Hahahaah
When I was young, I was never really impressed by ''The Omen'', but when I got older, and saw it again, including the two sequels, nowadays I think ''The Omen'', ''Damien:The Omen II'' and ''The Omen:Final Conflict'' is one of the best Horror trilogies ever made. The third one is not as great, as the sequel, but it has some striking images, and Sam Neill is perfect as the older Damien.
I agree that Sam Neill is perfect as Damien in the last Omen movie in the trilogy. I do like the third one more than the previous two for some reason. I guess it's the actors and their characters (esp. Sam Neill as Damien) in the Final Conflict that made me feel that way since I felt that the boy playing Damien didn't have that much to say or do except stare at his perceived enemies, telling his story through events and the rest of the cast while he was a bit stiff. But this one's got a really good atmosphere for a 1975 horror movie.
yeah, my thoughts were similar, i was not bowled over at first, but over time, i came to think the first one was brilliant, second was very good, and the third was somewhat less.
i agree that sam neil is fantastic in the role....but i always felt that three could have been a lot better.
Generally i believe the Omen trilogy is really really great, intelligent horror.
You're probably right not a bad movie in the trilogy
@@scyphe do any of you know that there’s also a fourth movie? It’s a made-for TV movie and it came out in 1991
@@gvidovaldmanis6377 Yes, with the girl taking the place as the anti-christ. It was pretty okay when I watched it back in the day but it's pretty much a standalone movie.
This is my favorite Damien movie. Damien is older and more evolved. He is coming into his own power.
I've always loved that scene where he just knows all the dates -- basically an indication of who and what he is. Damien has a lot more dimension in this movie, rather than being out and out evil from the get go. He's kind of a reluctant antichrist at first, and that's dramatically interesting.
Happy day, another great video
I was always disappointed that they didn’t expand on his reluctance.
what movie name and description link:th-cam.com/video/Ur_ByBPtu-E/w-d-xo.html
@@pairofpints haha, of course 😁
And then the demon telling him not to show off
I grew up with the Omen ( i am 63 now). I later watched the sequels with trepidation over whether they would do them well. but a couple years ago, i stayed up all night and watched all three back to back. i have to say i thought together they were brilliant.
Just like the first movie... the singing/chanting in Latin still gives me the chills!! The close-up on Damien's face on the wall does too!!
You guys would LOVE the movie called “The Good Son” from 1993 with Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin. Such an underrated film with similar tone to Omen but modern.
Omg, yes, this is such a good movie! One of my favourites, honestly.
That movie creeped me out so much as a kid. Watching Home Alone 1 & 2 every Christmas than seeing him as pure evil. . . Wooh loved it!
I loved The Good Son, it was Macaulay Culkin's best film in my opinion.
I forgot about this movie, omg!
@@GemnEyes This is actually Elijah Wood's debut!!
10:48 - it's Bishop from "Aliens"!
A very early Lance Henriksen role, good catch.
One of my favorite trilogies. All 3 are consistently good and flow naturally into each other. Not easy to achieve when it's 3 different directors
I think that as trilogies go, this is up there with Star Wars (original trilogy) and The Godfather, regarding the flow anyways.
Damian has jackal's blood because he was birthed by a jackal (and then swapped out with another baby at the hospital in Rome in the first movie).
The reason Joan says "I don't...know" suddenly is because she realizes she hasn't confirmed Damien is the child on Yigael's wall, because the face of the anti-christ on the wall changes as the anti-christ ages, so she needed to see Damien in the flesh to be sure.
The face doesn't change, there are four faces, each depicting a stage in the life of the Antichrist.
Rosemary's Baby would be a natural followup to this.
I watched Rosemary's Baby as a young teenager and wasn't impressed. I watched it again more than 10 years later and it really scared me. So casually, patiently, amicably evil.
@@anitam7547 What I love about it is the relentless tension and the feeling of isolation you get as Mia Farrow's character is progressively gaslighted until she literally has no allies at all. Very much a slow burn type of film. The fact that it leaves you without a release of that tension actually makes it scarier to me.
It's one of the best examples of a deep audience identification with the lead character.
no no.3 would.
@@MichaelPhillipsatGreyOwlStudio One of the reasons it scared me as an adult was that it caused me to look back at uncomfortable situations with friendly adults, and to realise how vulnerable I had been. One of them was an ex vicar, and I was a naïve 17 year old living away from home (285 miles) for the first time. Nobody knows all the 'near misses' they have had with freaks of all stripes.
