Omen

[Prelude95Si]

I would have to agree with alkytrio666, this movie was very unnecessary. I just recently watched it on DVD and I couldn't stand it. I felt like I was watching a updated directors cut of the film b/c the scenes were almost frame for frame the same and most of the major lines were exactly the same. Also the acting was horrible! There were a few changes to the death scenes and some weird flash scenes that were different but that was it. Plus the new Damion was not creepy at all and he was hardly in the film. The movie was supposed to be about him but he was hardly in it.

There is one death scene that made me cring up, its when the Nanny goes to the hospital to visit Mrs. Thorn after she falls. The Nanny injects an air bolis into the IV line, you watch it slowly go through the IV until it hits Mrs. Thorn. That scene really got to me b/c I'm a Nurse and that is one of my biggest fears whenever I start an IV or give meds in an IV is an air bolis.

Here's a more-than-generous review I did of the movie when I first watched it in the theater...you might want to check it out...

The original is by far one of the best atmospheric horror movies ever made, IMO. The remake, well...lets just say...its decent...and I m being more than magnanimous when saying that.

This movie freaked me out the first time I saw it, so of course I had to see the re-make!
....especially since Liev Shrieber(sp?) was in it.
It wasn't too bad, didn't have the same eerie feel as the original.
I can honestly say I will never re-watch it.
