more...American official Robert Thorn's wife Kate 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 turns five years old, strange things begin to happen and Kate begins to notice odd things about her child, such as 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. The 2006 version of THE OMEN updates the terrifying story where unspeakable evil is unleashed through Damien - Satan's son and the Anti-Christ. DAMIEN: OMEN II is the second chilling instalment of THE OMEN series where Damien is now a teenage military academy student, and one step nearer the White House. OMEN III finds Damien the Anti-Christ now a wealthy and powerful ambassador. When he sees a cosmic sign that may foretell the second coming of the Christ child, he sends out his minions to kill as many babies as possible. Meanwhile, a group of monks is trying to assassinate him with the seven sacred daggers of Megiddo. Will good or evil triumph? In OMEN IV, Damien returns in the form of a beautiful baby girl, Delia. Adopted by rich, influential attorneys, Delia appears to be a perfect angel. But satanic terror and destruction seem to follow wherever she goes.

The Omen Pentology (Box Set)
Review of The Omen Pentology (Box Set) (DVD) by rebeliousc

Advantages: Fantasically shot, great value horror package
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit too focused and gory for the casual viewer

The Omen Pentology is definately a collection of top quailty horror films with convincing acting and great inovative camera techniques. That said the pentology is probably best left to the horror fans. People curious about the genre might find it a bit too focused and perhaps should start with more approachable films such as 28 days later. The films all have a different feel and angle but together form a definate collection and I would advise that ... Read review

Omen Pentology
Review of The Omen Pentology (Box Set) (DVD) by bushwakka999

Advantages: Great horror films
Disadvantages: not for faint hearted

The Omen Pentology is by far the scariest set of films i have seen in a long time. i would highly recomend this pentology to anyone who loves horror films. each seperate DVD provides a whole new thrill. i would ensure that no one under 18 should watch some of these dvd's as their is a large amount of gore which is not suitable for young children. the omen films provide a large thrill for an entire family should it be a party or a horror night. either ...