I watched RB for the first time last and though it was boring, silly rubbish. Each to their own though.
Notice this in the first scene with Damien. He's walking through a structure that is kind of like a hallway. You hear Mark blow his trumpet and he shouts "Damien!" Then you see Damien come toward the camera, shrouded in the fire that the gardener created to burn leaves. I've always thought that these elements show Damien as a ruler type with music and an element of nature. The imagery provokes ideas of greatness and power.
This was one of many shots from the original director Mike Hodges. Producer Harvey Bernhard really grew frustrated with Mike's directorial style as he took a very long time to set up his shots under a very tight schedule from Fox. The two reportedly got on so badly that Hodges allegedly was threatened with a gun by Bernhard over creative differences and left the project after 2 weeks in production. Had Hodges stayed on and with more creative control, I felt he would have given us many distinctive scenes of imagery with much depth.
Regarding the schoolteacher scene, where Damian knows all the dates: in the novel version, it is made clear that in his frustration, the schoolteacher quizzes Damian on a few dates of deaths that are not precisely known, or not known at all. But of course, Damian knows them anyway.
Have you read all the books? Its a shame they went with the story they did for the fourth film instead of the fourth book.that story was much better.
@@lordschwann5417 I did not read the novelization of the fourth film. Wasn't it actually a TV production, with the focus on a young girl? Y'know, I actually have DVD copies of all four films...but have never bothered to watch the fourth entry (it came in the boxset I got ages ago). I saw Damien: Omen 2 first, read the book right around when I saw it, and then backtracked to to the first film, and the novel by David Seltzer of the first film.
While in high school in the mid '80s, I read the fourth Omen book, "Omen 4: Armageddon 2000" which tells the story of Damien's son, who wants to destroy the world. It's a pretty good read.
@@sethball2475 There isn't one. A fourth and fifth Omen novel were written, but they weren't based on any films. Which is good, because the fourth Omen film was a corn-encrusted turd.
The funny thing about that cinematic universe thing is that since Disney brought out 20th Century Fox, they now technically own this film.
That makes Damien a Disney Prince.
More like a princess. It only takes Damien slipping on a ball gown and instantly he is a fully-fledged, tampon needing, minge-flap cleansing female.....apparently.
the death on the ice was the first real horror scene I had seen in a film, I think I was about 10 or 11 when I saw it and it have me nightmares for ages. Still terrifying today
The final conflict isnt as good as the first two films but sam neill gives a terrific performance.
He was great as Damian. I ignore the fourth film as it was pretty bad. The 2006 remake was meh too.
Probably the only good thing out of that movie.
The final showdown shows budget constrains.
@@Outlaw8908
I think the soundtrack to Omen III is absolutely fantastic!
I always liked part 2 the best. It was a lot more intense, and Damien has more personality and charm. I use to like to watch Omen 2 on HBO when was little... Damien was hot. Thank you for doing this review.
Sean, lakes do have currents, especially big lakes like in America (or where ever in this world)
Most certainly! Especially, if this is Lake Michigan (at a vacation lodge near Chicago).
Not to mention, the devil had his hands in the incident. . .
My favorite moment came right at the outset: Tom increased his score for "The Omen"! Some notes: The reason Joan Hart suddenly says "I'm not sure" after her "you're all in danger" rant is because she's only seen Yigal's Wall, she hasn't actually ever seen Damien in person, which is why she goes to football game, and why she freaks out when he removes his helmet. Ann's favorite art piece is The Whore Of Babylon, whom The Beast "consumes with fire" as she herself is at the climax. Don Taylor replaced Mike Hodges on the film. I met Elizabeth Shepard a couple years ago, and she said that Hodges wanted to build the suspense more. Her death scene was a little more expansive originally, where there was a farmhouse in the distance that she was trying to get to before being attacked by the Raven. It had a longer build up. Apparently the producer did not like what he was doing and wanted them to "get to the kills" more quickly. The producer also hated her red coat. and you'll notice that she and Atherton, the man who dies in the ice, are both wearing red before they die. Aunt Marion's reading a red bible and the elevator doctor has a red tie. Not much remains of Hodges work on the film, but Damien's entrance seen through fire was his. It may have been a very different film, it's pace more like the original had Hodges not been replaced. But it's a slick, fun little ride. Goldsmith score, especially the opening, is bouncy and more energetic like an adolescent, and in "The Final Conflict" is more adult and majestic. It's a terrific trilogy, and it's nice to see your reactions and that it still works, if not to the horrific level it did in the 70's. The books are great as well, and after "The Final Conflict" there were two additional books, "Armegeddon 2000" and "The Abomination", the first of which had a script set to be filmed, but the waning interest in devil movies in the '80s, and the rise in popularity of the slasher film, put a kabosh on the plans. You Brits had a fantastic quad poster after the final film that advertised "the deaths so far..." and had little pictures of everyone that died in the films. Looking forward to your review of "The Final Conflict". Sorry this was so long
So... you finally got around to seeing my favourite Omen movie. About bloody time. Ever since reaction videos became a thing I've been waiting for someone to do Damien: Omen II. I prefer the story of Damien coming to terms with his destiny. I mean he goes so far as killing his cousin who may as well be his brother (as blatantly suggested in the dialogue). It's kind of Biblical that part I think, or is that just the music making two boys standing in the woods epic? Whatever. Just love it.
