Entertaining and yes, still ominous after all these years. A landmark of satanic cinema.

This apocalyptic movie mostly avoids physical gore to boost its relatively unoriginal storyline with suspense, some excellent acting (especially from Warner and Whitelaw), and a very deft, incident-packed script.

All references to prophecy and the Antichrist aside, The Omen achieves its horrors the old fashioned way.

Much of the film is terrific, unnerving stuff; but much of it is kind of loopy and much too silly to take even a little seriously.

Stands alone as a wonderful horror thriller.

Silly and bloody, but at times very effective.

It was the performance of Harvey Stephens as the young Damien that invested the film with the chill of genuine credibility.
