FEATURES:
Description:
In 1976 The
Omen scored a hit with critics and audiences hungry for more
after The Exorcist with its mixture of Gothic horror and mystery and
its plot about a young boy suspected of being the personification of
the anti-Christ. Directed by Richard Donner (best known for his
Superman and Lethal Weapon films), The Omen gained a lot of
credibility from the casting of Gregory Peck and Lee Remick as a
distinguished American couple living in England, whose young son
Damien bears "the mark of the beast". At a time when graphic gore
had yet to dominate the horror genre, this film used its violence
discreetly and to great effect and the mood of dread and potential
death is masterfully maintained. It's all a bit contrived, with a
lot of biblical portent and sensational fury but few would deny it's
highly entertaining. Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score works
wonders to enhance the movie's creepy atmosphere. --Jeff Shannon
Damien: Omen II takes place several years after the
mysterious events that claimed the life of the US Ambassador and his
wife as the now teenaged and militarily enrolled Damien Thorne is
slowly being made aware of his unholy heritage and horrific destiny.
Woe is he (including anyone in Damien's adoptive family and his
classmates) who suspects the truth or gets in his way. While not as
unrelentingly frightening as its blockbuster predecessor, this
more-than-competent sequel raises some interesting questions about
the nature of free will (can the anti-Christ deny his birthright?)
before falling into a gory series of increasingly outlandish deaths,
the best of which is a terrifyingly protracted scene beneath the ice
of a frozen lake. Jerry Goldsmith (who won an Oscar for his work on
the first film in the series) contributes another marvellously
foreboding score. --Andrew Wright
The series concludes with The Omen III: The Final Conflict,
starring Sam Neill as the adult Damien--aka the son of Satan--in a
battle with the heavens for control of mankind. The film ends up
depending more heavily on effects and spectacle than on the kind of
basic horrors that made the first movie in the series so unsettling
but at least this one gives some closure to the seemingly endless
saga. --Tom Keogh,
On the original movie disc there is an all-new 45-minute
documentary, "666: The Omen Revealed", with contributions from all
the major behind-the-scenes players, including director, editor,
screenwriter (who confesses the movie was only set in England
because he wanted a free trip to London!), producer and composer.
The latter, Jerry Goldsmith, has his Oscar-winning contribution to
the movie recognised with a separate feature in which he talks
through four key musical scenes in the score. There's also a
thought-provoking short called "Curse or Coincidence?" in which the
many bizarre accidents that happened during shooting are related,
including the terrible story of what happened to the girlfriend of
the man responsible for designing the decapitation scene. Director
Richard Donner and editor Stuart Baird provide a chatty audio
commentary to the movie. The second and third films lack as many
extra features, being content with audio commentaries and theatrical
trailers: the commentary for Omen II is by producer Harvey Bernhard,
that for Omen III by director Graham Baker. --Mark Walker
The Omen (1976):
Robert and Katherine
Thorn seem to have it all. They are happily married and he is
the US Ambassador to Great Britain, but they want more than to
have children. When Katharine has a stillborn child, Robert is
approached by a priest at the hospital who suggests that they
take a healthy newborn whose mother has just died in
childbirth. Without telling his wife he agrees. After
relocating to London, strange events - and the ominous
warnings of a priest - lead him to believe that the child he
took from that Italian hospital is evil incarnate.
