Review of The Omen (2006) by Theelusivepossom — 06 Jun 2006
This gets an 8 comfortably, being probably the best horror released this year, and the most surprising hit. The acting is strong on all accounts (even Damien himself has perfected a demonic scowl) and special mention goes to the male members of the cast, who provide an intriguing dynamic.
The film is genuinely suspenseful, and the "jumpy" bits will literally make you jump out of your seat, handled like they should be in every film. The deaths each have a Final Destination-esque grewsomeness, and the dream sequences, if confusing and irrelevant, are disturbing and fit perfectly.
It's fast-paced too, and the ending will catch many off guard...perfect for the release date of 06/06/06. It could have been improved with a good soundtrack, but an outstanding must-see all the same.
