Review of The Omen

The Omen (1976)
8/10
Creepy as heck (spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
This movie creeped me out when I remember it being on HBO when I was young. The scene that I remember the most was the photographer that had his head cut off from an oncoming truck. I look at that scene now and realize how fake it looks. The other part I remember was the lady that hung herself from the window of the house. this whole movie is creepy, one of my favorites of the demon possession era. And Damian seems like just a normal little child under the influence of adults that come into his life trying to "protect" him. I don't think that he was ever really aware of who or what he really was. This movie grips you into it's world and makes you think about the characters involved and helps you to follow into the story. And the music was creepy enough the whole theme of this movie is worth watching.

It's just a shame that the sequels were so terrible and did not follow into what this movie was all about.
