Amazon.com:
After The Exorcist sparked a lengthy trend of supernatural thrillers, this 1976 horror film scored a hit with critics and audiences for mixing gothic horror and mystery into its plot about a young boy suspected of being the personification of the anti-Christ. (No doubt it's a favorite of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.) Directed by Richard Donner (best known for his Superman and Lethal Weapon films), The Omen gained a lot of credibility from the casting of Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a distinguished American couple living in England, whose young son Damien bears "the mark of the beast." Mysterious deaths and unexplained incidents draw the attention of a photographer (David Warner), whose investigation leads to the young boy--and also to the photographer's shocking decapitation (in a scene that has since been inducted into the horror hall of fame). At a time when graphic gore had yet to dominate the horror genre, this film used its violence discreetly and to great effect, and the mood of dread and potential death is masterfully maintained. It's all a bit hokey, with a lot of biblical portent and sensational fury, but few would deny it's highly entertaining. Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score works wonders to enhance the movie's creepy atmosphere. --Jeff Shannon




Rating: - THE OMEN
I have marked 1 star, otherwise I can't go on with this procedure. But the truth is I can't rate "The Omen" at all, because I could never play it. Blu-Rays from Fox are always so tricky and so slow to load (why is that, when Warner or Columbia Blu-rays, for instance, are so easy and fast?) that I was'nt wandering why it was taking about ten minutes to get the main menu on screen. But when I cliked "Play", the menu dissappeared, but the image on the backgroung kept playing, and playing, and playing ... Read More

Rating: - Disappointing by aging
Creepy: "When the Jews return to Zion / And a comet rips the sky / And the Holy Roman Empire rises, / Then You and I must die. / From the eternal sea he rises, / Creating armies on either shore, / Turning man against his brother / 'Till man exists no more." Fake quotation from the Bible of some Yeats-like poem, hardly supported by the Book of Revelation. Apart from that bigot filiation to texts that are absolutely transcending in their inspiration and here reduced to some superstitious unfounded belief. ... Read More

Rating: - THE OMEN - Really Good Horror Film of 1976
The Omen was a good four star horror film that I saw in 1976 which had an excellent story and good special effects. The gated cemetary guarded by hounds from hell was fantastic, and as far as atmosphere and pure horror this scene was on a par with the old Universal movies. The musical score was very effective at establishing the mood for the film.

What I don't understand was the absolute rave that came out of Hollywood for this film at the academy awards which had dozens of dancers on stage ... Read More

Rating: - Classic Horror
The Omen is remastered in this DVD 2 disc set and looks fabulous. DVD extra features gives the backstory to the "curse" of The Omen during filming. One particular documentary covers the entire series. I loved it and am very happy to have this in my horror/thriller collection.

Rating: - A Classic
"The Omen" is one of those few, infact very few realistic horror films. A story that is based on a real fact. Excellent chemistry between Greggory Peck and Lee Remick, the romantic score by Jerry Goldsmith is simply delightfull. Billie Whitelaw was fabulous as the evil Governess, she was very expressive and done her part really well. David Warner as usual gives his best performence. Last but not the least the child Harvey Stephens does very well, the evil expressions that easily potrayed from the little child. ... Read More
