Review of The Omen (2006) by Phil S — 12 Jan 2015
Classic reboots almost never work and The Omen only contributes to that statistic. The plot is skewed and progresses with painful uncertainty as if it's blindfolded. The action is overly dramatic and stylized which takes away completely from the horror aspect which the filmmakers (who have obviously seen the original) must have insisted not to emphasize.
Rather they chose to distract their audience with modern day special effects and unfulfilled promises of fear that must have cost millions but still look dirt cheap hiding disgracefully behind the name of a classic horror film.
