The premise
Immediately after their miscarriage, the US diplomat Robert Thorn adopts the newborn Damien without the knowledge of his wife. Yet what he doesn’t know is that their new son is the son of the devil.
Horror Vault's take
When a powerful American diplomat quietly arranges an adoption to spare his wife from grief, he has no reason to question the cherubic boy he brings home — at first. As strange deaths and disturbing incidents begin to cluster around the child, whispered warnings from a desperate priest and a haunted photographer force the father to confront a truth that could shatter his faith, his family, and his world. With mounting dread and a legendary orchestral score, this 1976 classic set the gold standard for satanic horror cinema.