I know you two whippersnappers weren't over-bowled with the first, but it was a huge hit, and this is a worthy runner-up.
If you remember from the grave scene in the first movie, two graves were uncovered.
One the baby that was swapped for Damien and the second which was the bones of a jackal which was Damiens mother.
I love this sequel almost as much as the original, though the deaths were practically telegraphed ahead of time (just like you predicted the lake death with the cake, etc). The story of Damien is very compelling, though, especially how much he loved and wanted to have Mark by his side and was anguished to have to kill him, leading to him to fully accept his role as antichrist. Are you going to watch the third? It's.....very clearly not the greatest, but Sam Neill is an excellent Damien.
Yes, Sam Neil was great.
I thought it was pretty good myself
THIS..........is better than Omen 1. Kid playing Damian is fantastic
No way is it better, it’s just different...the original is always the best
I love the kid from the original Omen. He looks so angelic and that very look in context of what we know is so creepy.
2 is the only sequel that holds up, but 3 and 4 kind of fell off.
The kid retired from acting after the movie
Smart move by the writers to have Damien not know who he is to give the movie a little emotional weight
That elevator “accident” reminded me of the beginning of Ghost Ship ☠️ great scary film!!
That last minute with the sirens, the music, and the closing shot was really impactful the first time I saw it. It was terrifying thinking that Damien was fully aware and unstoppable basically.
Yes! My favorite of the Omen trilogy. Love the Goldsmith score. The elevator scene is fricking awesome.
Btw, Damien isn't the Omen. The Omens are the things happening around him.
Great reaction guys, they did pick the right actor to play Damien because he know how to give you the creeps with his looks. The final Omen wasn't on par with the other two but Sam Neil acted well for his role.
So long NMNA! I went to Northwestern Military and Naval Academy from 1984 to 1987. I actually had the same room as Damien for one year! The school no longer exist, if I remember correctly it closed down in the late 90s.
I love you both but Toms reactions are always so damn amazing and animated 🤣🤣🤣
Great movie! My favorite of the trilogy actually. I don't know what it is but this movie absolutely creeps me out but still gives me empathy for Damien. The kid that plays Damien is absolutely chilling.
Jonathon Scott Taylor played Damien in this one. He was a child actor during the 70s and 80s. Then disappeared off the screen. Apparently he is a lawyer or barrister in London now
@@johnkennethwiseman682 Thanks for sharing. He was a brilliant actor so should be a good lawyer as well! ;-)
Looking forward to your guys' reaction to "Omen 3: The Final Conflict." It's a totally underrated sequel, as far as trilogies go. And Sam Neill does *a great* job as an adult Damien.
Sam Neill is great, though I just can't stand the boy scouts in certain scene. They are so distracting, dragging the whole movie down.
Nothing much happens in Omen 3
@@planeetgeklungel5884 Agreed. 3 tends to drag on a bit too much. Sam Neill is damn good but he seems to be the only one actually trying to make the film worth watching.
The importance of Damien's family owning that powerful agriculture company are very important from the Biblical sense, as the anti-christ is supposed to control the world's food supply.
Bill Gates
Where are you getting this nonsense?
It's true. It's going on right now with all the shipping carts not being driven by truck drivers to get the food here. The Gov and the Anti-Christ is already here and controling everything.
1978's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" Everyone seems to talk about "Halloween" but Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a MUCH better film. the 1970's came out with some great horror movies, but for some reason "IOTBS" seems to get over looked.
I think Tom and Shaun should do a double feature episode of both old Invasion and '78 Invasion.
That 78 version really freaked me out when I was a kid.
