After The Exorcist sparked a lengthy trend of supernatural thrillers, this 1976 horror film scored a hit with critics and audiences for mixing gothic horror and mystery into its plot about a young boy suspected of being the personification of the anti-Christ. (No doubt it's a favorite of shock-rocker Marilyn Manson.) Directed by Richard Donner (best known for his Superman and Lethal Weapon films), The Omen gained a lot of credibility from the casting of Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a distinguished American couple living in England, whose young son Damien bears "the mark of the beast." Mysterious deaths and unexplained incidents draw the attention of a photographer (David Warner), whose investigation leads to the young boy--and also to the photographer's shocking decapitation (in a scene that has since been inducted into the horror hall of fame). At a time when graphic gore had yet to dominate the horror genre, this film used its violence discreetly and to great effect, and the mood of dread and potential death is masterfully maintained. It's all a bit hokey, with a lot of biblical portent and sensational fury, but few would deny it's highly entertaining. Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score works wonders to enhance the movie's creepy atmosphere. --Jeff Shannon

I watched this movie for the first time in 2009. I'm sure if I had seen it in '76 it would get at least one more star. The film is well done, but not in the upper echelon of the best (The Shining, Psycho, The Exorcist). The music is very well done and has some sophisticated use of dissonance. One of my favorite touches was hearing the chant during a suspenseful scene and then in the next scene the phone is ringing to the same rhythm. I thought that was a clever touch. The film lacks in some ... Read More

The Omen is a timeless horror classic, one of the scariest movies ever made, and in my opinion the best movie ever made concerning the antichrist and his uprising. It is a tale of pure horror as a man slowly discovers that his adopted son is none other than the son of satan himself, and any who dare stand in his way are soon to meet their grisly demise.
Well made, well acted, top notch music score from Jerry Goldsmith, and one of the darkest and most ominous feels ever achieved in a horror ... Read More

When I was 15 years old I had my first encounter with Devil-Damien. He was the most compelling character that i had ever been introduced to. You know how teenagers are intrigued with the dark side! Recently, I decided to revisit my teenage fascination and was thrilled to find it better with age. So much so that I ordered Omen 2 and Omen 3 as well. Loved 'em all. You will too.

"The Omen" was one of the biggest horror films of the 1970's and it continues to this day to scare audiences out of their seats. The movie is about a couple who, unknowing to them, are the parents of the antichrist. Lee Remick and Gregory Peck star as the couple and they give superb performances. What makes "The Omen" stand out is the fact that things happen in the movie that you don't expect. Most horror films don't surprise the audience much, but "The Omen" jolts the viewer to the point that you can't ... Read More

A must have for OMEN fans. Great picture quality and loads of extras for true Damien followers.
