Review of The Omen (2006) by Johnny M — 04 Feb 2009
Originally I was going to give this unnecessary remake 1 star, but then I saw the Omen IV. Honestly, this film isn't really that bad. The deaths are really cool (especially the decapitation), however the film is nearly shot for shot and just doesn't work.
There's a good cast, but it doesn't work. I think this primarily comes from the fact that the kid isn't demonic yet adorable like in the original. Here's he's just just a friggin' asshole with a sour look on his face the whole time.
The score of the original is also wayyy better. The original is a 4.5 or even 5 star film. This one is just pale by sheer comparison and performance.