Also, Don't Look Now, which Donald Sutherland was in as well. Somber, creepy film.
One of my favorite movies of all-time. I saw the movie as a kid and it messed me up for weeks lol. It's one of those movies you can pick up something new on each repeat viewing.
The interesting thing about the book of revelation is that it is widely recognised as a keep strong rallying cry in code to Christians during the Roman occupation. In Greek isopsephy and Hebrew gematria every letter has a corresponding number and 666 is the numerical equivalent to Nero Caesar (a thoroughly pleasant man from all accounts🤦♂️). I love reading about theology, especially when it's in tandem with history.
Nero was about as pleasant as Emperor Trump.
When it comes to horror sequels, Omen 2 is definitely one of the best. I HIGHLY recommend another underrated and great horror sequel, Psycho 2.
My thoughts exactly!
Psycho 2 is an amazing film. Truly under appreciated.
Agree Psycho 2 is a great horror sequel
It's not a sequel, but I think you lads would enjoy "The Dead Zone" with Christopher Walken. Maybe put it on a to-do list and check it out in October.
Love that movie. Great atmos!
3:24 - "It's only a model." - Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
This is set in Chicago, the lake scene may well have been set on a part of the great Lake Michigan. Those lakes do have currents.
Yes, any lake with rivers that leads into and out of the lakes will create a current. Even in the small lake where I am from, you can see the differences inflowing near the shallow part. Some canoe rowers will use these currents to help them start and move faster in the water.
One thing I ADORE about this movie is everything was shot on location. They actually filmed in Chicago. This is one of my favorite films and I have a silhouette of teenage Damien as a tattoo.
@@misatchi The actor who played Damien was great in this. It'll be the main role he's known for, but what a role! Agree re the location filming, the outdoor scenes had that proper Chicago chill factor about them.
The movie takes place in Chicago. Many large lakes nearby have currents. Remember, it’s a lake , not a pond
The music in the third film is legendary. Right up there with Goldsmith's other stellar works of the time, like Gremlins, Alien, Poltergeist, Star Trek 1, and Supergirl. Even the composer of the two Hellraiser films you were choiring the titles to the other day adored Goldsmith's work on Final Conflict.
Just a little nugget of information for Shaun regarding one of his quibbles: many recreational lakes in the US are created by damming streams; there is a slow flow regulated by the dam, not enough to prevent freezing over if the weather is cold enough, but enough to make it dangerous if you fall through and can't find your way back to the hole. In winter in the northern US and Canada ice fishing--through a hole created in the frozen surface--is a popular sport, but people do sometimes drown if they miscalculate the thickness and strength of the ice.
I'd love to see a review of one of my all time favourites, Amityville 2: The Possession.
100% agreed. That is a very good film!
I prefer this one over the first because he's not just a silent creepy kid. They show his struggle with who he is. He has personality.
3rd one... i saw it but remember little about it. I remember it not being as good.
I remember that Sam Neil plays adult Damien. the first role I ever saw him in.
Sam Neil is ELECTRIC as grown-up Damien.
@@kingscorpion7346 I agree with you both there. Love Sam in anything. I just remember not liking the 3rd one much. It disappointed me for some reason. My expectations were too high.
Did you get the Horsemen? The Military School leader(War) The Pesticide Business man talking about (Famine) being their business. Not sure about the other two yet, but maybe they show up in three, haven't seen the third movie.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Jeff Goldblum and Donald Sutherland is a good classic horror movie. If you want more modern , and a real mind f**k, please react to Triangle with Melissa George !! Great reactions guys👍
Don’t forget Leonard Nimoy aka Spock from Star Trek.
Damian: the missing Brady Bunch kid.
I saw this film as a kid in the eighties and it spooked me because my name is Damian and my older brother's name is Mark. Actually it freaked him out more as back then I was too young and just thought it was a funny coincidence, he wasn't so sure. Also to this day I can't make bad things happen to people with my mind if they happen to vex me in some way.
The Omen ran so that Final Destination could run a little bit slower.
I saw this when it was new at my local drive-in theater. Great sequel. Any plans to do "Phantasm"?
The Changeling!!! 1980
Fun fact, William Holden was offered the role of the father of the first Omen, he turned it down and Gregory Peck got it .As the film was a huge hit, William Holden did accept this role as the uncle in the sequeal, the third one I think was not as good as the first and second but then again I am a huge William Holden fan ;)
I usually don’t like sequels to movies, but The Omen trilogy of all three movies is actually terrific. So glad to see you reviewing this! Btw, yes, Damien’s blood cells are those of a jackal, as seen in the first movie (the skeleton of a jackal at the graveyard) and the priest at Gregory Peck’s office who started to say, “His mother was a ja…” but gets cut off when the guards come in the door.
