Review of The Omen (2006) by Helen F — 10 Jun 2012
An appalling remake to say the least. The writers attempted to make an amazing story because it coincided with a fortunate date, but it failed to deliver. The film felt rushed and the casting didn't feel right. Michael Gambon would, in my opinion, have been a more convincing Robert Thorn. The story was treated as if the child was the cause of everything that happened, when the original gave the impression that it was circumstance.
The two stars are for David Thewlis' role as Jennings, who was convincing, despite the fact that the original Jenninings, David Warner, actually looks quite similar.
