Damien Audience Reviews

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
jtungsten16 Yes I'm writing this message April 8, 2017 because I'm still watching the series, even after it's off of the air, because of the rubbish on television now! I am watching a perfect show that was canceled and never had a chance. You can tell by watching this amazing show that they really cared about the fans and I'm just really upset that there is not going to be a season 2. The writing, acting, directing and the music on this show was top notch. The cinematography was amazing, the whole look of the show was incredible. Perhaps this show needed another network? I don't really get why this show is canceled. Damien will always live on in my household and I really hope they at least give the show a DVD! It's only been a year since it's been canceled and there still isn't a DVD please at least give us true fans that. Thank you
mikkel-winther What does this show want to deliver? A story of the Antichrist in human form coming to terms with who he is at the age of 30.From what I know of The Omen, it wants to deliver shock and horror with jump scares. Something that just doesn't really attach itself well to the story of how the world ends. The way the show is made does nothing to offer repair to such an unhappy marriage of themes.It could have been an eerie telling of a man coping with a destiny he does not want, but it gets completely overshadowed by all the different factions and alliances that attempt to push him in different directions. There are simply too many characters pushed down the rabbit hole for any of their experiences and reflections to feel distinguishable and interesting.There's little to no real symbolism and the relationship between the characters introduced seem like that of any modern day television show. The witty down-to-earth co-worker, the random girl the protagonist gets to protect, the shady family friend in politics, etc. What is worse is that they all fade in and out of the story when they are needed for plot development. There's little nuance to any of the characters. Even Damien starts out as just a regular guy wanting nothing to do with it, and at some point he starts randomly switching between being psychotic and being his normal self. Towards the end of the season the screen writer seems to think the viewer will fall for it, if he keeps showing Damien in a position where he's just about to tip and "join the dark side" as it were, but it doesn't ever truly feel like an option, because of the way the character is built.This show should have doubled down on what it feels like to be Damien. Instead it lumps together almost all clichés in the horror genre and hopes for the best. The pacing should have been slower, the character development more important, and the politics at play could have been portrayed in a better way. Less oddly inconsistent assassins from the Vatican and more random encounters between Damien and regular people. Show me a rising distortion that edges towards the realization that this is not just a man we're dealing with.The 5 stars I gave because it isn't an all together bad show. But it makes sense to cancel it. It wasn't a story of the beginning of the end, and it wasn't a personal story of how it feels to be the sad devil. And it had to be either of those, rather than a poor attempt at a mix.
roguecritic42 I was expecting this series to be true to its name and genre. You would expect supernatural things. I mean the antichrist all grown up. Remember how sadistic that little kid Damien was?Well unfortunately this show fails to deliver anything worth my time. It's more geared towards a down-to-earth version of the antichrist, very little emphasis on the supernatural. More of a show about morality and it's gray areas. I don't have anything against the casting or acting. It's just the plot is so boring and weak. It deserves at least a 6/10 because the cast performs their job well and the show is put together well. The issue is the show fails to deliver to its target audience.
hippiefishbeachart Damien was a great idea to do as a show. This show ticks all the boxes for me. Would of liked more episodes. Less Ann Rutledge and more about the followers of Damien. I would like more good vs evil battles and more involvement from the Vatican. I would especially like to see more of what the devil can do? How he spends his time and the power he has. I hope there is a second season after all this build up. Please let us know.Absolutely LOVE THE OPENING MUSIC! If anyone has details please let me know.Please also sign up for another season !
