  The Final Conflict had the potential to be a very strong, redeeming film over the bad second one, instead it's one of the worst sequel as of yet to the original Omen. I can give him props however to Sam Neil to portray Damien Thorn effectively, but unfortunately his incredible acting ability doesn't even salvage this terrible film. Sam Neil looks like he's struggling to do his best with a poorly written script, and he tries his best to portray an adult Damien, but the film is a failure. I found that the film dragged too long to get to the point of this mess. The Final Conflict could have gone through another two rewrites before being approved by the studio, the concept was good, but the poorly written script ruins the film. The idea behind the plot were great, and it's a shame the filmmakers couldn't create something more memorable. Like I stated earlier, Sam Neil is a great choice, and is perfect for the part. Unfortunately due to a mediocre script, his talent can't redeem such a poor film. The strength of the film is Neil, but the weakness is a script that is heavily flawed. The film doesn't have any remarkable horror moments, and doesn't deliver anything scary. I think this film could have been a great entry in the series, one that had an interesting idea by having Damien Thorn as an adult. However, ideas expressed on film are flat and unimpressive. All in all, The Final Conflict is a bad film that could be so much better, it's a shame that with such an interesting idea, they came up with such a mundane entry in an obviously tired franchise.

  An awesome horror movie in the Omen series, one of my favourite movies, I highly recommend it if you liked the other two.

  Not scary if that was the intention of making this movie.

  The first sequel to the 1976 classic, 'The Omen' was surprisingly decent; and indeed this third part isn't bad either. It is true that Damien has gotten less interesting as he got older, but as with the other two films; this stage of the Antichrist's life has its interesting twists and turns. Rather than simply focusing on the central characters this time round, Andrew Birkin's script takes in ideas of the rebirth of Christ, and given everything on display in this movie; it's clear that putting a script together wasn't an easy task. The film also features a sect that is against Damien, and as the Antichrist's powers have grown; he himself has decided to put together a coven of loyal worshippers, all of whom are more than willing to lay their lives down for his cause. The central plot idea takes form in Damien becoming the American Ambassador in Britain, a placement that allows him to put together his plan to murder all the baby boys born on the day of Christ's second coming; as one of them is said to be the son of God, and Damien's powers grow weaker all the time that he is alive! Sam Neill takes the lead role of The Antichrist himself, and given the two actors that went before him; he really does look the part. His acting is good too, as Neill convinces the audience that he really is dedicated to the cause as he continually professes that evil is a worthy cause. There isn't really a standout among the supporting cast, but it doesn't matter as Neill is clearly the star of the show. Oddly, given that this film was released in the eighties; a decade of trashy horror, the film features fewer and less graphic murder scenes than those seen in the first two films - and that brought it down for me as the grisly scenes in the first two movies provide many of the best bits. But even so; we've still got a man having his face burnt with an iron, and another smashing through a painted glass window; so all is not lost. The plot becomes a little wayward at times, and the film veers off a few times too often; but it's mostly entertaining and there's some nice religious themes thrown in. The ending is disappointing and doesn't fit with the tone of the series if you ask me; but to be honest I'm just pleased that this isn't a complete dead loss.

  Nowhere close to the first two films quality. The baby killing added a disturbing element to a mainly fright-free 2 hours, which was welcome, but I hated the ending! Still worth watching if you are a fan of the franchise.

  A step up from the second outing. Learning from it's predecessors mistakes part 3 throws out the whole investigation. No longer do people spend hours trying to convince others that Damian is the devil. It allows Sam Neil to spread his talented evil wings and show the forceful terror he has become. The downfall comes from the 7 priests whom set out to kill Damian. Their comical ineptness recalls the burglars from Home Alone. Add in some humorous sound effects and you have comedy gold. In contrast to this Damian and his clans murders of innocent babies is excellently shot. It comes off as a montage similar to those in gangster epics such as Godfather and Goodfellas. Each part is creepy, eerie and very unsettling. Still it's tasteful enough to allow us to use our imaginations rather than freaking us out with baby killings. A mixed but interesting selection that rounds off the trilogy pretty nicely, though the climax is sudden and disappointing.

  I damn near wet my pants laughing at one scene in this movie. It just killed any chance for it to be scary in any capacity: You know how any enemy of Damien's is magically plagued with preternaturally bad luck? Some guy on a catwalk gets tangled in a cable and swings upside-down by his ankle across a TV soundstage while Damien is being interviewed. Everyone's screaming and freaking out, while Damien is just sitting there staring at him, looking like a badass. The guy then gets somehow wrapped in plastic and set on fire, all while swinging back and forth. It was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. The rest of the movie wasn't bad, but its credibility just went out the window in that single scene.

  It isn't very scary or memorable compared to the first two parts of the Omen trilogy. Sam Neill does a really good job as a fully grown Damien but there's just too much talk and not enough action. The ending, although necessary, really does suck.

• Leo L

  
  Fantastic!

• Anthony V

  
  Script please. Although the statue Damien uses to pray to his father is hilarious.

• Haley A

  
  Sam Neill is awesome as Damien.
