The Omen
The young son of an American diplomat and his wife, living in London, turns out to be marked with the sign of Satan, the infamous '666'. It soon becomes apparent that he could be the Anti-Christ incarnate and possesses the evil powers to stop anyone who stands in his way. Mysterious deaths surround an American ambassador.

Silly and bloody, but at times very effective.

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.

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

All references to prophecy and the Antichrist aside, The Omen achieves its horrors the old fashioned way.

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

Stands alone as a wonderful horror thriller.

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

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

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.

As long as movies like The Omen are merely scaring us, they're fun in a portentous sort of way.

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

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