The kid is an awful actor and there is a lot of down time in an already long movie, but the rest of the cast is solid and score is great.
It has aged poorly, but I can see why it was a powerhouse in its day. Great cast and cinematography, creepy vibes and devilry. P. Troughton!
Filled with great acting, a great score, and a great storyline. The Omen stands the test of time as another great 70's horror movie.
One of the opening lines is "your Wife need never know" that sentence alone means you're entering a world of hurt.
Interesting to see where the culture was pre-satanic-panic. It’s tense, fun, and Damien is adorable.
Peck pulls off a brilliant performance as an Ambassador who comes to terms that his son may be the Antichrist
Creepy good film. The scares still work 45 years later
A phenomenally scary movie. Really takes advantage of the idea of a child antichrist.
Damien is born with the mark of the beast and must be stopped. Gregory Peck stars in a good film directed by the great Richard Donner
Known as one of the best horror films ever made & it true with it offsetting deaths to it themes & how dark it leave you feeling disturbed.

Immediately after their miscarriage, the US diplomat Robert Thorn adopts the newborn Damien without the knowledge of his wife. Yet what he doesn’t know is that their new son is the son of the devil.
Since the sudden and suspicious deaths of his parents, young Damien has been in the charge of his wealthy aunt and uncle and enrolled in a military school. Widely feared to be the Antichrist, he relentlessly plots to seize control of his uncle's business empire — and the world.
Damien Thorn has helped rescue the world from a recession, appearing to be a benign corporate benefactor. When he then becomes U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Damien fulfills a terrifying biblical prophecy. He also faces his own potential demise as an astronomical event brings about the second coming of Christ.
Damien Thorn is dead, but his prophecy is reborn in a mysterious girl named Delia, who is adopted by two attorneys.
When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
