Summary: The Best Evil Movies Ever
Review: Omen Collection is the best thing that has happened in Dvd World.It is the most impressive one.I watched the first part while I was a child it made me so scary , besides the first part of Omen is my favourite one.Its sounds , pictures and atmosphere is well also the music which won oscar is really hot and bumping and I still remember the acting of the little Damien Thorn that he was very succesful and who can forget the childs cool and mysterious looking with his coal black eyes.The second part is not as good as the first one , however it is above average,The best thing is the casting in the second part the actors and the actresses are really well acting in the movie.The third part is really good.Sam Neil was acting wonderful as The Evil's Son.Besides the ending of the third part is really unique Evil Versus Jesus.Really hot stuff.And the fourth part The Awekining is the worst of all.that part is really boring and bad cause it does not have anything that goes similiar with the first three parts but it worths to watch.Besides I don't like the acting of the little girl that she was so affected and ordinary.To sum up I can say that buy The Omen Colection because it is really worth to own and make it the best of your collection.

Summary: Part 1 Is 5 - Star Excellent, 2's Really Good, Last 2 Bad
Review: Rarely regarded as one of the great horror movie series, "The Omen" movies tell the story of Damien Thorn, the Antichrist (and later his daughter). They range from excellent to shlock, as most horror film trilogies do. This boxed set features all four "Omen" films"1976's "The Omen" is the first and best of the series. I think it is better than the grossly overrated "The Exorcist", as this one has a more disturbing and realistic plot line. Robert and Kathy Thorn (Gregory Peck and Lee Remick) are an English governmnet official and his wife have given birth to a stillborn child. Kathy doens't know, so Robert adopts one and passes it off as the dead baby. Baby Damien becomes the light of their life. Then when he turns 5, eerie stuff begins to happen. First, his nanny commits suicide. Then a priest comes to see Thorn at his ofice and urges him to kill his son, saying he's the Antichrist, the son of Satan. Soon, a rapid - fire series of coincidences resulting in the deaths of people around Damien make Robert grwo suspicous. He and a photographer David Warner investigate. But it isn't until Warner is killed (in one of the best movie deaths ever) that Robert realizes the truth. This is a great horror movie. Gregory Peck and Lee Remick turn in their best latter - day performances and prove that there was a place for aging screen vets in Hollywood other than tv movies and "That's Entertainment". Jerry Goldsmith's chilling score is the best I've ever heard in a horror film and he deserved the Oscar he won for it. Extras are several excellent documentaries, trailers and audio commentaries. 1978's "Damien: Omen 2" takes place 7 years later. Damine is now 12 years old, living with his aunt and uncle (Lee Grant and William Holden). This sequel marks a turning point in the series, as Damien is now aware of who he really is. At first, he's scared but soon grows to enjoy them. This film is lesser than the first one but provides some genuine jitters, especially the "Designing Women" guy stuck in the elevator and the frightening ending. Also, Holden and Grant turn in excllent performances. "Omen III: The Final Conflict" is where the series really began to slip. Damien (Sam Neil) is now 32 years old and is intent on world dominaton. Whn he soon realizes Christ is coming back for the final battle between good and evil, he soon becomes more ruthlss than ever, going as far as to kill infants. This made me sick. The only thing I liked in this one was that it had a happy ending. The acting is wooden. It's hard to believe that a 5 - year old (the first one's Harvey Stevens) can do Damien better than Sam Neil. Fortunately, Neil found his voice and became one of the most versatile (and well - known) character actors ever. The only thing here other than the acting is another spooky Jerry Goldsmith score. "Omen IV: The Awakening" tried teribly to resurrect the series. Karen and Gene York adopt a baby and the same things that happen in the first one happen here, only here it stinks. That's all I have to say about this movie. Overall, a good boxed set of classic horror movies that will scare you to death. The first two are worth watching but the last two are horrible. Best to get the first two separately.

Summary: Really good
Review: The first one is really great. The storyline is good and it is scary without using any "special affects" the way they do nowadays. The second one is also good because it is a continuation of the first. The actors are great and you get the same scary feeling like you did in the first one. The third one was a little too much. They should've stopped at two. But for what it's worth it's really good.

Summary: THE Horror Franchise
Review: The Omen movies are the Ultimate Horror movie and the best horror trilogy ever (IV was a Fox TV movie). The acting in all three movies are great and IV's horrible story and acting can be attributed to its TV movie roots and can be ignored interly. Without a doubt, any horror fan would be wise to pick these up as soon as possible.

