 
Damien
Thorn (Sam Neill) is now full grown and
an ambassador in Italy and has helped
rescue the world from a recession,
appearing to be a benign corporate
benefactor.
While waiting to be a U.S. Ambassador to
England, Damien fulfills a terrifying
biblical prophecy.
People end up taking their own lives
wherever Damien's surroundings.
Priests who know about Damien plan on
killing him with daggers which is the
only weapon that can put an end to him
but he uses his powers to stop them.
He then becomes romantically linked to a
journalist named Kate Reynolds (Lisa
Harrow) who is a single mother to a child
named Peter (Barnaby Holm) as Peter
himself becomes attached to Damien as he
has evil plans for him.
A man named DeCarlo (Rossano Brazzi)
tries to rescue Kate and his son from
Damien's evil wrath since he knew Damien
all his life.
The story is very
slow in the beginning and nowhere as good
as the first two but it does get better
and is quite well done for what the movie
is worth.
It's a little different by every means
but it is still very dark and disturbing.
The acting is well
performed by everyone that participated
in this film.
Sam O'Neill proved worthy as the
adult Damien since he does well at
portraying a deceivingly all around
descent and nice guy but also does great
by showing his cold evil side too.
Rossano Brazzi seems to be good as a
mysterious one who followed Damien's life
and has great seriousness to his
character.
Don Gordon stands out well as
Damien's assistant and makes a nice
character to his part in the film.
Lisa Harrow plays a nice journalist
and single mother in the film.
Young actor Barnaby Holm looked
good in his role and almost was
convincing as a younger Damien in the
film which he was slowly turning out to
be in the film which he does well at.
Lisa Harrow
briefly shows her breasts and butt while
crawling out of a bed.
A person's head is
shot with his blood splattered against
the wall.
A man is burnt to a crisp
A guys face is badly scarred by a hot
clothing iron
Graham Baker
was a little slow with his direction till
halfway through the film and then he knew
how to drive it really disturbing,
frightening and intense.
We see a good moment that involves a
supporting actor played by Robert
Arden as he walks through a park and
encounters a rottweiler and then is
seeming hypnotised while carrying on
lleading to his suicide.
Both Sam Neill and Lisa
Harrow perform well off one another
as it leads to many creepy moments with
them together.
We get to see neat effects taking place
at an abandoned tower with lightning etc.
against two actors trying to destroy
Damien which is the best directorial
efforts by Baker showing great shots on
the surroundings there.
There is a great picture shot on Neill
riding a horse with dogs running
along for a fox hunt and then shows nice
evil expressions against two cast
memebers who try to kill him.
Neill also does a great speech to
his cult of people to try and take over
things and then there's great and intense
moments with the people who are doing
events like baptising or some accidents
going on. It really looks disturbing.
We see a nice dialogue between Harrow
and Rossano Brazzi while
being confronted about who Damien really
is.
We spot real intense and great camera
effects surrounding Neill during
his final moment too.
Superb composing by
the artist Jerry Goldsmith as he has done
the same for the last two films. He has
great chanting in the film giving a great
adrenaline. This guy is the one.
Kate Reynolds: And
who is this... Antichrist?
DeCarlo: The American Ambassador,
Damien Thorn.
Kate Reynolds: [laughs]
That's ridiculous. I know Damien Thorn.
DeCarlo: You know Thorn the man...
but do you know his soul?
DeCarlo: Every child
still living born between those hours is
in mortal danger if, indeed, he has not
already been killed.
Kate Reynolds: Are you suggesting
they've been murdered?
DeCarlo: No, no, I am not. I'm
stating it as a fact.
Kate Reynolds: But who on Earth
would do such a thing?
DeCarlo: He is born again. And so
is the Antichrist - the son of Satan - as
foretold in the Book of Revelation.
Kate Reynolds: I'm sorry, Father.
Look, I do respect your faith but I don't
share it.
DeCarlo: You are not a practicing
Christian.
Kate Reynolds: No, I'm a
practicing journalist. And one of the
first rules of journalism is to be a
doubting Thomas. I need to see evidence
with my own two eyes.
DeCarlo: All right, here is your
evidence. Check that for yourself.
Damien Thorn:
Nazarene, charlatan, what can you offer
humanity? Since the hour you vomited
forth from the gaping wound of a woman,
you have done nothing but drown man's
soaring desires in a deluge of
sanctimonious morality. You've inflamed
the pubertal mind of youth with your
repellent dogma of original sin. And now
you absolve in denying them the ultimate
joy beyond death by destroying me ? But
you will fail, Nazarene, as you have
always failed. We were both created in
man's image, but while you were born of
an impotent god, I was concieved of a
jackal. Born of Satan, the desolate one.
Your pain on the cross was but a splinter
compared to the agony of my father. Cast
out of heaven, the fallen angel,
banished, reviled. I will drive deeper
the thorns into your rancid carcass, you
profaner of vices. Cursed Nazarene.
Satan, I will avenge thy torment, by
destroying the Christ forever.
Damien Thorn: Oh my
Father, Lord of Silence, Supreme God of
Desolation, though mankind reviles yet
aches to embrace, strengthen my purpose
to save the world from a second ordeal of
Jesus Christ and his grubby mundane
creed. Show man instead the raptures of
Thy kingdom. Infuse in him the grandeur
of melancholy, the divinity of
loneliness, the purity of evil, the
paradise of pain.
Damien Thorn: I now
command you to seek out and destroy the
Nazarene child. Slay the Nazarene... and
I shall reign forever. Fail... and I
perish.