I love this first two Omen movies. I love the kid playing Damien, think he's really good and I love how this one is about Damien realising who he is and coming to terms with that. Not to mention the awesome score. P.S. lakes can have currents.
I've seen this film 30-40!times ,and I have never noticed ,the birthday cake with the knife going into the lake
I can’t make out whether this is an Omen film or a Final Destination film.
It's an Omen film with a new Patrick Troughton or David Warner every ten minutes.
9:14 yes it is a foreshadow. But it also was referred earlier in the film. When Paul spoke with Richard regarding his project being postponed by Atherton. He said "will we keep it on ice?"
I JUST realized that the Sgt. is Lance Henriksen. Dude!!!! I haven't seen this movie since we rented it in the 1980s on VHS. Wow...the things we forget. I want to thank Cinema Rules for watching random stuff that takes me down memory lane. It's a fond memory because my father and I rented horror movies on the weekends during the summer and school vacations. Good times. Dad's still around but he's into animated movies now and we don't ever just hang out and watch movies anymore. Maybe I'll carve out some time next week for that. Thanks again, guys! Sorry to get all sentimental.
Great reacion video guys, you covered all the points about this movie brilliantly, i think the only thing i can add to your thoughts on the movie is there's a bit of a inner turmoil when Damien discovers who he is which i thnk could've been fleshed out a bit more as he goes from being upset to acceptance a little too quick.
Be interesting hear your thoughts on the Final Conflict, as i said before you guys are awesome, love the witty banter mixed with great opinions on each movie you react to.
I don't know how much longer I can wait for your reaction to Scream 2. Patiently waiting
The grandmother, Sylvia Sydney, lived in my town. I waited on her. Many whiskeys. Whiskey for starters. Whiskey for main. Whiskey for pudding.
One of my favorite movies
The Medusa Touch .....with Richard Burton
I forgot William Holden was in this. I just keep expecting him to say, "If they move, kill 'em..." This series almost acts as a precursor to Final Destination. This spooky entity which has you in its clutches....
Always liked this one better for several reasons, the top being that it's just more interesting to have the character start out having no idea who he is, then find out but resist it, and in the end embrace it. His combined background of the military, corporate, and political worlds make the final shot creepy as hell.
Damn, best movie reaction channel by some distance.
It only makes sense that he has jackal's blood given that in the first movie we discovered that his mother's grave contained the skeleton of a jackal.
You guys are awesome!
Rosemary's Baby.
I usually skip over most movie reactors intros because they talk a lot without saying anything worthwhile. I never skip your intros because they're always interesting, intelligent and thoughtful, other reactors might want to take note. "THE SENTINEL" 1977 is another great, but forgotten, underrated 70s gem, well known for it's controversial and shocking third act. I was wondering in the future if you might be reacting to any comedies or dramas.
Such a solid sequel.
Definitely a remix of the film it fallows,
but done in more taught, and slick way.
The BRUTAL deaths, the train car death. SAVAGE.
The verbal fencing match scene between
Damien and the arrogant school instructor,
such a great exchange.
Jonathan Scott-Taylor was perfect in his role there. He really embodied the character.
Those 7 daggers are such cool props.
Aunt Marion actress played Juno in Beetlejuice
Composer Jerry Goldsmith (who won an Academy Award for best original score for the first Omen movie) in some ways exceeded the first. Primarily, I think, because Goldsmith was very progressive in embracing traditional orchestral music and combining it with very unusual instruments, synthesizer and odd mixed meters. He was constantly experimenting. He was a cut above the rest.
My life is not complete until you guys do Sleepaway Camp.
I saw the original Omen as a 9 year old in the theater and was bowled over, saw Damien Omen 2 when it came out and thought it was Hell a good too, a worthy sequel, I was pretty precocious as a kid. One of the best sequels ever if you ask me. The third one I could do without and anything, remakes etc... after this one forget about it.
I loved both the first and second movies when I first saw them. I love the scene with the "death dates" and the scene where the scientist sees he has the blood type of a jackal and is killed by the elevator always scared me the most in this one.
Sam Neil is utterly fantastic in Omen III: The Final Conflict.
I won't lying, seeing the picture with Damien face genuienly frightened me when I was younger. I saw this movie when I was 15 or so and it and the original Omen left quite an impression on me.
