the sequel to the 1976 horror classic - and it’s still an alright movie, but just doesn’t seem to recapture what made the original omen so effective. it somehow feels a lot sillier but also a lot less entertaining than the creepy prior film, which had many iconic moments. here, the main thing going for it is the kills - with the elevator and also the crow scenes - probably gorier and maybe even more creative death sequences. the change from dogs to crows could’ve been done a lot better, but i felt the crows were heavily underutilised throughout. i like how its a continuation of the life of damien - the snowy setting is cool, and the first act is quite good, but unfortunately it just felt slow-paced and even dull in some areas