Summary: A great trilogy with a bad aftertaste.
Review: The Omen series is arguably the great trilogy of the horror genre. Some could argue that Romero's zombie trilogy is superior, but Romero's films are not connected by characters or events while The Omen series is. Charting the rise and fall of the Antichrist fortold in the book of Revelation, The Omen series certainly lives up (or down, depending on you view) to its reputation. The series got of to a solid start with The Omen. Orginally conceived as a stand alone picture, The Omen tells the story of politician Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck), who adopts a mysterious child (whom they name Damien) to spare his wife (Lee Remick) the emotionally devestating news that their child died at birth. Five years later, strange events and his wife's growing mental unbalance drive Thorn to discover just who Damien is... Damien Omen II picks up seven years later, with Damien now 12 years old and living with his Aunt Ann (Lee Grant) and Uncle Richard (William Holden). Again strange tragedies force his foster parents to look closer at Damien. The sequel has some interesting, albeit underexplored, ideas to offer and even more dramatic accidents. While not as suspenseful or atmospheric as the first movie, Damien Omen II is still an entertaining sequel. The Final Conflict has a now grown Damien Thorn poised to rule to world. Sadly the conflict that had been promised for two movies (i.e. world war, armies of good and of evil, etc.) is pretty much absent. The movie does feature a few bloodcurdling moments and does deserve a nod for both daring to turn around the biblical story of King Herod's attempt to kill the infant Jesus by having Damien send his disciples on a post messiah birth hunt AND showing the actual Second Coming of Christ. While that may count for something, the focus of the story is way too underplayed considering just what the movie was supposed to building up to. As Roger Ebert said when the movie was first released, those expecting Damien Thorn standing atop a cloud and shooting lazer bolts from his hands at approaching armies, or something like that, will be sorely disappointed. Nonetheless, it brings the series to a conclusion. Which leaves the set with Omen IV: The Awakening, which is the most illogical of sequel cash-ins. An up and coming politican and his wife adopt a young girl with decidely mystertious origins, sound familiar? As strange occurrences and suspicions mount, the adoptive mother begins looking into his daughters past. Being made for television (and partially directed by the guy that made Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers) it is overly melodramatic and lacking in atmosphere and suspense. It also takes place in a world where Damien Thorn died, yet Christ did not return. So was Damien the Antichrist or not? Omen IV: The Awakening tries to have its cake and eat it to. It is not surprising that Fox aired the telefilm, but passed on the TV series it was supposed to lead into. Producers Harvey Bernhard and Mace Neufeld would have been better off just starting from scratch and retelling The Omen as a massive television series. But they didn't, so the horror genre's best trilogy has a bitter aftertaste. The actual trilogy is treated rather nicely. The Omen has a commentary by director Richard Donner and editor Stuart Baird as well as some behind the scenes documentaries. Damien Omen II has a commentary by Harvey Bernhard (who offers some interesting information on the sequel, but his attention fades in and out as he gets distracted in the middle of a story by the events on screen) and The Final Conflict offers a sporadic commentary by director Graham Baker. Everybody ignores Omen IV: The Awakening, which is just the treatment it deserves. The Omen TRILOGY is an essential for horror fans and buying this boxed set is a better way of getting them than purchasing them separately, just be prepared to have that fourth (and pretty much free after the math) taking up unnecessary space, which is just what it has been doing since 1991.

Summary: Great set, except for Omen 4
Review: The Omen trilogy (Omen 1, 2, and 3) is a great set of movies. Even though 3 is a little watered down, it still rounds out the story. Then the Omen 4 comes along. Yes I know it was a made for TV thing, but come on, this is crap. They should rename Omen 4 to "Upside Down Cross Movie + Rehashed Omen Stuff", because seriously, it was mainly about the makers of this movie trying to figure out how many times they can show an updside down cross (like it's all spooky and stuff). They were probably just sitting around and going "Hey, that stick over there kinda looks like an upside down cross... make the girl play with it and start shooting". Besides that all that was done was try to recreate old parts of the earlier Omen movies but with bad actors and without the subtlety that was one of the most important parts of the series. Also they try to add in this stupid mumbo jumbo New Age crystal rubbing aura crap that is just lame. The "satanic" choir of punk rockers also didn't do anything except make me laugh at the stupidity of it. This could have been a good movie, but they ruined it. Get the set for the first 3... it's worth it. But only watch the last if you're drunk or something.

