Omen III The Final Conflict: Damien is back for the third time to fulfill his destiny as the Anti Christ in this chilling installment of the Omen trilogy


Though Omen III shows minor improvements over it's awful predecessor. This is still a bad film but it's nowhere near as awful as it's predecessor but at least it had it's moments to beat it's predecessor. I seriously thought that this was gonna be a good movie but in the end it was a letdown and it could have been so much better once again. This movie still had the same faults and problems that Omen II had but at least it had several minor improvements over it's predecessor. I did enjoy Omen III's moments and this movie almost succeeds to beat it's awful predecessor and this movie isn't close to the original due to it's faults and problems once again faced in the film. To be honest there are some moments that didn't impressed me a lot in Omen III there are some but there are also some moments that didn't impress me in Omen III The Final Conflict so far. What's great about Omen III is that the film has a really good plot once again and like I said I like the plot of each film. In the original Omen we get to see Damien's birth. Omen II shows Damien's Rise To Power and finally Omen III shows Damien's Armageddon. I was really fund of the plot of each Omen movie and to be honest I like the plot of each Omen movie for one reason and the plot seriously intrigued me but the sequels could have done better for one reason. What I also like about Omen III is that the film also has an impressive soundtrack from composer Jerry Goldsmith and I like how Jerry Goldsmith composed the song for the last time in Omen III The Final Conflict and he seriously handled the film's score for the last time and I like how he handled the song one last time so far in this movie. What I also like about this movie is that the film is also full of improved kills over it's predecessor. The death of the first Monk who attempts to kill Damien with the Seven Daggers of Meggido is really tense and suspenceful and it is one of the most impressive kills I've seen in Omen III so far. While the death of the second Monk where the other two Monks thought that it was Damien Thorn and they stabbed him repeatedly with the daggers of Meggido is one of the most brutal kills in Omen III so far and I think it was pretty gory as well. While the death of the
other two Monks are also suspenceful and intense
as well. And the death of each baby born on March 24 is also suspenceful and disturbing as well and I think the death of each baby is just disturbing and creepy for one reason. While the best death scene in Omen III is the scene where Damien's assistant gets killed by getting hit with a hot iron in the face is one of the most gruesome deaths in Omen III so far. What I also like about Omen III is that the film is also full of twists and turns and I like how Peter who is Kate's son in the film turns into the apostle of the devil is a really great twist and it was kinda creepy so far. The biggest downside once again with Omen III is that the film still doesn't have the originality that the first film had and the lack of originality couldn't save the film for one reason. Other than that the film also doesn't have enough suspenceful scenes on certain parts of the film and everything about Omen III seriously goes down the hill due to the lack of suspense as well. Now the acting is great the performances of the casts in the movie is just great although I like how Sam Neil played Damien in the movie and he was kinda creepy in this film so far and he handled his performance quite well in this movie. Director Graham Baker at least handled his directing quite well with this film than what Don Taylor did with the second Omen movie and I also heard that Richard Donner was originally set to direct this movie but became the producer instead and at least Richard Donner didn't come back to direct this film so far because the Omen series seriously went down the hill after the original Omen. Overall Omen III is better than Omen II but it is still an awful movie and could have been so much better if it had the originality for one reason. I highly recommend The Asylum's low budget rip off of this movie titled 666 The Beast which is also a sequel to Asylum's 666 The Child if your interested to see a good sequel to The Omen. And this movie is only for those people who are suckers for the Omen trilogy.
