The Final Conflict is just okay. Young Sam Neill (as Damien Thorn) overacts his way through this film which ends anticlimactically. Although it was advertised as the final film, the producers had planned on making a fourth entry, but this wasThe Final Conflict is just okay.

The positive is the special effects and death scenes here are brilliant.… Expand

I've always remembered this chapter fondly but upon revisiting it although I really enjoyed it, it just doesn't hold up to the first two films.

That being said a handsome Sam Neil (Jurassic Park) is great in the lead as a grown up Damien looking to plot his evil way into the White House. Unfortunately the death set pieces are pretty non existent and the all wrapped up ending feels rushed and goofy. Still there's much to enjoy here but it's definitely more on a psychological level than a visceral one. Unlike the first two films which were a great combination of both.

Budget: $5m

Sam Neill is great, the score is beautiful, and the story concept is interesting. That said, the pacing, side characters, and basically everything else (including the ending) needed improvements.

L’épisode final de la Malédiction avec un jeune premier dans le rôle du fils de Satan, Sam Neill ! il y est inquiétant à souhait et sournoisement machiavélique mais doit néanmoins porter tout le poids du film sur ses épaules… ainsi que leL’épisode final de la Malédiction avec un jeune premier dans le rôle du fils de Satan, Sam Neill ! il y est inquiétant à souhait et sournoisement machiavélique mais doit néanmoins porter tout le poids du film sur ses épaules… ainsi que le poids d’un scénario qui part en morceaux et qui confine à une naïveté régulièrement teintée de ridicule.

La musique de Jerry Goldsmith fait encore le boulot mais la mise en scène molle et le rythme globalement apathique finissent par nous détacher complètement d’une histoire qui devrait pourtant atteindre son apogée…

Or, il n’en est rien, car entre la crédibilité sérieusement mise à mal et l’ennui qui plombe inexorablement le film, on se fout de qui passe la ligne d’arrivée en premier. Le prince non pas des ténèbres mais de l’ennui sans aucun doute !… Expand
