that the Bible's message was represented accurately, and it does seem to follow Biblical prophecy very well. My favorite thing about the film is the ending, where Jesus returns "not as a child, but as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords." Sam Neill played Damien Thorne with scary realism and exciting presence. The only thing that could've been kept out was the sex scene (even though it's not as bad as the scenes in HIGHLANDER: THE FINAL DIMENSION and HIGHLANDER: ENDGAME). For anyone and everyone interested in Bible prophecy and exciting conflict. Grade: A+

Like A Trip To Hell,
By anthony nasti (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Final Conflict (Widescreen) (DVD)
After 1978's "Damien: Omen II" gave insight to his plan to take over the family business, you'd think 1981's "Omen III: The Final Conflict" would have Damien Thorn wreaking havoc all across the world. Instead, he's not. He's hunting for foxes in the English countryside, leaving his dirty work to an evil rottweiller.There are several reasons why this sequel doesn't work. First, the actors are terrible. Sam Neill, a versatile British character actor who can usually be counted on to create top - notch roles, is wooden as Damien. It was obvious this was not his starmakiing vehicle. He had to wait until Steven Spielberg cast him in "Jurassic Park" to become a familliar name. Veteran character actor Rosanno Brazzi fairs only slightly better as the leader of a group of monks out to kill Damien once and for all. Unknown British actress Lisa Harrow is trechorous as a news reporter who romances Damien until she finds out his true indentity. Adding to this, Jerry Goldsmith's score is lackluster, the direction is awful, and there is not one scary moment in the entire film. A big mar on a classic film series.
