Review of The Omen (2006) by Jace V — 20 Aug 2010
"It's all for you, Damien!".
Apparently since the unlucky number is 666 the media tried to influence us that on 6/6/06 (June 2006) was the day where evil could possibly come up and invade... so in celebration, this remake was made..... and it was the invasion.
A large group of religious leaders (mostly Catholics) prophesize the end of days through a chain of events similar to those in the book of Revelations (hurricanes, floods, terrorism, ect...). All that's left is a comet and a baby. Finally those happen and the baby ends up adopted by a diplomatic couple which experienced a miscarriage. Everything seems normal until this baby turns six. Strange and terrible things happen and people die in strange ways. Little do many people know........ THIS IS THE DEVIL!
Story........ it was a remake of corse so.... idk what to say. The original was a classic. It felt like they were taking it and putting a modern twist to it and tried to make it a little more pretty.
Acting was good but don't expect award-winning. The better work comes from the nanny and the mother. The devil child seems more crazy then creepy at times, unlike the one from the 70s looking back at the camera at the end. Just this kid who needs sent to miltary school. .....Actually.... a demon kid.... I'd just send him off to military school either way...... but that's what the sequal was for back in the day.