Summary: The Omen series 1-4 / Rated 666 Pentagrams
Review: The Omen The Devil's childe incarnated here in the form of an adorable little English boy. Born into wealth & prestige, the son of senator destined for the presidency --- it seems that "Satan" planned well {of course}, to place "His" son in prominance, instead of in some dungheap of a manger {who does that remind you of?}. One after another, obstacles {human & otherwise} are removed from the path of the Devil's son's path --- whomever dares get in His way..... This movie draws from JC-mythology from the book of "Revelation" of an apocalyptic anti-christ / tyrant born to dominate the earth. He carries the dreaded "666" birthmark upon his head --- proof positive he is "The One". In one particularly dramatic scene, Damian refuses to be led into an Episcopal church. Instead, his mother takes him to the zoo, where the resident animals panic & lash out in fear & anger. Small wonder --- he is Thanatos made flesh. Born of a jackal, Damian is protected by exarchs of Hell --- a good-natured woman, & a strong & beautiful doberman --- erego, the diabolical connection. Damian.....the name has since been the favorite for infernal children..... Damien Omen 2 The second six in the saga of this classic infernal trinity. Here, in military school, Damian comes to grips with the realization that he is this antichrist character, after being reassured by an official. Damian learns to grasp His power, & even his own brother is annihilated, who threatened to stop Damian's destiny. Again, his parental guardians get the proverbial axe, as 'The Antichrist' continues on his path to world dominion. Damien III: The Final Conflict Damien is all grown up here, & has taken his place as President of 'Thorn Industries', a global conglomerate incorperating everything from product manufacture to food charities, & is firmly allied with the UN {of course}. In the darkest of plans, children are sacrificed, a politician commits suicide {by the auspice of satanical forces}, & the homicidal efforts of a secret xian order to murder Damien Thorn rotinelt prove to be ineffectual & laughable. Thorn has his own "Ritual Chamber", in which the nazarene is crucified, not inverse as you would expect, but turned around so that his naked posterior shows most humiliatingly. Thorn blasphemously rants at the nazarene in a messe noiresque fashion, & shows what proves to be one of the most powerfully sacriligeous scenes in cinematographic history. "Nazarene......you have won NOTHING....." Omen IV: A New Awakening Damien Thorn is reborn in his subsequent sister Delia, a dark-haired little girl who is adopted by a politician destined fo the presidency --- sound familiar? The Antichrist is persistent. A nun turned prostitute then evangelical jesus-freak is tormented with the knowledge of helping to bring 'the evil' into the world; she prays to 'god' for forgiveness that she didn't kill the child when she had the chance. Mother Superior has a heart attack after slapping the holy sheizer out of the pre-nun, & a crucifix inverts during an agonizing supplication. Very early on, she shows signs of her 'wickedness' --- scratching her mother across the cheek while still but an infant. As might be expected, her whole childhood is filled with a series of anomeles. While at school, a ...-disturbing little brat picks on little Delia for some undetermined reason, perhaps as an exercise in masochism. In a particularly memorable scene, the brat makes off with Delia's lunchbox, dumping the contents onto the floor, stamping on it while laughing idiotically. Well, Delia doesn't take kindly to this antagonistic gesture, & forthwith slams her lunchbox square across the brute's ugly mug --- he just sits in the corner crying his little beady eyes out, after managing to strike little Delia. But she gets her revenge --- the next day, during a break, Delia makes off with his lunch, & runs out to mount & climb a ladder leading to the roof. When she gets quite a ways up, the little pigface follows, & begins to climb, but lo & behold, he's afraid of heights! He ends up urinating all over himself in front of the whole class. Ah, sweet revenge...... Next, babysitter selection comes along, & who manages to get the job, but a new-age flake / weakan type. One day, Delia comes in from playing, & notices the babysitter sitting in the kitchen with her mother, with a book displayed on the table, entitled, "The Book of Light"; I paraphrase --- "It's all about healing, & crystals.....", "And stupid junk!" yells Delia, slamming the book on the floor. A truly wonderful scene. Another scene involves curious Delia inspecting the weakan's crystal necklace. Guess what? It turns black. As do all of the crystals in her drawer. Another incident involved the babysitter taking a shower, when all of a sudden, she sees an inverted cross appear in the steam on the mirror. Frightened, she finally employs one of her 'wippie' friends to 'feel the vibe' --- well, he promptly becomes quite ill, almost smashing his car into Delia's 'mother's'. The weakan arranges to trick Delia into attending a weaker - blindlight convention, where all manner of occultnik idiocy is enacted. By & by, as Delia passes the different booths, the practitioners are horrified by her presence, much like rabbits in the face of a stalking predator, until she is finally sabotaged, & forced to take a Kirlian photograph, which develops quite predictably. Swirls of black & red paint, which denotes chaos. Eventually, one of the flame tossers ignites himself, which catches upon the roof of a booth, & soon, the whole place is a raging inferno, with Delia smirking in its wake.
Eventually, Delia's 'mother' gets the 'xoid cooties', the paranoia bug, consulting priests & pastors about the rise of the Antichrist, the book of Revelations, etc. Finally, with the help of the 'lambs of god', she manages to justify her paranoia, & makes up her mind for infanticide. Not surprising, actually, considering that the judeo-xian god has been guilty of this atrocity twice {jeezwiz & Ezekiel's son Abraham --- the latter, which was a cruel mind-scrambling joke}. The Detective helping her gets demolished, amidst a chorus of spechtral dark angels. The little nun finally finds relief by the fang, & the weaker is destoyed. The 'mother' stalks towards the bedroom, as Delia holds the infant; the 'mother' points her gun, the baby displays the characteristic 'Mark of the Beast', & then.........? Overall, Omen 4 is very entertaining, without the demoralization. Delia proves herself to be quite a demon-spawn.
