Rating: 3.5/4 --
One of the finest horror films of the 1970s.

Film Frenzy
Richard Donner has narrated this horrifying story in a humdrum style that only at times reaches acceptable levels, thanks to Gil Taylor's cinematography and the anonymous labor of the special effects technicians. [Full Review in Spanish]

5 stars out of 5 -- Donner's film deftly delves into Christian mythology, constructing a fantastically tall and creepy tale...
Ultimate DVD
Richard Donner directs more for speed than mood, but there are a few good shocks.

Rating: 6/10 --
Much of the film is terrific, unnerving stuff; but much of it is kind of loopy and much too silly to take even a little seriously.

Antagony & Ecstasy
A member of the Exorcist family, it is a dreadfully silly film, which is not to say that it is totally bad.

Richard Donner's direction is taut. Players all are strong.

Product Description:
A staid American ambassador (Peck) and his wife are heartbroken when their child is stillborn, but their heartbreak is only beginning when they adopt an orphan. As the boy grows, disaster surrounds him, beginning with the suicide of his nanny, and as the bodies pile up, his horrified father begins to believe that the boy is evil incarnate and must be destroyed. The unique climax paved the way for two popular sequels, "Damien - Omen II" and "Final Conflict."
