Trashy, predictable, horribly acted disaster of a horror drama which follows Damien's rise to the ranks as a teenager. Though one is accustomed to rooting for evil to triumph over good, in this movie the poor good guys are so hopelessly outnumbered that sympathy for once does lie with the benign saintly types.

The cast is a deceptively strong and seasoned one, quite surprising giving the overall ineptness of the feature and the relatively low production values. The film is not entirely unenjoyable in a brainless, camp sort of way. Part 3 of the trilogy makes this look like a Cannes prize winner!
