The Omen

Here is a re-make that simply never should have happened. While not entirely horrible it lacks...for lack of a better word..ooomph. An almost shot for shot recreation of the original it fails to have the same atmosphere and hence fails to elicit any proper scares. Oh sure, the visual eefects are far better and it does contain one of the best beheadings ever put to screen but that is simply not enough. It is nice to see Mia Farrow here though I suspect she, like the rest of the cast, would have rather been elsewhere. You should be elsewhere too!
