It's impossible to spoil this one.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers? Can't be done. Damien the AntiChrist boy hits puberty. People he doesn't like die. The movie ends. There are no plot twists to give away: the whole thing is as formulaic as an infomercial, and not nearly as entertaining. This is one of those bad movies that couldn't even be made into a decent episode of MST3K.

You gotta feel for William Holden, who made this just two years after the career comeback of a lifetime in "Network." He's too much of a professional not to try, but he has nothing to try with.

All of the factors that made the The Omen work are missing here, especially the cinematography, which is flat and unappealing. Save yourself the rental fee and catch a "Golden Girls" marathon on cable instead: it will be three times as interesting as this muddled mess.
