Damien2016

Unfortunately, the premiere is more depressing than scary, often feeling as if we're being sucked slowly into quicksand.

Not bad if it’s your thing.

Damien has moments of nicely spooky atmospherics, but it’s neither scary nor fun, and when you’re dealing with this topic and this character, you have to move in one of those two directions, or you’ll just lose the battle to the devil of tedium.
