Review of The Omen (1976) by Black R — 10 Nov 2011
Richard Donner shows how to make a real horror film. 1976's "The Omen" is a classic that still sparks other great horror movies today, just not as good. I did watch this on the same week as "The Exorcist", which both share the same kind of horror, with creepy kids having something to do with the devil.
Really, this will definitly creep you out, but do not watch the new one like I did, because its just not the same. Gregory Peck Plays American Ambassador Robert Thorn, who adopts Damien with his wife (Lee Remick).
But when his fifth birthday arrives, after growing up seeming to be a normal kid, everything changes for him, and especially his parents. With People dying left and right, Thorn tries to figure everything out.
Meeting up with photographer Jennings (David Warner), he's found out strange marking on the pictures of the people who recently dies, and has a strangeb resemblance to how they died. So Jennings and Robert teams up to find something they couldnt even imagine.
Gregory Peck does a fine job on displaying a man that loses everything, and the same with Lee Remick. If your a fan of The "Exorcist", I highly reccomend this horror-filled classic.
