Holocaust 2000 (1977)


American International Pictures
Directed by Alberto De Martino
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
(DVD, Lionsgate)

Industrialist Kirk Douglas plans to build a nuclear power plant in the desert of a country in the Middle East. His plans are thwarted by visions of a mythical beast and warnings of the apocalypse. They all turn out to be true when his son is revealed to be the Antichrist. Blatant rip-off of The Omen with gory Italian violence influences that sicken rather than shock. Kirk is in full-on goofy mode, just like in Saturn 3, and his naked nightmares are just plain silly.
