Horror: The Omen 1976

This is the story of a woman who gives birth to a still born child. Without her knowledge, and at the request of the hospital's priest, her husband secretly adopts him, and passes him off as their own child. But what he doesn't know, is that he is the son of the DEVIL!

Grade: C+


We've all heard of Damien, if anything, that name has become a pop culture reference, so I decided to watch it. Perhaps I have been spoiled by the movies of today, the thrillers, the suspense, horror and slasher, and maybe in the 70's when this came out it was super scary, but today,... for me,... not so much. It had it's parts. I mean, when the nanny gets every one's attention at the party, the hangs herself, pretty good, and when photographer guy's head gets cut clean off by a sheet of glass, not bad either. It DID keep me interested, but in all honesty,.. by the end I was kinda dosing off.
