The red-eyed priest’s visit to Peck’s office is nominated.
The argument with the nanny and Damien’s terrified approach to the church are nominated.
The Windsor Safari scene is nominated; the animals’ fear suggests an unheard threat.
The new nanny arriving without being requested is recalled as another effective early scene.
The priest’s death in the storm is praised for its photography and use of London.
Damien knocking his mother over the railing and the cemetery discovery with attacking Rottweilers are nominated.
