![Cordae - Saturday Mornings (feat. Lil Wayne) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/z2GYJua09F0/mqdefault.jpg)
"Have no fear little one. I am here to protect Thee!"
Great line.
"Look at me, Damien! It's all for you."
Fun Fact: David Warner kept his severed head for years, until his divorce, when his ex-wife obtained custody of it.
Provocative Filmmaking Fact: Because Harvey Stephens was so young, Richard Donner found that the best way to direct him was to provoke genuine reactions before the camera. For example, when Damien is angry at being taken to church, Donner got his peeved facial expression by shouting insults to Stephens off camera. In the closing scene, Donner used reverse psychology on young Stephens telling him he shouldn't "dare laugh" or the director wouldn't be the actor's friend. So naturally, Stephens wanted to laugh, and he instead smiled directly into the camera.
Music Enthusiast Fact: Richard Donner and Harvey Bernhard asked Alan Ladd Jr., then the head of Twentieth Century Fox, for extra money during the film's post-production period to hire composer Jerry Goldsmith. They strongly felt that his music was right for the movie, after seeing him perform a live concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles earlier that year. Ladd was finally talked into giving Donner and Bernhard around $25,000 to hire Goldsmith, who would deliver his first and only Academy Award win for his score in 1977. Donner credits the success of the film to Goldsmith's score, which increased the tension and fear of the movie.
The reason for the remake was some one at the studio saw that the date June 6th 2006 was coming up and said “we should do a remake of The Omen for that date”. No other reason for the remake.
Not everyone gets this, but damien's mother was a jackal. You can hear the priest say it in Thorne's office early in the movie
Well if anyone's gonna engage in bestiality, I guess it would be Satan.
I thought it’s a dog.
I really dont get how barely anyone catches that. the skeleton made it clear once i connected it with the dogs.
The music won an Oscar for this film. The Gregorian Chants really helped make this movie what it is.
@@AT-st5dr Jerry Goldsmith didn't miss a beat when he composed the soundtrack for this movie.
The score was composed by the late great Jerry Goldsmith and won the Oscar for it that year... great reaction!
My Sister and I snuck downstairs in 1984/5, when my parents fell asleep and we watched it. She was 8 and I was 11. Big mistake, I had nightmares for a while. The music got to me I think. Thank you girls 💕
I was 6 or 7 when they first aired them on TV where I live, they made a whole show of it as they were broadcasting all 3 movies on concurrent days, barely got thorugh the first 2, the last one was too much for me, to this day I haven't seen the 3rd film in its entierity.
Don’t bother watching 3, I didn’t like it.
@@sheeps1495 3 sucked. Not even Sam Neill could save it, and he tries big time.
Pathetic
The music got to you. Did it? Not a big surprise. I have often said that the real star of this movie WAS the soundtrack!
Like The Exorcist, The Omen is a mature horror movie. They take their time to set up characters and the social climate and deliver solid writing and acting. There's a 70s thriller titled The Boys From Brazil starring Gregory Peck that I would recommend. On a personal note, I was too frightened to see The Omen in the theaters but I did buy the Jerry Goldsmith score. I believe it won an Oscar. My favorite cue is the dog attack at the cemetery as it builds wonderfully.
If only Sam and Dean were around to help!
When they filmed the baboon scene, the kid actor who played Damion was genuinely scared of the baboons-- don't blame him!
Interesting fact, Father Brennan was played by Patrick Troughton who was also the second Doctor Who.
Gregory Peck suffered a real life tragedy around this time which would've made this part especially hard for him. Spooky film with a lot of bizarre occurences that happened during it's production. Well worth looking into.
The fact Peck even took this role was kinda odd considering he was not known for doing horror and such. I do recommend watching The Boys From Brazil though where he plays Mengele. He was damn good in that part.
Killer movie, awesome reaction! Alot of urban legends surrounding this movie. Gregory Peck's son committed suicide shortly before filming began. There was also various incidents where lightning struck various planes carrying the cast and crew. When they brought the completed film back to America, the plane carrying these negatives was also struck by lightning. The animal trainer who was in charge of the baboons, was also mauled by a tiger. The film was haunted, but The Omen's success was able to fund a little unknown movie at the time called Star Wars, which would never have been made if it wasn't for the Omen.
