Review of The Omen (2006) by Bill K — 06 Oct 2010
Almost a scene for scene remake of the original, that doesn't add anything and at times the actors appear to be barely awake. The film starts with the delivery of a still born infant and so the father decides to take another infant and not tell his wife.
Once the child hits the age of five strange things begin to happen the maid hangs herself at a birthday party and the father is hounded by a priest that seems to know what's going on. Nobody takes ant action until it's too late and evil looks like it's about to win.
If you're going to make a remake that is not as good as the original at least change it up a little bit.
