I joke with the people who know and love me by calling this film my namesake. After all, it is right? (My first name being Damien) Rewatching this classic horror film was amazing. I saw so many subtle influences on later films through the decades. Chill with me as I dissect the film. Oh and you get a bonus: the audio from the original trailer. Thanks for listening.
