Synopsis
Diplomat Robert Thorn, faced with the news that his newborn child has died, is met by a priest who presents Thorn with another child born that night, whose mother died in childbirth. As the child turns five, many unsettling events begin to occur. Enter Mrs. Baylock, Damien's new nanny, who seems to have a preordained devotion to the child. Then tragedy strikes closer to home. But only later does Thorn comprehend the truth: his son is no ordinary child; he is the long-prophesied Anti-Christ. Now, Thorn must make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the unspeakable terror that awaits the world.

4 / 10 Strangely lifeless retelling, with lots of dull, greyish colours. The original version is better by far. There really was very little point to this film.
My Movie Rating: 4 / 10 Very close to the original but the original is, as usual, much better. This one does, however, look good and have a few fresh ideas, some of which I quite liked, though others may dislike them. One major drawback here is that this Damien is openly malevolent, as opposed to 1976s Damien: it's never clear how much that one understands of what is going on and the part he is to play in it, and that's one of the 1976 version's strengths. Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick cropped up again in 2015 as the lead in a low-budget but surprisingly good short film called After School, about a boy secretly in love with his male best friend.
