With the release of The First Omen coming up, I thought it was the perfect time to have a recap of the original classic.

The score is one of the most unsettling pieces in film to me. Always gives me chills.

Yes, The Omen and Exorcist original scores are so chilling.

I just saw The First Omen and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a prequel to The Omen and shows how Damian actually came to be. It is well made movie with an excellent lead performance by Nell Tiger Free and fine acting by all involved. The sound design was excellent (leagues above your typical horror movie) and sets up the possibility of more Omen movies to come (which is not necessarily a bad thing if they are all as good as this one).

That is not Damien's mother in David Seltzer's book or the original Omen movie. The first movie is far superior to any of the movies that came after it; it's a true classic. This prequel is a reboot and an attempt at a franchise.

Thank you so much for this, the only page that found it important yet to give a summary of the first one for those who missed it ❤

The Omen was one of the first horror movies I saw. On HBO in the 70’s when I couldn’t sleep one night. Great movie!

I’ve been afraid of the omen my entire life. It’s such a good movie though I always watch it even though it makes me afraid smh

the greatest horror movie ever alongside the exorcist 3 1990 what make the omen 1976 legendary is 1- the music 2- the acting 3- the story went so smooth 4- the child was unbelievable scary without even forcing it ... his line no daddy no at the end with that smile is my favorite scenes

I really enjoyed the Omen. I told my colleague I watched it and he told me his sister had a dog that was a descendant of the rotweiler in the movie.

I'm glad you're enjoying this franchise! It's one that I'm not super familiar with, and you're making me want to watch through them again.

I watched the 1st and 2nd and loved them. I'm looking forward to the 3rd one as well. And I'm quite excited about the new one. I would recommend you trying them again!

I went to the movies to see "The Omen" (1976). I remember the strong performances by Gregory Peck, Lee Remick and David Warner. I've read where there were some strange goings-on before and during the filming of the movie.

@whatthehorror 3 ай бұрын

Yeah, great performances by all. Including Patrick Troughton.

@walterfechter8080 3 ай бұрын

@@whatthehorror Yeah. Troughton was great in all of his roles. The horrific way he met his end in "The Omen" still sends a chill. Cheers. -- W

I've seen the original Omen a few times. Excellent movie. They made such good, original horror in the 70s. This one, The Exorcist, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Legacy, Rosemary's Baby, to name a few....I'm super excited to see the new Omen movie.

Wasn't Damian born of a Jackel, not a devil like stated at 2:39?

Several large continuity issues if it's truly a prequel to Gregory Peck's Omen.

@angelousdman9161 Ай бұрын

Did not care for any of the films but loved the first omen and wanting to see where it goes the sister bien born is a nice twist just hope they continue and don't recast the actors.

Omen 1- Great Omen 2- Decent Omen 3- Average Omen 4- Bad, but unintentionally entertaining Omen remake- Boring and pointless

Sorry, The First Omen stinks! When you compare it to the 1976 omen, the 1978 sequel or the 2006 remake, The First Omen is bad! Poor acting, lack of synchronization with the series bearing in mind it is a prequel not a sequel! Not to mention the exaggerated scenes. It is a poor rendition. I realize many people sing its praises, but I'm happy to be in the group that does not. I strongly disagree with them. In fact I compare it to Omen III or even Omen IV, in terms of bad acting and poor storylines!
