MCT:May 11, 2008Im not the biggest fan of horror movies. Its one of those genres that I think really ran out of steam after the release of the terrifying classics that are Psycho, Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist. Since then all we've been left with are no-substance slashers and attempts by failed pop icons to reinvigorate their careers. Once and a while a film comes along that scares the #@!% out of you (The Ring, admittedly, made me afraid of the dark for days) but on the whole, there's only so much you can do with horror before all the creative juice is sapped out of it. Unfortunately true Gothic Horror has been laid to rest while its spawn, the zombie thriller, continues to stalk theaters across the country. But, that being said, I do like a good scare so I decided to give The Omen a try.
Just by reading the synopsis I realized that this film wouldent tread any new ground. The Anti-Christ/Demonic possession plot has already been laid out by the aformentioned R's Baby and The Exor. The Omen is more like the bastard child of these two greats, borrowing elements from both but never adding elements of its own. At no time during this movie was I really frightened because I knew what to expect. The one unsettling scene was when the nanny hangs herself at Damion's birthday party.
Dont get me wrong though, its a solid film with descent acting and if your a fan of horror its a must see. On the whole though its a mediocre sum of the parts of all the great classics that came before it. -
MCT:May 11, 2008It has very creative death scenes,and is very strong in the themathic.The ending is fantastic and couldn't have been done better.

Such an interesting idea that could have been better...or maybe it's just dated, I don't know. There are several haunting moments, like the graveyard reveal, the reverend frightened of an eternity in hell, the devilish nanny and the excellent score by Jerry Goldsmith; none the less I still think that Gregory Peck (excellent actor) was miscast and the pacing of the movie is atrocious. This is a pretty high score for a movie that I don't really care for.

MCT:May 5, 2008this being the original, is better, but its very easy to not fully get into it. peck is pretty cool tho. no denying that.

MCT:April 26, 2008Not really a fan of the demonic, evil-child, end-of-the-world as we know it movies, but it is a little creepy when you compare it political figures you know.
