The Omen (Blu-ray Disc, 2006)

Well, this movie it is pretty much like the orignal one just a little bit better, and I do mean just a little bit. I collect movies and mostly horror movies, and I will say this one is not one of my favorites but I am glad that I have it for my collection, and I did enjoy it a little it wasn't to bad or anything like that it's just that when I watched it I felt I already saw it a few times. I will give this movie a 3.5 Star rating out of a 5.

The Omen is a 1976 British suspense/horror film directed by Richard Donner. The film stars Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Harvey Stephens, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Troughton, Martin Benson and Leo McKern. It is the first film in The Omen series and was scripted by David Seltzer, who also wrote the novel.

Though similar to The Exorcist in several ways, The Omen has gained prestige over time for a number of reasons[citation needed]: its respectability (as a profitable major-studio film with renowned actors), its seriousness (playing as a contemporary thriller rather than a traditional film of the horror genre) and the originality of the movie's Jerry Goldsmith score.

The movie followed a cycle of 'demonic child' movies, such as Rosemary's Baby and The Exorcist, and was itself followed by sequels (see below) and a number of copycat films such as the Italian-made Kirk Douglas movie Holocaust 2000.

A remake, The Omen 666, was released on June 6, 2006, a release date chosen because of its reference to the Number of the Beast (666).

Very interesting movie.
Has so much suspense.
First time seeing this movie, and
being in Blu-Ray, made it even better.

If you have seen any of the other movies then you pretty much know what you are getting. This movie is good not something I would watch all the time but its ok.

I love purchasing things online at a cheaper price. Most of my shopping results in buying new unwrapped items a whole lot cheaper than going out to the stores. I strongly suggest price comparing and don't leave out the taxes and shipping costs. It is simple, online is the new trend.

i liked the remake of the original but it lacked the fire and scarecity of it and the horror were too much

Loved the Original so the remake was an easy decision. I loved the way they used updated angles and effects to bring this awesome movie to todays standards. The director had a great vision and used originality at key scenes in the picture. I would reccomend this movie to any fan!

The critics. 95% of the critics liked the original Omen as opposed to this one here. I have to disagree. They focused a bit more in the story in the original and this one was more of a thriller. I did like the original, but for most modern day movie fans, especially for horror, you'd appreciate this one more.

I just purchased a blue-ray player so I decided to purchase this dvd. I was more than satisfied with the quality of the picture.
