The Omen
By Denise Schoppe
October 31, 2002
Ever thought of little kids as creepy? The Omen boasts the creepiest child of them all: Damien, also known as The Antichrist. When U.S. diplomat Robert Thorn's (Gregory Peck) wife Katherine (Lee Remick) gives birth to a stillborn child, the couple adopts another baby, a little boy, whose mother died. What they got was so much more than they bargained for, as at age five, people around the boy begin dying mysteriously.
The movie was released in 1976, and any gore that is prevalent in modern movies was used only at the most powerful moments, including a decapitation that has made its way into the horror hall of fame. With shocking scenes, unforgettable music and a child's smile that can send chills down your spine, The Omen is sure to stay with you long after the credits finish rolling.
