The Omen Trilogy - worth the money.

Advantages: All three of the awsome omen trilogy in one box set. Nifty!
Disadvantages: none as far as I can see.

...heaven for any fan of the trilogy and, in my humble opinion, perfect to acompany a nice night in with a take away. When his baby is stillborn, Robert Thorn just can't bring himself to break the news to his belovd wife and adopts another newborn baby as a replacement. Although this might work well with small pets it doesn't work so well with children, He might have thought twice if he had realised that the childs father was Satan and the mother was ...

Review of The Omen Trilogy - The Omen/Damien - Omen 2/Omen 3 - The Final Conflict (Box Set) (DVD)

omen 3...the final conflict

Advantages: great fear factor
Disadvantages: a little bit too much religion

...instalment in the series of Omen movies goes deeper into the complex world of religion and the fight between good and evil, depicting the rise of Damien, and his ever increasing followers, together with Damien's plan to become the President of the United States and his ultimate plan….Armageddon. There are many scenes of death and destruction which are, again, almost tastefully filmed as realism is paramount. There are a few scenes which are disturbing ...
...Unusually, (unlike many sequels-sequels), Omen 3 is probably as good as the other 2 Omen movies, relying on the original ideas of filming as close to realism as possible. The idea of one man being the descendent of the devil still giving the Omen films there special fear factor rating. If you have not watched the first two Omen films then watching this one will be entertaining but will totally confuse you regarding the characters and the entire ...

Review of Omen 3 - The Final Conflict (Digitally Remastered) (DVD)

A decent end to the saga (or is it?)

Advantages: Storyline continuing
Disadvantages: Predictable

If you liked the first 2 films then you will like this one by default. I got the 3 on impulse as i had only seen the first film when i was far too young to have watched it but i did anyway - had nightmares for weeks! The storyline continues..... Damien is now finished military school and a very successful (and handsome) businessman played by the very admirable Sam Neill. Again he has his faithfull servants including the rottweiler. But this time ...
...is a prophecy of the second coming and damien wants to stop it. He finds out the precise date of the birth and arranges for his servants to kill all the babies born on that day so that the path is clear for his evil plan on world domination to succeed. Of course his plan is thwarted by one father whose child is one of those that damien wants to kill. We must not forget the beautiful woman that falls in love with damien before finding out his true ...

Review of Omen 3 - The Final Conflict (DVD)

Beware, Beowulf.

Advantages: The leading lady; I would walk over broken glass to pump her tyres.
Disadvantages: Lots. But the ludicrous soundtrack wins a prize.

...a short explanation is required. Beowulf is an epic poem written in Olde English, which is variously dated as between a thousand and fifteen hundred years old. It concerns a Danish king whose stronghold is ravaged nightly by a man-eating monster, Grendel. A brave hero from another land, Beowulf, hears of the monster and travels to Denmark to engage the monster in battle. He defeats Grendel in unarmed combat by tearing Grendel’s arm and shoulder ...
...great hall as a trophy. Beowulf is lauded as a hero and showered with gifts. Grendel manages to return to his underwater lair, inhabited by his mother, to die. Grief stricken, his mother returns to the stronghold to wreak vengeance and retrieve Grendel’s arm. Beowulf, realising that his work is not finished, tracks her to her underwater cavern, dives into its depths and kills her. This is a great story; the only surprise is that nobody has ...

Review of Beowulf (NEVER RELEASED) (DVD) (DVD)

The best movies around

Advantages: Great classic horror
Disadvantages: no price for this product

These are by far the best horror movies, they all have a great story line following the devils son from birth to adulthood, and watch out anyone who gets in his way to taking over the world. There are some quite gory bits in these films especially the first two, but they are movies that you can watch over and over again. The other good thing with the dvd's is that they have commentarys on from all the behind the scenes people and some of the things ...
