Movie Description
John Moore's remake of Richard Donner's unsettling 1976 horror classic increases the quality of production values, yet stays very true to the original. Live Schreiber (EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED) plays Robert Thorn, a wealthy American official living in Rome, whose wife, Kate (Julia Stiles, MONA LISA SMILE), has just lost her first child. At the behest of a strange priest, Robert substitutes an orphaned child for his own without Kate's knowledge, and soon the small family is living an idyllic existence on a lavish estate in England. But when the child, Damian (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick), turns five years old, strange things begin to happen, beginning with a nanny's public and very grisly suicide at the boy's lavish birthday party. Kate begins to notice odd things about her child, such as the way other children don't want to play with him, his strange provocation of animals, and his increasingly pronounced withdrawal from her. By the time she begins fearing for her life, however, it may be too late, and it's up to her husband to figure out once and for all if the child really is the spawn of Satan. Thus Robert embarks on a journey that takes him back to Italy, Jerusalem, and an encounter with a priest of decidedly horrific mien; he's aided by a photographer who has figured out what's going on, and who just might be the next one to die. The atmospheric, spooky mise-en-scene, marked by an almost constant storm and grey tones interrupted by startling reds, deliciously makes the most of the film's exaggeratedly apocalyptic message. The wonderful Mia Farrow (ROSEMARY'S BABY) is unbelievably creepy as Damian's replacement nanny.

    Some movies are so good they never should be remade. But if you do remake it it should at least be good. I think this move was made by the Anti-Christ!
    It loses the whole spooky dark mood of the original

    Hmmmm! I am a HUGE Fan of Horror movies as well as disasters and can't wait for the new releases to come out. I will admit this one didn't have much of a draw from the start for me but I went ahead and rented it. I mean the Original really played out the whole theme of Evil Possessed Kids with like 5 or 6 sequels and it was hard for me to believe they would go back and remake the first one. As I was watching it I couldn't help but feel like I would have enjoyed watching the original over again than watching this tired remake. This movie would have been better throwing out the remake idea and making a completely new "The Omen 10". Thanks for reading my Opinion!!
