"obert Thorn (Gregory Peck), an American diplomat stationed in Rome, learns his son died during birth. Unknown to his unconscious wife, Katherine (Lee Remick), Robert adopts an orphaned newborn at the suggestion of the hospital's Catholic priest, Father Spiletto (Martin Benson). Naming him Damien, Robert and Katherine raise the boy. Five years later, Robert is named Ambassador to the United Kingdom and settles in a large estate just outside London. However, a series of disturbing events begin with the suicide of the estate's nanny during the birthday party of Damien (Harvey Spencer Stephens)."
This film features some of the most iconic horror movie scenes that you may have seen newer horror movies or parodies. I didn't like the mother very much but i felt like everyone else was good and entertaining to watch. The story was good, quite clever if I say so. It would have been great to see this film when it first came out but I wasn't even alive then. The deaths start early but there is more in the later half of the film. Features some pretty nice kills with some nice shots, as well as good direction. They don't make horror movies like this one anymore.
3/5
