The Omen (1976)

Im-"Peck"-able Film


One of the greatest horror films of all time. This one still gives me the shivers when I watch it. If you a fan of horror films and have not seen the original Omen (1976) then by all means find a copy of it to watch - you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this movie.

The casting in incredible - everyone is believable. Harvey Stephens as Damien is just amazing... most child actors are not that grand but Harvey is simply fantastic.

The musical scoring by  Jerry Goldsmith is just as haunting as the film itself. The directing and the story - the story - will leave chills within you for days after watching this one.

What I like best about this film is the fact there is little gore in it. It's just a darn good story - lots of psychological thrills and horrors with just a handful on camera graphic scenes - just enough to keep it terrifying without over doing it. A class act horror film.


10/10
