Review of The Omen (2006) by Liam T — 23 Nov 2008
Not a bad remake. Not as creepy as the original, but then the 1970s produced many creepy horrors for its time. Why though these days they aren't as creepy I don't know. My take on modern creepy films are that they are too up-to-date, playing it safe for the box office and not enough weirdness to pull it off.
Carrie for example and its modern update, eugh! And The Stepford Wives, The Wicker Man, She-Devil, etc. Please leave these classics alone! But I digress. Modern Omen was not bad. There are no plans to do the sequels.
Many may rejoice. I would have watched them though if they did.
