Review of The Omen (1976) by Russell G — 06 Oct 2014
This was a dark and unsettling movie. Gregory Peck is perfect in the lead role, and the 70's camera work and effects are ideal for conveying the chilling mood. The little boy is definitely creepy; his babysitter might be even creepier.
The soundtrack does a great job of enhancing the ominous mood. I do wish that there were a stronger effort to tie in biblical prophecies, but it at least it makes some use of these. Overall, it is a well-crafted scary movie with good suspense, strong acting, and has more of storytelling skills to offer than most of the horror genre.
