Scene for scene remakes always seem very pointless to me. Whilst this film adds in its own interesting elements to rework the classic original film, these minor changes simply aren't enough to justify making this very lukewarm remake that somehow also tries to convince us that Prague is London (?!?). Ditch Liev Schrieber, Julia Stiles and this very annoying child and go watch Gregory Peck and Lee Remick in Richard Donner's original, masterful version instead!!

But this is a great film in it's own right!

We paid £3.49 to watch it wasn't even very good we thought it would of. Been scary it really Was a waste of money .. Wouldn't recommend it ...

Just scene it ! Wish I had not utter crap ! Just hope they don't do the same to Damien , and the final Conflict :-(

All horrors are the same. This one though gives you the entire plot in the first 3 minutes for some reason. Therefore there is no suspense and you know only bad things are going to happen, and more disappointingly, why they happen. No suspense/shock other than the loud noises etc.

Good film... Nowhere near as good as the original which IMO only the Exorcist beats it as the scariest film EVER! Worth a rent just too see how it rates with the original.

What more can I say? I need to see the original now!!! :)

This is an extremely clever film! Chilling and almost disturbing! I

this is an amazing film! would love for the origonal and 2nd films to be on itunes

Not a patch on the original though! Why on earth did they dispense with the soundtrack from the original?

That this is a good film isn't in debate at all in my mind.

My issue is that since it is a direct remake of the Richard Donner film so it adds nothing but money to peoples bank accounts.

Its fine to watch until you get the 1976 version which is worth it just for the soundtrack and the creepy smile in the final shot.

There have been so many remakes recently of the classic horror film, that anything original fails in comparison. The Omen is a brilliant thriller and it is a descent remake. The acting is great and the story is creepy and full of tension throughout the film. There are some gory, disturbing death scenes and Damien is as creepy as ever. If you like this film then do check out the original.

For once Hollywood has not ruined a classic with a remake. They have done a good job with The Omen. Would recommend seeing the original first
