Plot
14-year-old Damien (Jonathan Scott-Taylor) attends military school alongside his cousin, Mark (Lucas Donat), and spends lots of time with his adoptive parents,
Uncle Richard (William Holden) and Aunt Ann (Lee Grant). After the boy's Great Aunt Marion (Sylvia Sidney) tries to convince the Thorns that Damien is a
malevolent influence on Mark, she dies suddenly, and, unbeknownst to the family, horrifically.
Ravens, it seems, are the harbingers of Damien's power, and in addition to Aunt Marion,
they visit a long procession of characters who get too close to Damien's true identity.
