This is by far the absolute best movie I have ever seen in my life. Now, the violence isn't as graphic as CSM and some others say, and to be honest, it's quite cheesy. I don't fully understand why people believe that this is a horrible movie; it's just the opposite. It's basically about an American Ambassador who learns that his wife's baby son died and seeks to adopt another from a priest, pretending that the baby he used to replaced the other. Yet, the priest never told him that the babe was in fact born from that of a jackal, making it an important part of the movie. After a few years have gone by, he learns to his horror from the priest that his son is the literal anti-christ, and that he must destroy it before it can mature into adulthood. With the help of a photographer, he embarks on a bit of a quest to see if what the priest tells him is true. Now, yes, this movie is quite dark and has quite a few scenes of violence. The worst two are a nanny with a noose around her neck jumping off a multi-story building, snapping her neck halfway down and swinging/breaking through a glass window. The other is a man being decapitated by a glass pane on a truck, the reddish insides of his neck and head shown in a semi-graphic manner while you can see his head flying and blood spewing about. (to be honest, it looks like a mixture of ketchup and tomato juice) I would recommend this movie to older teens (15, 16) and older. Suggested MPAA Rating: Rated R for Disturbing Violent Content and Images.
The original Omen is a fairly disturbing, Gothic and of course, very offensive movie for hard-core Christians and firm believers in the religion, although I seriously doubt that you would actually want to see this movie if you were like that. Anyways, while it is fairly tame compared to most modern day horror movies, it is still very disturbing since the themes of Satan and a young boy being involved, and also because of some of the first inventively gruesome deaths in Hollywood. Still, I will always enjoy this horror classic, and if you can take a little bit of smarts with your horror movie, unlike most of the one's that we have today, you will probably enjoy it about as much as I do.
This is a great movie with little blood at all, but the ways people get killed creep you out anyway. The soundtrack is great, the kid playing Damien is great, everything is great. Everyone should see this movie, but it is difficult to watch, despite the lack of blood and gore, at parts.
I don't think so! it's just boring,a silly kid who crys when he goes to a church?! that's scary? ... And neither da 2nd... Damien: The Omen 2 ... another boring movie...even more boring that da first... dont waste ur time watching this...
this is a great movie for any body. It's a little creepy at points, but it is not that bad. It has a lot of class, too. It doens't have any language or drugs. I loved it.
I totally love the movie it has some violent parts but it was very very clean no inappropriate kissing seance or anything that could and would relate to that. the new remake of the omen that was made in 2006 was horrible! very very inappropriate and you'd have to cover your eyes and your ears because it is so disgusting! i think this movie should of been rated PG- 13 but what do i know.
I didn't like this no I didn't not at all boring and disappointing not scary dull plot cheap thrills poor acting cheesy blood what could be worse and raw dialogue.*sigh*
