The premise

Since the sudden and suspicious deaths of his parents, young Damien has been in the charge of his wealthy aunt and uncle and enrolled in a military school. Widely feared to be the Antichrist, he relentlessly plots to seize control of his uncle's business empire — and the world.

Horror Vault's take

Now a teenager enrolled in a rigid military academy, Damien begins to grasp the full, terrifying scope of his true nature as dark forces continue to clear a path for his rise. Under the guardianship of his affluent aunt and uncle — blissfully unaware of what they are harboring — Damien sets his sights on something far greater than adolescence. This atmospheric sequel to the 1976 original trades suburban dread for institutional menace and high-stakes power plays, as those who stand in the boy's way meet increasingly grim fates.
