A good omen

Movie review of "The Omen".
Published on facebook.com, 19th September 2007.

This film is to Carl Orff as Reservoir Dogs is to "Stuck in the Middle With You". Brilliant, suspenseful horror as the viewer aches for the actors to catch up with what the viewer already knows, and the most sinister child you'll ever see in a horror film. Plus, some of the leading characters get dead in some really creative, grisly ways.

I have to say I see this as a horror classic, spread nicely over a trilogy that sees Neill doing for satanic possession what Jack Nicholson did for dementia in "The Shining".
