Review of The Omen (2006) by William F — 18 Apr 2017
So what exactly ruins this remake? Two things. For one, the actor that plays Damien is too fucking weird. What made Damien so scary in the original is that for the most part he acted like a normal kid.
That's what made his actions all the more horrific. The kid in this doesn't smile, doesn't act like a kid, period. He makes the kid from The Ring look like a kid from a Chuckie Cheese commercial.
And secondly, it's completely 100% the same film as the original. Shot for shot. Remakes are pretty lame anyway, but a remake that tries absolutely nothing new is pointless. 4/10 (Mediocre).
