If you saw the original with Gregory Peck then it may not be worth your time to see this updated version. The film was basically the same just modernized with a few twists.

Completely unnecessary remake. They followed the original almost line for line...although the decapitation scene was much cooler in this one. That, and the kid was too creepy. I don't mean that I was scared of him... one of the things that made the original so great was that the only reason why you were afraid of the kid was because of what you suspected, but otherwise, the kid was completely normal and kind of cute. In this one, he's all pale with red rimmed eyes...he just looks like an evil little bastard, and that detracts from the movie overall.

The actors and actresses in the new version of this 1976 classic do not compare. I do say to those of you who have not seen the other version but loved this one rent the old and than rent the Omen II, cause if the first classic scares you wait until you see the second. The Omen II is by far the scariest of them all and is well worth renting. If you have no religious believes no you probably won't be scared, If your looking for gore go rent the saw movies. I still get scared when watching these movies and I see them all many times. Bryan M do not rate movies you did not see.

I have seen every Omen movie ever made. This has to be the best by far. It kept me interested to the very last minute of the movie.

Evidentally people who rate this movie should know or be fans of the horror genre. The original movie is without a doubt a classic. If you dont like horror movies you shouldnt rate them. Horror movies arent meant to be oscar winners, there suppose to scare the hell out of you and The Omen definetely accomplishes this task. Know what your talking about before you make yourself look stupid and rate a movie that is in a category you dont understand.

The Omen characterizes the stupidity of religous horror. If you're looking to be scared, there are a few scenes that take you by surprise. I actually found it fairly comedic. I feel sorry for the kid who has to live with the fact he played this part for the rest of his life. I hope he built in free therapy for life into his contract.