There is no such thing as a haunted movie. Bad things happen sometimes. When someone gets hurt making a romantic comedy, no one notices.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks I have never heard of anyone getting mauled by a tiger during the filming of a romantic comedy. I could be wrong, but I doubt anyone's child committed suicide before they started filming a romantic comedy. Maybe.
@@richardheinz 👍 Thanx
@@richardheinzand I heard those Rotties found a way to bit through the stuntman protective gear injuring he seriously.
Still, I love Rottweilers..
Definitely watch the trilogy. The Omen II Damien is a teen & the Omen III Damien is an adult & it wraps up the story line.
Skip Omen 4. It's terrible, and the remake was pointless. Only clever thing they did with the remake was release it on June 6, 2006 to get the 666 release.
@@alucard624Yes, Omen 4 is a farce. It totally contradicts the end of Omen 3, which is called The Final Conflict for a reason.
The religious adviser for the Omen said Omen 4 was a classic case of Hollywood milking something - badly.
On the other hand, it is also a made for TV movie, which the trilogy films are not. So I like to see it as something "separate".
@@alucard624 Omen IV: The Awakening WAS made-for-TV rubbish. However, the 2006 remake of the original, as far as I'm concerned, was a moribund copycat attempt that demonstrated no improvement whatsoever from the original.
The priest is Patrick Troughton ( the second Dr Who )
That child did such a good job at being creepy!
The fact that this kid had an adorable face yet was so genuinely creepy is unsettling and amazing at the same time 😅
He hardly had to act. Its the camera and music that make him creepy. All he did was smile.
@@orangewarm1 ehh, he acted. Like telling a 5 year old to fight and throw a fit might not always turn out realistic, some kids laugh too much or aren’t good at displaying the rage. He did really well for his age
Nothing scarier than that fucking nany, bitch used to give me nightmares 😢
As I recall Richard Donner told the kid to come at him with everything he had and he kicked him in the balls, prompting Donner to cast him.
At the end of the movie the Kid wasnt suppose to smile at the camera but he couldn't help himself.
EDIT: SPOILER ALERT! DON'T READ THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DAMIEN: OMEN 2 Damien: Omen 2 is one of the best horror sequels in my opinion. Some people think it's even better than the original. You should definitely react to it!
yeah, I really liked it as well. The 3rd one just confused me and I'm a really big Sam Neill fan, I wanted that movie to be good so much. Hated the reboot..
Yeah after watching it I wasn't keen on using lifts for a while and preferred the stairs.
Nuh. It was crap
Omen 2 is really great....it's formulaic but the actor makes it really work and it has some really great creepy stuff in it. The raven attacking the journalist is really unsettling.
I have this thing about it though.....
I wish they'd leaned more into Damien NOT wanting to be the Antichrist....that scene where he learns the truth and freaks out and runs down to the pier and yells "Why me?!". I kinda wish that they'd done that a little earlier in the film and spent some time with him trying to fight his destiny and eventually CHOOSING to be evil, rather than just going "Oh, im the Antichrist...right then, better be a complete psycho.
I KNOW that Jonathan Scott-Taylor could have carried that off.
Agreed. What makes Damien: Omen 2 so cool IMO is that Damien actually struggles with his destiny and even fights back against it slightly. The only death that actually hurts him. Oh, and the deaths are FANTASTIC.
Hi Stella & Hayley!🙂This movie was huge when it came out in theaters in 1976! The priest started to tell Robert who Damien's real mother was at their first meeting. He said his mother was a jack........ He was going to say jackal. That is what we see buried in the cemetary. "Damien: Omen II" (1978) is also an interesting movie, and does follow Damien. Nice reactions to the original Omen film, Ladies!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I love how when Damien is riding the bike, they are playing the haunting music, and then the only sound you hear is the squeak of the bike tires.
Very creepy, adds more atmosphere to the movie...
It was all scored, though, but the dialed the music out after the door opens.
You have to watch 'Damien: Omen II' as it is fantastic and picks up the story a week after Roberts death here.
