    Fun Fact: The young actor playing Damien wasn't supposed to smile in the final shot. He was supposed to stare into the camera with a sinister look, but the boy kept laughing with each take. On the final take, director Richard Donner(Superman, Lethal Weapon) tried to keep him from laughing by saying, "Don't you laugh! Don't you laugh!" Trying to hold in his laughter, the boy ended up smiling instead, and Donner decided to go with that take, as the smile was far more sinister.

      Also, several tragedies occurred on and off the sets which religious consultants warned were proof "The Devil does not want this film to be made" but the Atheist director Donner chalked the 'unfortunate accidents' up to 'coincidence'.
      -Several of the cast and crew had accidents remarkably similar to the ones in the screenplay happen to them.
      -The orangutan attack in The Film was real and was added to the screenplay after it happened on set!
      -The naturally blond child actor Harvey Stephens who was cast as Damien had his hair dyed jet black each day of filming which, according to the makeup team' made him a right terror to work with'. Also, as an adult Stephens is fairly well-adjusted(He`s a defense attorney in his native Surrey now) and doesn`t remember the filming.
      -The actor playing the photographer in The Film and Gregory Peck were on planes.
      -Getting the real dogs on set to act like Hell Hounds required measures that got The Film in plenty of legal heat with PETA.
      -Right before the final confrontation between Robert Thorn and Damien, Gregory Peck`s IRL son died of cancer. Peck's tears as he attacked Damien in The Film`s climax were real tears!

      @Jenny P Actually, it is true that there were tragedies on the set. The special effects man who was responsible for doing the decapitation scene where David Warner's character dies, was driving in his car with his girlfriend when an airplane that had engine trouble crashed onto the highway and the guy's girlfriend ended up being decapitated.

    When “The Omen” was shown to test audiences before it was released, director Richard Donner realized that people in the audience looked away or covered their eyes when the photographer was beheaded. He wanted to scare the shit out of the audience, so during the decapitation he had the film slowed down to half speed, so people would think the gross part was over and look back at the screen again, and when they did they the head flying slowly through the air.
    Another thing that made the a great film was it had great actors. Horror films were not known for getting Oscar winning, top tier actors and actresses. Gregory Peck had been a huge star in Hollywood since the 40’s and was considered one of the great actors. Lee Remick had also been in numerous films and was regarded as one of the great dramatic actresses. To see stars like this is gory horror film was quite a shock.

    It was asked why he lied to his wife about the baby? In the novel Kathy went through mental health issues and failed pregnancy. He knew that by telling her about another pregnancy loss would have killed her.

    Thanks for your reaction guys. I've been enjoying your comments & honest reactions. I saw this film with my twin & a mutual friend, & it affected me much more than The Exorcist (but I won't disagree with your rankings of these two films). Just as Gregory Peck, with dagger in hand, was holding Damien on the altar I jumped up in a crowded theater & started screaming Kill Him! Kill Him! Kill Him!, embarrassing my twin & out mutual friend. Jump forward to a few years later & I'm at a re-release of the same film in a crowded theater, with my Mom & my five year old niece & her first granddaughter, , Rhonda. (I was baby-sitting.) When David Warner's head rolled down the sheet of glass, five year old Rhonda stood up, laughed, & clapped her hands, prompting my Mom turning to me & whispering "Sit that little psychopath back down!" Rhonda did not grow up to be a psychopath, but she loves horror films just as much as I do. And as for Rhonda being too young --- I've been watching horror films since I was 4 years old.
    One last point: The Omen is more similar to Rosemary's Baby than to The Exorcist.

    The Book of Revelation says nothing about some son of the devil, just FYI. It is a common concept in fiction, but it has no biblical backing.
    It does mention the "anti-Christ", but this is more likely referring to the mindset of being "against Christ" rather than an actual singular person.
    Similar to the concept of the "Rapture", which is also a more modern concept, this one being pretty much exclusive to the Anglican Church and its sub-sects.

    You guys are brilliant! I love watching your videos. There's one 70's horror flick that you guys need to see...Brian DePalma's version of "Carrie" (1976). It was based on a Stephen King novel. I'll bet that you would enjoy it.

    Talk about cursed movies......this one is bad. Just look it up. Gregory Peck's son committed suicide just before production started. The dog trainer mauled to death, one of the producers or asst. directors killed 66.6 km from a town called Ommen (decapitated), the cast and crew's planes being struck by lightning. The list goes on. Look it up. I've never been able to look at Rottweilers the same way.

