Review of The Omen (1976) by Andrea M — 15 Apr 2011
I saw this a few months ago for the first time. Wouldn't go back and watch it again, but I did think it had some strong elements that fit it's genre well. Horror films are not my favorite, but I do think that there are few which contain interesting stories and moral understanding...some end up killing the plot and theme with blatant horror imagery or throwing a curve ball with the theme. In other words you think you understand where the film is going, but it turns out to be something else.
Anyway I thought this film borders between the two extremes, but is more in favor of the latter.