I’m so glad they’re watching this
It is the skeleton of the Jackal, an animal.
The Omen was directed by my friend Dick Donner...who went on to direct the original Superman, The Goonies and all of the Lethal Weapon films along with a lot of other great films.. Such a great director and a great guy.
He was your friend? For real? I love his Superman movies! I'm still completely head over heels in love with Christopher Reeve 😍🫠
He directed a lot of television too, including the Twilight Zone. Great director.
A Saturday scary movie with Haley and Stella is a prestigious RUclips event.
I haven't seen the remake, but I do recommend you continue with the sequel, Damien: Omen II.
Remake sucks compared to this one..
The Seventh Sign (1988) is a great heaven/hell mystery film with a great cast.
The sequels are quite good, Omen 2 and Final Conflict each have their positives.
Damien: Omen II is a remarkable follow-up to this film, that only three reactors I know of have ever reacted to. It follows Damien's awakening, to who he is, and his learning to cope with the idea as an adolescent just reaching puberty. I think you would be missing out on something if you didn't react to it. Omen III: The Final Conflict, while boasting a fine performance from Sam Neill in an early role, is somewhat disappointing as a climax to the trilogy - I have rarely rewatched that.
Entirely forgettable, since I have forgotten everything but a few images in the time since I've seen it, is the 2006 remake. I'd definitely not recommend that.
The music score won an oscar btw
One of my favourite horror films. The Omen trilogy as a whole is very good. Avoid the tv movie Omen 4 as it is absolutely terrible, but nothing to do with the first three films.
I like the 3rd one because it introduced us to Sam Neill.
I agree the trilogy is all solid. My favorite is the second.
The Omen 4 it's not Damien it's his daughter
Great reaction! I definitely recommend watching the 1978 remake of "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers" starring Donald Sutherland, Veronica Cartwright ("Alien") and a young Jeff Goldblum in one of his first movies. This film is very intense, creepy and atmospheric and is an example of a remake done right.
Totally agree. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version) has the same creepy atmosphere and growing sense of dread as this one. And it unfolds as an intriguing mystery, just like The Omen. I think you two would love it!
The original was also very good.
no, no, the original first and then, if you want, the remake
I think the 1978 version is far superior to the original (which seems kind of corny today). But that's just my opinion.
Omen 2 is great in my opinion. It follows this story. Omen 3 follows after 2 but isn't quite as good but if you enjoy the first two the sense of completion is nice.
I saw "The Exorcist" in a theater when it came out. I was 13, but back then in the town I lived you could forge a note from your parents saying it's okay for you to see a rated "R" movie and they'd let you in. I wish I hadn't done that. That movie scared me more than I thought possible.
Watching you guys react was fun. FYI, I saw an uncut version before release that was terrifying. This film was so successful the director was hired to direct "Superman" with Chris Reeve. Jerry Goldsmith, my favorite composer, won his only Oscar for The Omen's music. Forget about seeing the remake, they used the exact same script, but they did include a scene cut out of the original concerning the nanny's death. Love this movie.
The singing/chanting in Latin still gives me the chills.
I am thrilled that you two watched this. I'm not sure how scared you might have been but you were definitely shocked and it showed.
That nanny haunted me when I was younger. Those eyes
I am a fan of all three of the Omen movies. I won't give anything away so I really hope you watch the other 2. I have seen the remake and as much as I love this movie I really didn't give the new one a fair chance.
As much as I have pushed for this I hope I'm to blame, lol, and I hope you have penciled in the other suggestions.
Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Definitely check out 2. It is a worthy successor. Damien comes of age in a military school and finally understands and embraces his destiny. Just like Peck, they bring in a veteran actor (William Holden) who does an excellent job as a rich industrialist older brother to Thorn who adopts Damian.
THE OMEN TRILOGY.....absolute great movies and the music so good (great composer Jerry Goldsmith)
Big shout out to the great Billie Whitelaw as Mrs Baylock, superb actress. Loved the reaction.
