TTTT'Omen

Damian dead? Not a problem, let's do the first movie again... but this time with a girl!

A couple, where the husband has political aspirations, adopt a child. The child grows up, with weird things around her, and eventually the mother comes to view her with suspicion (and jumps to the Book of Revelations rather quickly). After some random deaths that... actually are the child's fault, the mother finds herself pregnant, and wants the child to stay away from potentially harming the new baby. Eventually she finds the truth that (deep breath) the child, Delia, is the child of Damian, and is carrying the fetus of her twin brother inside her, which the doctor transplants to the mother, to give birth to the new antichrist, which isn't Delia but Alexander, and the mother tries to stop them, but hey this is the Omen movies... (it's a very busy 10 minutes at the end).

Delia is so more active over dealing with people than Damian ever was. With Damian, it felt like there was another force keeping an eye on him and killing others, whereas here Delia is very much the one killing people. And more power to her! This movie is basically a retake on the first (and a little of the second) movie, and this is so much better! I don't know if they learnt from the previous movies, or just had a better script writer, but this movie works on Delia as a devil child more than Damian ever had.

Faye Grant does good work as the mother, and Michael Learner owns the scenes he is in. Hey, that's Don S. Davis in around two minutes of screen time. Even Asia Vieira as Delia isn't a terrible child actor and plays her part well too!

This clearly set up the next part of the ongoing series, and there is no need to do anything silly like reboot the series (yes I know what the next movie is).
