The Omen(original). 09/10

Hands down this is one of the creepiest movies ever made. It does leave the feeling of the bizarre when the end credits roll. Gregory Peck is magnificient, and the rest of the cast rally up nicely around him. Great tense moments, with perfect timed background score by Jerry Goldsmith. Excellently paced by Richard Donner, who is arguably the best director in Hollywood, IMO. Great, great movie. Intensely surprising is the fact that The Omen didnt make it into the top 10 of the HDC Top 100 list. It certainly books a place in my Top 10 Horror movies of all time.

I have to agree with you on this one. I never bothered to read the HDC top 100, but i am shocked to see tyhat the Omen didnt make it... What the hell?
