Because the originals have never interested me in the least. I've seen bits and pieces of all 4, and they just bore the shit out of me. And since I see almost every single new horror movie in the theatres anyways, if I in any way enjoy this one then there's a good chance that the original is that much better.

How 'bout this:

If you are going to see the new one for sure, why not rent the original FIRST and then, as planned, go see the new one?

The original is great, Gregorgy Peck, Lee Remick and a great supporting cast. I agree with your advise, see the original before the remake...

Then you will want to see the sequels, skip Omen IV, made for TV that was junk. The series continues on with two original novels by Gordon McGill Omen IV and Omen V, much better, that is how my posts got started, I'm hoping they (FOX STUDIOS) will one day greenlight these novels into movies.

I doubt it, but you never know.

This two disc bad-ass edition of the original will be released on June 20th.

thanks for the heads up, I will be looking forward to the release.


Have you read the two novels by Gordon McGill, Omen IV and V. Pretty good stuff if you liked the storyline.
