He will destroy the world. No man can stop him. No man will even try. He is The Chosen. Ignoring the ancient warnings, a wealthy industrialist (Kirk Douglas) builds a controversial nuclear power plant in the Middle East, triggering an apocalyptic prophecy that reveals his son is the Antichrist, and the tyke’s hellbent on global nuclear destruction. Holocaust 2000 is a grim and totally gonzo Italian horror knockoff of The Omen, scored by Ennio Morricone and helmed by Alberto De Martino, director of The Antichrist and Strange Shadows in an Empty Room.

“If you like cleft chins, Italian rip-offs, the satanic seventies or all of the above, pray to the antichrist that this flick falls into your life.” – Kindertrauma
