This is one of the best horror movies I ever watched. Story of birth of evil, Jesus' antithesis and it's placement into rich and influential family of ambassador Thorn is blood curling and terrifying from the start to the end. So when I came across the novel I had to pick it up.
Depiction of infiltration of evil into human society and protection provided to the creature by various daemons draws parallels to Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin. But here it makes more sense because level of placement is very important. Here Damien is placed within a powerful and rich family from the very start. From this high level he is able to continue with his dark tasks.
Book is basically novelization of the movie (author was also scenario writer for the movie) and it is one of the better ones, I might even say on the level of Odyssey 2001 novelization.
Pace is fast and there is no padding, every word, every page plays a part in the story. Once you start reading it you wont be able to stop until the very end.
All the major plot elements from the movie are present and expanded. Only difference is that some names are changed (Thorn is named Jeremy here, but in movie his name is Robert if I remember correctly).
Ending must be the most terrifying ending ever, on screen or off screen.
Excellent horror thriller. Highly recommended.
