Just watched this today, and i figured where the story was going from the outset as we know it is an origins tale. So this is an out and out prequel to the first and set out on who Damien came to be. Its a very slow start but you just know where the story is going, its also not as scary as The Omen the reason being the sound track. In The Omen you have more foreboding music which inself sends shivers down your spine. The film itself tries to implement the odd jump out of your seat moment but to be honest you are expecting them so they lack the element of surprise. There are however a few references to The Omen itself in a couple of scenes and the movie wraps up rather nicely at the end. It is well acted and not visually too dark which with Horror movies i dislike as i do like to see what is going on.