Richard Donner directed this movie. He was one of the greatest film makers of all time! Just go threw his all films. Everyone knows "Superman", "The Goonies" & "Lethal Weapon,1,2,3,4". A favorite of mine I know you Two would like is "Ladyhawke"(1985). A cool Medieval, Sword & Magic movie with a very one of a kind love story.
I want to thank you and congratulate you both for being the first to do a review on this classic movie ! I’ve been asking other people for years to do a review on the Omen but no one would ever listen to my request ! I definitely recommend that you follow up with the sequels to the original Omen . There are 3 sequels and one remake ! Also the director of the Omen was Richard Donner who also directed the Lethal Weapon movies with Mel Gibson !
When Damien was lost for a minute at the beginning, “ Did you lose your kid?” “Come on guys” Spoken like people who are not parents 😂😂😂
Ooof lol
The trilogy is pretty solid overall
I love the Steley duo, their reactions together are amazing.
@13:07 "What is this thing with animals?" ... Many people believe that animals can sense evil, and you don't get much more evil than the Anti-Christ, so the poor animals were scared to death of Damian, and freaking out, either trying to get away from him, or trying to get rid of him (fight-or-flight instinct).
the second one is creepy as well ( the omen 2 , 1978) .
I like the 3d one less but the movie itself is creepy asf.
all these movies are worth a watch . i heard the remakes are just carbon copies but since i haven't watched them i can't say for myself .
The dog is a hound from hell! He won't hurt Damian. He's there to also keep Damian safe!
Favorite movie of all time. And part 2. Both arms sleeved out in these movies. I love when that dedicated nanny bossed herself out the window; loyalty is everything after all. Fyi, people died while making this movie, during and after. One guy got killed by a tiger at that zoo the day after the baboon scene, the guy who was in charge of the baboon scene itself lmao. I forget the details of all the weird things that took place during the making of this film......Gregory Peck cancelled a flight to get to filming and the people who took the same plane got on the plane the same day and died in a crash.....Peck had already had a plane get struck by lightning, as did the director I believe.
This was the first time I (and a lot of others) had seen a Rottweiler. I remember thinking, "My God, what kind of dog is that?!?" Rottweilers were not a greatly-known breed in 1976. One of the most effectively-scary soundtracks ever.
The hotel owner from Hot Fuzz ( the great Billie Whitelaw)
Glad you enjoyed The Omen guys. Definitely watch The Omen II and if you fancy trying something a tad different give The Wicker Man (1973) a go (but never never go near the Nicholas Cage remake) 🥰
My favorite out of all of these “Omen” movies is “Good Omen” 🤣 it’s just different you know 🤣 it’s the same story but different and also fun 🤣
I watched these films on VHS in the early 80's. I would have been a young teenager. I also read the books then, as I went through a phase of reading occult books, including the Exorcist. Definitely watch the 2 sequels, I did watch the remake, and it didn't leave me feeling the same as the original. There's a scene in Damien The Omen 2, that has stayed with me throughout my life, my worst fear, I've seen it in other films since and while it's horrible, none of them left me as disturbed as the Omen 2 scene.
Another great horror movie of the ‘70s is The Sentinel with Christina Rains in the lead. Well developed characters and a real creepy feel!
Just stopped by to say thx for enjoying The Omen 1976.
It’s nice to see the younger generation appreciate a classic film.
We were there in theaters..
It’s a great film, sold as a suspense film, not horror ( which is way the great actor Gregory Peck took the role). Thx for the respect.
The actor William Holden was asked to play the Gregory Peck role before Peck, but he didn't want to do a horror film. After the success of this film, he was more then ready to accept being in The Omen 2...which he was
I think the dogs are the hounds of hell. Great movie and soundtrack movie score. I was 10 yrs ld in 1976. I do remember it. They were not so strict back then about ages to movies. The music scared the crap out of me and Mrs. Baylock and the dogs...
This film so great. 🎶ava🎵. The devil dogs. That scene with the nanny in Damiens room. If Gregory Peck is afraid, then you should be as well
Trust me girls : you must go for the secuel ; and if you still feel interested, then you have the last one "The final conflict".
The remake won't give you anything.
I've been waiting for this one girls. This one is a classic!