You guys should react to Event Horizon
I actually enjoyed the omen series lol. It kind of reminded me of final destination before final destination was a thing
I liked "The Omen 2", just for the genius music of Jerry Goldsmith ! 😍💖
I think you two would love Citizen X, it’s not a horror movie but it is based off of a real detective hunting a serial killer
That's a tremendous movie. Also it's like the antidote to all those movies where the killer is a genius/poet/gourmet/author - a superhero. The killer here is just a poor loser who's at the mercy of his compulsions, and they save the love for the good guys.
The woman who played the reporter; Joan Hart was the original Emma Peel in The Avengers and then was replaced by Dame Diana Rigg.
Whilst yes this is true - the only episode she filmed was never transmitted...indeed I don't know if it was ever even fine edited?!
@@routemaster19 I think they replaced her before they even completed filming the episode.
@@bradstromberg5146 Apparently she completed "Town of no Return" and had just started on "Murder Market" when she was told she was no longer required :-/ It was probably the right decision especially as we got Diana as her replacement :-D
@@routemaster19 Oh no question. I'm sure Elizabeth is a lovely, talented woman but they made the right decision. 🤗
The elevator in this film is the actual elevator in Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry (though it only goes through three floors). My family and I go there all the time...and the first time I went there with my wife (one of our first dates), I took one look at it and knew right away: "Oh my God...the Damien elevator!" I was almost scared to get on it!!
I was very happy to see the remake on 06/06/06. I still have the ticket!
I want you both to do Alien epic film
The elevator scene has always been my favorite scene as a kid (I was a complete horror wimp). I can’t wait till you see Sam Neil in the final movie. Sam Neil has been in some great horror movies! (Event Horizon and The Mouth of Madness)
Nice to know that Americans aren't the only ones who say "rich people...(fill-in with whatever they do to piss off us worker bees)". LOL. I always enjoy a reaction & review from Cinema Rules! Thanks guys!
The first one, directed by the great Richard Donner, did the film in a way that it could either be a really bad day for Damien's father, or he truly is the son of the Devil. The dichotomy of the film makes it a great movie. But since we now know he's the son of the Devil, you can't do that same dichotomy again. Damien IS the son of the Devil, and it's a fun movie (definitely up'd the gore factor), but I think the original is still superior.
I remember after watching this as a kid, I ran to the bathroom to check my scalp to make sure I didn't have 666 written anywhere on it.
My favorite out of the trilogy, yes I said trilogy. Goldsmith's score is just plain AWESOME.
Great video! I just found your channel now. DAMIEN OMEN II is my favorite of the trilogy (in fact, one of my favorite movies). It's so intense and Damien's character make this one feel a bit more fleshed out.
I like when they say "Oh!"
The Adventure of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 2005- Full Movie HD what movie name anyone
Damien was personally present on all those dates mentioned with the history teacher.
Saw this in the theater when I was 8 with my family. Scared the hell out of me.
Damien: The Omen 2 is a great sequel.
I loved how intrigued you guys got when “The Omen” started answering all the deaths. The teacher in Tom began to show. 😂😁
Jonathan scott taylors performance in Damien omen 2 was always my favourite.. though performances from Gregory peck the 1st omen & Sam Neil 3rd omen were also perfectly cast and the score by Gerry Goldsmith is outstanding 🏆 and still has me hooked today.
Ah! Just thought of a great suggestion for a reaction. It's a film you likely won't have heard of but anyone who has seen it will know why The Omen makes me think of it. The Other (1972). Although I only recently got it on Blu Ray myself by ordering from Australia, took ages to get here. It would be worth it to give such an unknown classic a little attention. You may laugh at the mother's reaction to things when you first watch it, but hopefully it'll be because you don't understand yet what is going on. No spoilers people.
"The Other" is by far one of the most underrated, forgotten, beautiful horror films there ever was. I have seen that movie so many times, and almost every time there's some new moments or foreshadowing or beautiful little tidbits I never noticed before. That is a great film!
@@ONJRJCF I totaly agree. The Udvarnoky boy does a great job in the movie. A too much forgotten gem. Jerry Goldsmith's score is great. He also did the magnificant music for the Omen Trilogy and 5 of the Star Trek movies.
The Other was amazing! I recommend it as well.
@@charlesanderson2213 and one more comment: Goldsmith score for The Final Conflict, I consider to be one of his best. So majestic in parts. And all that whispering.
Never watched the second or third film, might have to check it out now.
