honestly that’s a reasonable reaction to being forced to go to church
MorganMar 20, 2021before 9/11 you were allowed to bring a set of seven mystical daggers from the ancient canaanite city of megiddo to be used in the ritual execution of the antichrist onto a plane

Ultimately a movie about how poorly equipped rich, emotionally distant WASPs are to deal with raising a kid with ADHD
Branson ReeseApr 2, 2024You gotta respect a movie that can make a nanny, a child, and puppies the bad guys.
Kit LazerApr 5, 2024“It’s all for you, Damien” is definitively one of the most horrifying scenes ever put to film

the kid just wants to ride his trike or whatever. everyone relax
David SimsOct 28, 2021every time gregory peck answers the phone in this movie he looks so startled as if he’s a time traveler who just transported to the seventies from the 1700s and has no idea what phones are but is trying to act cool so he doesn’t blow his cover.
eely 👻Jun 27, 2021I’ve had a complicated relationship with this movie for more than half my life, as a child it frightened me, and in my teen years I had a friend named Damien who my group of friends and I would always say “ITS ALL FOR YOU DAMIEN!” in jest during some of the best years of…

8.7 - Incredibly underrated. Chilling is the best word for this. Should be considered close to the tier of The Exorcist. Deaths are well done, acting is phenomenal, & style is very classic 70s. It toes the psych/religious line perfectly without fully crossing into supernatural.
Morgan likedThe Omeni know damien is evil but i feel very maternal towards him

- Victor Velazquez Vazquez lovedThe Omen
Una película que se volvió referencia absoluta dentro del cine de terror. Sentí que toma un poco de la atmósfera de Rosemary’s Baby ese terror psicológico que se te mete debajo de la piel pero The Omen le da un giro más seco, más inevitable. El ritmo nunca afloja; avanza con una calma tensa que va…
vivika puranik lovedThe Omeni feel like so many horror movies now rely heavily on gore or jump scares that this was infinitely scarier because of the subtlety of it. it was so clean and simple and that’s exactly what made it so chilling. the quiet fear you feel right after you finish this movie is unmatched
Dyl lovedThe Omen(666th Review) I haven’t seen something that good in originality since my first watch of Cujo. It’s amazing from almost every standpoint and a must watch horror movie. It has phenomenal pacing and some decent foreshadows but are overhauled by the brilliant acting 8.9/10 (7)
- Henry likedThe Omen
A chilling classic, skillfully crafted with its era's unsettling atmosphere. Even today, it’s tense and haunting, with its exploration of good vs. evil playing out with eerie precision. The film’s eerie mood and sharp direction leave a lasting impact. Rating: H - 8/10
MovieDaddy lovedThe OmenThis one gets a lot of love, but it’s still not enough. It’s rare that a single movie can boast TWO of the most memorable death scenes in movie history, but this has it. Peck is timeless and the good vs evil story is rarely done better. Top 10 from the 70s no doubt.
CvptvinHowdy lovedThe OmenIt's been a while since I've seen The Omen, and I forget how good it is. The kills in here are pretty memorable, especially the first one. I also forgot how haunting the music was. The Omen is well regarded, but I still think it doesn't get enough credit.

The Omen takes all of this terribly seriously, as befits the genre that gave us Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist. What Jesus was to the 1950s movie epic, the devil is to the 1970s, and so all of this material is approached with the greatest solemnity, not only in the performances but also in the photography, the music and the very looks on people's faces.
Roger Ebert

A bald-faced lamprey hitching its razor-tipped maw on the chassis of The Exorcist, The Omen’s Sunday-school parable of gothic Cathsploitation comes twice as thick and thrice as pious.
