STARRING:
Kirk Douglas, Agostina Belli, Simon Ward, Anthony Quayle,
Virginia McKenna, Alexander Knox
1977, 102 Minutes, Directed by: Alberto de Martino
Description:This Italian/UK co-production is also known
as THE CHOSEN. Robert Caine (Kirk Douglas, who rightly seems embarrassed to be
in this movie.) is an American entrepreneur and businessman who is finally
seeing his life's biggest ambition realized- the building of a nuclear power
plant in an Arab state. But those involved in the project start dying violent
deaths. Why? A priest manages to offer Caine the most rational explanation:
Caine's son Nigel (Simon Ward) is the Antichrist who wants to use nuclear
weapons to annihilate the world; and to make matters worse, Caine's sexy
girlfriend (Agostina Belli) is pregnant with another potential devil's child. —

Spaghetti clone of The Omen in which several nuclear reactor plants
fits into the Anti-Christ's plans for world domination (a bit like Mr. Burns of
The Simpsons I suppose). Kirk
Douglas tries his best, but he really cannot rise above the
mediocre script and story.
