Review of Omen IV: The Awakening (1991) by Rob R — 09 Jan 2010

OmenIV: Cheap exploitative TV fun with poor acting and evil little girl thrown into a plot blender! The result? Over ripe unsubtle repetition. 2.2/10.

With Omen 4, the early 90's TV attempt to reboot a franchise and rake in money, you have essentially the same rehash again and quite frankly I'm fucking tired of reviewing these no brainers. Apart from evil bitch Delia herself (whose acting I have to say is alot more convincing than any of the Damiens past or present) everything else completely misses the mark. With half a plot about some nun turned prostitute turned new age priest its comprehensible that the makers had no idea what they were doing, and seemed like a parent who asks a child what sweet they want. The child replies 'Haribo' no wait wait 'Skittles' etc Too many ideas have been hurled into this mixing vat of movie vomit and stirred until a watery pungent mess intoxicates you and leaves you feeling rather poignant. Omen 4 is not the worst film ever made, because it remains a mildly entertaining TV effort. I put emphasis on TV because proper films with a proper budget have made a bigger crater than this (Babylon AD). Overall Delia's childish absolute bitchness as well as some poorly executed death sequences equate Omen 4 to receiving 1 star, which is better than nothing. Right?

Rated (15): Contains Unrealistic Nuns in Graphic Detail from the start.

Final Score:22/100.
