Review of The Omen (2006) by Chads. — 05 Jun 2006
For sure, the dog is less scary than the original. He's not bulky enough to be satan's pet. The key scenes might be better staged and photographed, but like the second trilogy of "Star Wars" films, new and improved isn't necessarily better.
If you never saw the original with Gregory Peck and Lee Remick, you'll probably enjoy "The Omen". This new version feels a little off from the get-go. Since the film already knows that Damien is the devil's offspring, the montage of the boy's infancy is probably accompanied with the wrong music.
Where is that foreboding sense that Damien isn't quite right, which Katherine(Julia Stiles) indicates later in the film.
