The Omen (Two-Disc Collector's Edition) description
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 |

HE HAS NOT BEEN SICK HAS HE...NOT A COUGH OR EVEN A COLD?

That's because Greggy he is the son of the DEVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Omen 1976 is a TRUE MASTERPIECE OF HORROR!!! I am not going into
detail of the story to many people have.What I wanted to say was
that I gave this DIAMOND in a rough of HORROR another viewing.
Yousee I have some AMAZON friends who really think this movie
is overrated and one that dare I say it(YES CLINT,DARE! DARE!)
thinks it sucks???????? I rented The Omen 06 the other night to
compare films,first off where is that Jerry Goldsmith HAUNTING
OSCAR winning score??? The music was crap! Also in the beginning
titles of the 76 Omen you have Damien with his hands in his pockets
his arms winged out which makes his shadow form a upside down cross
VERY EFFECTIVE VISION! Also the death scenes are effective unlike
The Crappin 06!!! Mrs. Baylock in the 76 version was CREEPY looking
06 you have Mia Farra the women next door look??? Not creepy at all
you can argue that why would you want someone CREEPY watching your
son. Good point you would'nt but this is The Omen and not Home Alone.
I cannot phantom how some say this is O.K.??? but movies like THE
SHINING-TEXAS CHAINSAW-NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD-THE EXORCIST and
HALLOWEEN are MASTERPIECES,THEY ARE!! But so is The Omen and it
deserves it's place with those MASTERPIECES. The Omen has everything
that a well made HORROR movie needs,it has GREAT directing,acting
and some REAL great kills the decapatation scene is FANTASTIC!
Mrs.Baylock getting the dinner ware STUCK in her should fill
any D'AMATO,FULCHI & SAVINI'S fans plate! Also for me personally
and this is a BOLLLLD STATEMENT but after seeing this the other day
I have to say THE OMEN has my fav. ending in a HORROR FILM!!!!!!!!!
The closeup and then DAMIEN'S SNEER ANGRY FACE..JUST TO LIGHT UP
TO A DEVILISH GRIN and then the film fades to black and shows a
page from the bible to the credits and MAJOR SCORE is-is KAIPELLA!
~~~~SO CREE SAY BEE BOO SAN TOO SAY BEE BOO SO CREE SAY BEE BOO~~~
HAIL HELL THE OMEN ONE OF OUR GREATEST HORROR FILMS EVER!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: My fav.scene is when the Thorns are driving to church.
The look on Damien's face and the CHILLING score is priceless.
What ever happened to lil Harvey Stephens I like to know??? |
