Summary: One of the best horror movies of all time
Review: The Omen is a masterpiece. The story starts out in Rome, Mrs. Thorn (Remick) has just given birth to a child but this child dies at birth and Mrs. Thorn isn't told this. Mr. Thorn (Peck) decides to adopt a child. The child's name is Damien and turns out to be the Antichrist. Mr. Thorn is named Ambassador to London and at Damien's birthday their nanny hangs herself. A new nanny arrives at the house to take care of Damien and turns out to be one of Satan's henchman. Things pretty much go downhill from their for the Thorn family, Damien begins screaming when they near a church and their car is attacked by monkeys at the zoo. A local priest baggers Mr. Thorn to kill Damien, and a photographer contacts him with photographs that foretell who will be killed by Damien's evil powers. Mr. Thorn and the photographer take a trip to Israel and find the bones of their real son and the bones of Damien's mother, which just happen to be the bones of a jackal. Also there, Mr. Thorn is given multiple daggers, the only things that will kill Damien. This movie also contains and Oscar winning song by Jerry Goldsmith entitled "Ave Satani." Impeccable acting, an excellent plot, and a big budget make this my favorite and, one of the best horror movies of all time.I also recommend The Omen 2 and 3 but don't waist your time on the 4th one it was terrible.

Summary: "Whose child am I raising?"
Review: I first saw "The Omen" at the age of 16. The first of a trilogy, I found the idea of religious prophecy in a modern context an interesting twist. Gregory Peck plays Robert Thorn, an American ambassador. His wife Kathy (Lee Remick) is unaware that the child she gave birth to had died and was replaced by another baby. A foundling. Robert was persuaded by an Italian priest to "adopt" the child, agreeing that Kathy didn't need to know the truth. Robert and Kathy named the child Damien. Robert's life becomes a nightmare as Damien grows. Another priest arrives, telling Robert that the boy mustn't be allowed to live. It takes a number of murders before Robert is fully convinced of Damien's true heritage. "The Omen" is an unsettling film. The evil Damien looks so normal, it is hard for Robert to imagine he is really the son of the devil. The way certain characters die are unusual, but not really that gory. (They don't need to be.) There is also a novel of "The Omen" by David Seltzer. I'm not sure if the film is based on the book or the book based on the film. The book develops the story and characters much further and makes Damien even more sinister. The two sequels that follow "The Omen" are also worth seeing, but I advise you to ignore "Omen 4" completely.

Summary: Don't even mention The Exorcist when comparing these 2.....
Review: This movie, The Omen, is nothing like The Exorcist. The Exorcist is 1 billion kazillion times better than this one. It doesn't even possibly even begin to compare. Don't waste your time with this one!

Summary: Classic horror
Review: One of the most powerful horror films of the century in my opinion. Synopis When Katherine Thorne (played by the brilliantly talented actress Lee Remick) miscarries,husband Robert Thorne(Gregory Peck) secretly adopts a baby in Rome knowing that his wife wouldn't be able to live without a baby. The history of the baby is unknown, not seeming to matter to Thorne at the time. This film deals with the story of the Antichrist present in the child Damien. As Damien grows up it soon becomes apparent that he is the son of the devil. Unexpected deaths, a nanny commits suicide, a priest who warns of the child's satanic intentions is killed and it is up to Peck to save his family before it becomes too late. Excellent horror that will remain in the horror hall of fame for years and years.

Summary: A great horror movie
Review: The Omen is undoubtedly a great horror movie. With Gregory Peck and Lee Remick (both who do great jobs in the movie), this movie is a classic. The music really adds to the creepiness of the movie, and the decapitation scene (a little cheesey, but still great) does the same. Though it's not The Exorcist, The Omen is a high-quality flick.

Summary: High Quality Horror
Review: One of the best horror movies of all time. Gregory Peck and Lee Remick were outstanding, as was the little boy who plays Damien. A few scenes were quite gory, but overall, the acting alone stood out more than anything else. I watched this movie when I was young (about 24 years ago) and it has always stayed with me. I still think it's by far, one of the best horror movies ever made. Unfortunately, the sequels weren't able to live up to this first one.

Summary: SCARY, ENTERTAINING, ONE OF THE BEST 70s HORROR
Review: The Omen, The Exorcist, The Legend of Hell House, The Devil's Nightmare, and The Shining (maybe this is 80s) stand out to me as the best horror films of the 70s. The Omen is especially scary due to its awesome story, great acting, spooky soundtrack, and suspense. I can't say enough good things about it. The movie is mysterious and great. It left me wishing that I was involved in mysterious events with strange priests beating down my door and other oddities conpsiring. But where did that poem come from? "when the jews return to zion" etc? It is NOT in Revelation, I looked!

Summary: superior horror film
Review: The Omen is a very highly effective horror film. There is a huge sense of dark dread that builds up as the movie proceeds, and the score is, as mentioned already, hugely a part of the scariness. There aren't really any jump scenes (well, the nanny fight at the end) but there is a LOT of tension and creepiness in this film. Good performances, great cinematography and direction, and yes, a damn good decapitation, make for one freaky-deaky movie. And I love how it ends with that creepy creepy bible quote. The sequel is far inferior.
Rating: 
Summary: 666
Review: The omen in many respects is a good movie but concentrates to much on Damien's father Robert Thorn trying to find out Damiens true identity and does not focuss enough on Damiens behavior etc.I like how in this film a lot of it is based on the bible.Some moments in this are good and stand out especially when the thorns visit the church and Damien goes mad lashing out at his mother and screaming.The Omen 2 is much better.
