The Omen
A staid American ambassador (Gregory Peck) and his wife (Lee Remick) are heartbroken when their child is stillborn, but their heartbreak is only beginning when they adopt an orphan. As the boy grows, disaster surrounds him, beginning with the suicide of his nanny, and as the bodies pile up, his horrified father begins to believe that the boy is evil incarnate and must be destroyed. The unique climax paved the way for the two popular sequels, DAMIEN: OMEN II and OMEN III: THE FINAL CONFLICT. Composer Jerry Goldsmith won an Academy Award for Best Score.

Commercially successful variation on The Exorcist, quite professionally assembled and more enjoyable as entertainment than its predecessor.

Very good in its own right; and more than that in its own genre
I'm a bit biased , because I have always enjoyed supernatural thrillers ( and good ones are not too easy to come by). This one is a cracker IMHO. Great cast... read more »

Hilary Swank is Katherine Winter, who lectures on the subject of Faith vs Science to rapt students, eager to hear how she travels around the world debunking modern miracles. Her scorecard currently stands at 48 for scientific explanation, 0 to the Almighty. Then she meets Doug (David Morrissey), a... Read more
