Neill is fire and brimstone incarnate, but he can't seem to seal the deal.

The Omen trilogy comes to a close with this expectedly uneven installment...

The gas had pretty much run out of the Omen franchise by the time of this second sequel, and yet THE FINAL CONFLICT is quite an interesting film ...

The Omen III is a decent demonic thriller, but it's not the Beelzebub's knees.

The third best of the Omen films, but still a satisfying conclusion to a great trilogy.

...the moment The Final Conflict turns to dialogue and a plot, it loses its inspiration.

The bad news is that Damien has a whole movie to get through before he gives up the ghost, and that the movie is a grisly one.

The Final Conflict, from 1981, is really quite a bad movie, not actually awful enough to ever have achieved cult status...
