Entertaining and yes, still ominous after all these years. A landmark of satanic cinema.

Richard Donner's direction is taut. Players all are strong.

Much of the film is terrific, unnerving stuff; but much of it is kind of loopy and much too silly to take even a little seriously.

It was the performance of Harvey Stephens as the young Damien that invested the film with the chill of genuine credibility.

The Omen contains some of the most memorable untimely deaths in cinema history.

Richard Donner directs more for speed than mood, but there are a few good shocks.

This apocalyptic movie mostly avoids physical gore to boost its relatively unoriginal storyline with suspense, some excellent acting (especially from Warner and Whitelaw), and a very deft, incident-packed script.

Stands alone as a wonderful horror thriller.

Silly and bloody, but at times very effective.

As long as movies like The Omen are merely scaring us, they're fun in a portentous sort of way.
October 09, 2012
All references to prophecy and the Antichrist aside, The Omen achieves its horrors the old fashioned way.

A member of the Exorcist family, it is a dreadfully silly film, which is not to say that it is totally bad.
