hellsing what is that about! do you mean helsing?

The Omen (2006) was possibly the best remake of a horror movie to come around in years. It had no disrespectful changes, kept the exact storyline, and, aside from the kid and Julia Stiles, the acting was good. And it was cool to see Mia Farrow ('Rosemary's Baby') play the nanny, and very well.

Long story short, if they create an exact remake, people will bitch.

If they change the plot for a remake, people will bitch

If they're going to remake a horror movie, THIS is the way to do it.

At the time of posting this thread I had not actually seen this film. However, I can confirm that after watching this film yesterday I was pleasantly happy with the result.

I didn't quite understand why they had to have julia stiles waking up with strange dreams, that were actually more interesting than the real thing! However, apart from that I would say that on the whole it's really good. Didn't like the kid one bit, I wanted to smack him in the mouth! Along with Julia!

I didn't feel disapppointed afterwards. I haven't seen the original series of omen films, and so I think that helped to be honest as I didn't have any expectations about this one.

So you were complaining about a remake of a movie you havent seen?

wasn't expecting much either, but it was actually pretty decent.

that little kid was annoying as hell though. look at person, pout, squint eyes, look at camera, pout, squint eyes. arrggghh

also how inappropriate was the "tension" between the kid and mia farrow when she's feeding him strawberries ?? haha

I wasn't complaining, I was just raising a discussion to gather other peoples thoughts. Not that anything which was said on here would have influenced my decision to see it or not, but it's interesting to get feedback before you waste your hard earned cash on a low budget shit movie, and not to mention a hour and half of my life watching the bloody thing.

The Omen was the first decent remake of an old classic I ve seen in the millenium. The smartest thing the director did was to stick to the original's script, with small tweaks here and there. The casting was really debatable, but the rest was decent enuff. But still, it aint a remake which can be said to be even "on par" with the original, which was really brilliant.

Totally agree!

I really liked this remake, but i also find the story line very facinating.

I really wish that I had not seen it in the theater though, because everyone there thought it was suppose to be this big Scary Bloodfest, and all I heard was complaing and sighs and stupid middle school kids on their cell phones!

Do some fucking research before you go to the movie and ruin it for everyone else cause your bored! Or atleast see the first one!

i have heard nothing but possitive reviews of this remake... i really need to get off my ass and see it.

I disagree. The original Omen is much better. Hills have Eyes was better than the original though.
