The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps
Director Graham Baker has little gift for atmosphere, and apart from one inspired sequence, I suspect I'll forget every aspect of this movie in a couple of days. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
A terrific opening. But, alas, the moment The Final Conflict turns to dialogue and a plot, it loses its inspiration. Read full review

EmpireIan Nathan
Unfortunately, half the time this feels more like an Omen parody than a chance to give it a great send off. Read full review

The New York TimesJanet Maslin
In the cast are many, many dogs, who are charmed by Damien in a way no audience is likely to be. Read full review

Time Out
It does mark a return of sorts to the stylishness of The Omen after the tackiness of Damien - Omen II. Read full review

TV Guide MagazineStaff (Not Credited)
A dumb end to a dumb series of movies that, in retrospect, play like the paranoid ramblings of a religious fundamentalist who sees unholy anti-Christian conspiracies behind every world event. Read full review

Washington PostGary Arnold
There's sure nothing purgative about the kind of anxiety the filmmakers are exploiting. If anything, it condemns them to strictly degenerate company. [24 Mar 1981, p.B8]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay Scott
Graham Baker, a British director of television commercials, makes a debut that is technically auspicious, and Robert Paynter and Phil Meheux, the cinematographers, have approximated the rich, chocolaty chiaroscuro of The Godfather saga. Does anyone care? [24 Mar 1981]

NewsweekDavid Ansen
Not only the silliest chapter in the Omen trilogy, it's the dullest and most inept. [30 Mar 1981, p.83]
