adonis98-743-186503 An American official realizes that his young son may literally be the Devil incarnate. Despite 2 pretty good leas such as Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles neither of them could match Gregory Peck and Lee Remick plus the movie felt like a piece by piece remake of the original with a few changes here and there like the dream sequence. I mean the priest gets impaled again, the photographer loses his head, the girl jumps and Thorn gets killed in the end. Pretty much piece by piece remake that is without a doubt tho better than The Omen III and IV at least. (D+)
jacobjohntaylor1 This an awful movie. The this one of the worst horror movies ever made. The original The Omen from 1976 is good movie. See that movie. Damien Omen II is a lot better movie. That is a good movie. Omen III final conflict is a lot better that is a great movie. Omen IV the awakening is a better movie and that was awful. This movie is so similar to the original that there is no point to this movie at all. It is not scary at all. It is one of the most unnecessary movie of all time. I do not know why it got a 5.5. That is just overrating it. I give it 1 out 10. Because it is just a pile of steaming pooh pooh. This is just awful. This is not a good movie at all. It is one of the worst horror movies of all time. Do not see it.
Goosey1972 It doesn't help that the original is one of my all time favourite films but I found this a total disappointment.I think if a classic is going to be remade then they should try to approach it in a different kind of way but this copies the original virtually scene for scene.That leads to inevitable comparisons.The most obvious is the acting in which Schrieber and Styles deliver shockingly wooden performances.I actually thought it was laughable in places.Whereas Peck and Remick had a chemistry that made the audience genuinely care for them it's almost impossible to give a damn about the leads in the remake.The other main difference is what,to be fair,very few horror films (especially modern ones) seem to capture and that's atmosphere.The original had a very eerie feel to it,helped in no small part to Jerry Goldsmith,but it just wasn't there at all in the remake.On the plus side Farrow and Postlethwaite are decent. A fair argument with remakes is to try and forget the original and just take the remake on its own merits but it just falls short in so many ways for me personally. If an upcoming film maker wanted to learn lessons on how to make a good horror film they should watch the original and then the remake.
maria_darakchieva I agree with these reviews who said that this remake simply can't compare to the original and they are absolutely right!!!!!! I think that the original which is from 1976 is much, much better than the 2006. . I would be absolutely stunned if they make a " Rosemary's Baby " remake. The only bad thing that the devil did on that day was to make me watch this film . I will never , ever watch this again ! Instead of ending up scared and petrified , I ended up laughing. Sorry, but this remake is not as good as the original! I prefer watching the Original version than this remake! I personally like watching Horror films,but this thing simply can't be called a Horror film ! I've seen so nice and worthy Horrors and this is simply nothing compared to them !!! So if you want to watch a really interesting and worthy Horror film , then go to the nearest video rental store and rent yourself "The Omen" - 1976 version. You will be left pleasantly surprised by this piece of classic in the horror genre!
