The omen is another classic horror film,and just becauseits old it doesnt mean you shouldnt give it a go.Its about a couple who loose there baby at birth,a priest offers the husband a baby who has lost its mother and says that the wife never need know.The family is well off and bring the child up well but soon horrible things begin happening around the house and the father begins to suspect his own son.
I really enjoyed this film it sets a good atmosphere and is told from the fathers point of view,the film delves deeper into the childs history and gives a great story,the cast are excellent and for the time this movie was made do a really good job.
Although there arnt really any special effects the actors carry it off and it all combines to a really good ending,if you have enjoyed the exorcist this film is probably for you,it began a chain of films and made damian a worldwide name to be feared

Good review of the film itself, although I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
