'The Omen' 1976

In the 1976 horror film The Omen, "Damien" (Harvey Spencer Stephens) is the son of the devil. However, his diplomat parents have no idea what his real identity is. When they find out who he really is, they are quickly killed. The American President, who is a good friend of "Damien's" adoptive parents, takes the boy in. In the last scene, "Damien" is smiling devilishly into the camera at his adoptive parent's funeral. The original ending was a happier one, in which he was defeated!
