Justin T The biggest problem with The Omen is that it has dated since it was made. And films of the seventies and before have dated especially worse than films of the eighties and later. In the Western society the belief in Christ is less than in the seventies so that cultural impact is lessened. This film is fundamentally about Christianity and that is where the fear comes from. I am not Christian so I found this a slightly preposterous thriller. Having said that, I can respect that this is a very well made film with a thrilling climax and some thoroughly exciting scenes on the way. I can also be vicariously afraid on behalf of believers. Not sure that the remake can make it more relevant. Overall, not scary enough for me but, like Rosemary's Baby (1968), I can appreciate what it is trying to do. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review K K A classic. This movie shows why movie stars (OK legend even) can help elevate any genre of movie. Movie stars that can act bring something special: Peck and Remick were the leads and brought the charisma, star power and acting abilities to make something that could be silly have more of an interesting factor. Sure keep in mind the time this movie was made, the era. So don't compare this movie with movies made today. For one thing, due to IT attention spans of overall have lowered, with a defective attention span, some things might seem slow. Rather, it is a fitting vibe for the movie and era. Yet looking at the storyline, The Omen is a classic and solid scary movie. A drama that really captures interest: a couple, even though some might say everything that brings happiness (money, career, prestige) was still missing. Guess who arrives to help solve this missing piece to the otherwise perfect couple? Damien. The drama with scary, gross moments delivered. The whole case is excellent and sold me on the storyline. I would say, even though it's Easter (date of this post), to watch this movie and make it fun day/night! As I don't conform to those rules that certain "holidays" are meant for this or that. Changing things and not just watching Easter Bunny movies can be fun! Going against the grain which The Omen did with some of the subject matter, similar to The Exorcist. I love such boldness!
