Overview
When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
Absolutely dreadful mess of a film which is entirely predictable from the start, even when it thinks it is being clever.
By the time early on in the film when a nightclub is playing Daddy Cool by Boney M….in 1971 (feel free to look up when Boney M released their second single), I just chuckled, and realised I was in for a long, very excruciatingly bad ride, scattered with far too many attempts at jump scares. Let’s not dwell on the whole fashion and styles of mid 70s clothing that permeate this early 79s setting – I know that the Italians are supposedly ahead of the rest of the world in style, but this stretches credibility.
All style and screeching, and barely any substance. Does for The Omen franchise what Exorcist: Believer did for that one.
