No, the central problem is that the film, for all its gothic iconography and moody lighting, is a silly bore. Indeed, Damien (mostly played by young Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) seems more autistic than demonic, while the moments of devilish mayhem are belabored: fiendish and brutal, yet dull and numbing. ...
