The Omen (2006)
Welcome back to my blog with another horror movie! Personally this movie is one of my favorite horror movies. It is a remake of the original 1976 Omen. I haven't watched that movie yet, but it is basically the same as the remake. I loved practically everything about this movie, and I regret the fact that there are only a few horror movies made which truly scare my guts.! The suspense is built exponentially within the movie. The movie is practically based on an evil boy who turns out to be the devil himself, reborn to turn man against himself and destroy the race of mankind.
The movie starts out with a prominent ambassador adopting a baby whose parents are unknown. The ambassador's wife suffers from a miscarriage and thus the ambassador tells his wife, Kate that the adopted baby is their own, because the baby meant the world to his wife and he couldn't lose her too. 5 years go by...Kate still has no idea the baby is adopted and the ambassador takes care of the child as if his own.They name the child Damien. Days pass by and some mysterious occurrences follow. Kate notices some eccentric changes in Damien, and she feels that he is very different. She later starts fantasizing that Damien is evil and not her own son. A priest comes to warn the ambassador that the child is the devil himself and will kill his family to finish his mission. The ambassador does not listen to him and thinks the priest is mentally ill. But the following events convince him that his son is in fact extremely evil. He later goes on a quest to find out how to stop the boy's evil mission.
The child actor playing Damien is really suited. The boy looks scary at times with his dark hair and ice-cold blue eyes staring mercilessly. The depiction of the devil's effect is done uniquely, like the presence of black dogs in the vicinity of the boy and the evil nanny. There are a few scenes which are extremely violent and disturbing and should not be in any case viewed by children below 10 years.
Anyways, I recommend this movie to all horror, thriller and dark genre fans.
See you all at my next recommendation.
