Solid horror film starring Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as the unfortunate parents of the Anti-Christ.  With Patrick Troughton as a priest and David Warner as a paparazzi who discovers dark premonitions in his photographs and tries to warn Peck.  Several of its horror scenes have become iconic, including a spectacular beheading.  Weakened only by the lack of a clear antagonist:  Damien, the boy, behaves mostly like any other five year old kid, leaving it to the Devil himself to work his evil from off-screen.  Greatly superior to the novelization, also written by David Seltzer.
