Damien: Omen II

(1978) ***

Damien, now aged 13, is being raised by his uncle and aunt and cousin. He attends military school, where he learns of his true identity and his purpose in life. Once again, all that oppose him die, even his cousin who decides not to join him in his adolescent apocalypse. I guess the rottweilers get a break in this one..the crows are taking over. Oh, I forgot to mention in the first one, there is a great musical score. Actually the whole series has great,creepy music and was written by Academy Award winner, Jerry Goldsmith. There are some cool deaths in this one too!New uncle and auntie, played by William Holden and Lee Grant.New Platoon leader, played by Lance Henriksen! :)
Lavender smelling Aunt Marion sees a crow and has a heart attack...The Maitland's from Beetlejuice will have to find a new rep...
The reporter found out who Damien is..now she has a new squawking hat.
Sliced in half, the doctor is out...no more "Hollywood"from Mannequin.Even this poor guy gets killed..

so they're all dead? does that mean they never went on to star in the movies they later starred in?

Squawking hat, yes!

I haven't watched this in a while but I recall it appealing to me. I think because of the scene in which Damien is surrounded by girls at some party, enjoying his Hellborn charisma before knowing that he's the Antichrist. Seems like a good time.
