Omen IV: The Awakening

On it's own it would be a somewhat decent movie, but in the context of the series it's a big piece of shit. Here's how the discussion that made this movie possible must have gone down:

Producer 1 - Hey, that Omen series could probably still make us a buck.
Producer 2 - Ya! Lets just pretend the third one never happened, but then rely on it for an important plot twist near the end!

Aside from that and the stupid plot that was basically just a dumbed down rehash of the original, it wasnt too awful. Pretty solid acting, surprisingly enough.

It was a pilot movie for a TV series (which never happened).

Probably a good thing, that would make a pretty shitty TV show.

Never seen either of those...though I was under the impression that the F13 series just had a similar title and wasnt actually related to the movies?

Everything was just so tied up with Omen IV....nowhere for a series to go without going down the exact same route as the first 3 films.

Freddy's Nightmares had some cool episodes.

I kinda liked the idea of a female antichrist