    Your review is spot on. The music score by composer Jerry Goldsmith, easily one of the top 5 film composers of all time, won an Academy Award for "The Omen" in 1977. "Ave Satani" was nominated for best song. Goldsmith had been nominated for a total of 18 Academy Awards in his very long and prestigious career. He is responsible for the music for classic films such as "Patton", "Planet of the Apes", "Alien" (The original Ridley Scott film from 1979), "Poltergeist" (1982)-which was also nominated for best original score, "Star Trek-The Motion Picture" (1979), and several other Star Trek films, as well as the main theme for "Star Trek-TNG" and "Star Trek-Voyager". His resume is too long to do justice to his brilliant career in one post. Put it to you this way: Goldsmith is the complete opposite of Hans Zimmer, in that Goldsmith was a talented, trained and gifted composer. Whereas, Zimmer is a turd that got flushed down the toilet, but keeps reappearing in the toilet bowl for some unknown reason. I'm so happy that Gen Y and Gen Z appreciate great film music.

    I totally disagree with you guys. For starters, y'all need to keep in mind the year this was made. There wasn't all of this high tech that they could depend on. So, movies had to actually tell their own stories. Also, because the entire idea is that the Book of Revelation" is unfolding, that all by itself makes this movie a 10, for me. You really have to understand Revelation. Also, the reason for the moving around is important because it sets up WHERE the son of the devil ends up. The Book of Revelation states that he will rise up from the world of politics. It's the backstory that makes this so intriguing. The movie was informative; you just had to really listen to the dialogue. For instance, the poem that the priest recited had so much information about the goings-on of this move. Furthermore, "The Omen II" explains things a little more.
    I know y'all felt like the movie was slow, but I disagree. I mean, maybe it was slow, but you have to learn to SAVOR and really watch with a different perspective. I feel modern technology has really ruined the greatness of what old movies offered. I'm glad I was born in 1969 because it has allowed me to appreciate the ART of creating movies that don't rely on stupid-looking, over-done technology to help tell the stories.

    The Omen doesn't stand up as well as many of the classics if you ask me. There's a distinct clash in tones between some bits, especially some of the kills which are rather over the top, and the more creepy subdued parts. I think this movie should have stuck with one or the other. That being said the theme in this movie is one of the best bits of horror music in all of cinema.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say by any means it's bad, just that, to me, it's my least favourite of the five movies you've watched thus far

    Hey guys! I just watched Funny Games, a 1997 film directed by Michael Haneke; in it one of the sadistic villains occasionally speaks to the audience (breaking the fourth wall). I haven't made up my mind whether this is a horror film or a thriller. Have either of you seen it? There was a remake in 2007, but it was a shot for shot identical film much as Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho & the Psycho remake was dreadful. So, I'm not even considering watching the Funny Games remake. Would you consider reacting to the 1997 film of Funny Games? I would really enjoy seeing your reactions. I'm not saying it's a great film, & that it couldn't have used some cutting, as it is a bit slow in places, but the last 15 minutes are unique. (at least to me: I've never seen what happens in this film in any other film). Thanks -- guys......

  • @tbone35453
    @tbone35453 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The score is a black mass chant called 'Ave Satani' (Hail Satan). The lyrics are an inversion of Latin Gregorian chants, with things like 'body of anti-Christ' instead of 'body of Christ'. Jerry Goldsmith created this score, as well as the score for Psycho 2 and may other great films. I think you're being a bit harsh with the rating, it has a great concept, score, performances and plot. What terrifies me about The Omen is the psychological dimension to the film. There is an unspoken dread that Satan is watching and protecting his son. The score during the death scenes evokes in my mind a choir of fallen angels watching and exalting as another victim is killed.
    I'm a bit of an Omen fanboy and actually visited three of the film's locations last year: Guildford cathedral, where Damien attacks Kathy in the car, Bishop's Park, Fulham, London where Robert meets father Brennan, and the nearby church where Brennan is impaled.
    There's a museum in Bishop's park in Fulham Palace and I was a bit freaked out when I was looking at the exhibits and came across the skeleton of a dog in a glass case! Apparently, one of the Bishops who resided there found it a while ago. It is thought have been owned by a priest who lived there in the 19th century.

I hear movie from 70s-80s and I instantly know I'm in for a treat, no shitty CGI, amazing practical effects, directors and writers that had balls and were willing to take chances, and great emotive actors that don't play one note their entire career. And this is coming, regretfully, from a millenial, older movies will always be better than films past 2000, hands down, no contest.