Animals are a good sense of character. This is why the animals always start making a ruckus when he's around... Given that Damian is the epitome of evil... Also, the dog that guards Damian is called a "Hellhound" Their purpose is to be a protector for Damien while he grow's-up to understand his purpose on Earth.
AWESOME Academy Award winning Jerry Goldsmith composed score. Orchestrated by Arthur Morton. Conducted by Lionel Newman. Performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus.
Ohhh fun! I just picked ip the Shoutfactory box set of these!
Just to let you know how far back I go.., when I first saw this movie with my family back in '76, it was in a "drive-in" theater. I was very little too (why my parents thought that was an appropriate "family" movie is beyond me, LOL), and I still remembered being terrified, lol. That drive-in theater soon after became Sunrise Multiplex Theaters off the sunrise highway in NY (which I I'm not sure even exists anymore today; I haven't lived in NYC for many years now).
I highly recommend Omen 2. The same actor plays Damien as a teenager. Brilliant performance. I liked Omen 3 and Sam Neill was really good. I actually liked the remake with Julia Styles, Liev Schrieber, and the brilliant Mia Farrow as the nursemaid to Damian. There is a nice mix of original takes on the story and taking the same scenes from the OG. Having Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) as the nursemaid is terrifying. It wasn't over the top like most remakes and IMHO the character development was refreshing.
Damien is played by a different actor in Damien: Omen 2. Jonathan Scott-Taylor. He played the part well.
The music makes this movie period and it totally earned it's Oscar win. =)
The decapitation scene was one of the first on screen decaps on the big screen. They slowed it down so that audiences who covered their eyes would see the head still horrifically flying when they opened them back up. This apparently worked! XD
Great reaction, The Omen is a classic of what is often referred to as the Satanic child trilogy of classics, Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, and The Omen. I would recommend you watch all three. I would also recommend the second Omen film but would not go any further as the quality drops drastically. The "remake" is total crap, watch for a laugh if you don't mind wasting time. Also in terms of what Damien's "thing" is with the animals... The Bible refers to the Anti-Christ as "the Beast" and I would think that God's creatures not touched by sin see and recognize him for what and who he is , the dog is a demon in animal form or possessed by demon helpers. The scariest thing about this movie is that if you have any spiritual /Christian beliefs at all it is all true, prophesied in the Bible and maybe not at all as depicted in this film but there will be an Anti-Christ who will come upon this Earth to mark the end of the age and reign for 7 years before the return of the true Christ to judge this world.
I agree, the the omen movies are horrendously terrifying, and disturbing scary plus the Antichrist is on his way to make people receive the mark of the beast soon when the 3rd temple is built and stuff…. yikes 😬👀😳
I recommend watching "The Changeling" from 1980, a captivating blend of mystery, thriller, and ghostly elements starring George C. Scott. Prepare yourself for an incredibly chilling scene featuring a bouncing ball that will leave you terrified
Incredible movie! Excellent recommendation
You two are a wonderful addition to the reaction channel! 💕💕 keep up the great work!
Can never watch this film too many times:have seen many times on TV and on reactions on RUclips (for once I didn't see on original release as only 7 when it came out)🎩
I Frakking LOVE ROTTWEILERS!
I seen this in 1991 and forced my folks to get one (I guess they didn't see this movie) Cause that Rottweiler was big love monster but he wanted to destroy all intruders and anyone selling "stuff"
Joking aside, they are excellent loving dogs with proper socializing.
Please continue with Damien: Omen II and Omen III: The Final Conflict. There were actually Five books written. There was a fourth film but had Nothing to do with the books or previous films and was Horrible. The was a Remake of the Original film released on 6/6/2006.. that wasn't too bad.
Fun fact: Cerveteri is actually a real place about 50 kilometers northwest of Rome with an Etruscan necropolis. If you look at recent pictures of the place it resembles the movie setting very well.
I’ve seen this movie dozens of times (it ran almost non-stop on HBO after it’s initial release) and I still get stressed every time I watch it
First, I love your reactions. There aren't nearly enough female reactors on YT, so thanks for bringing the female perspective.
I did see this film in the theater at way too young an age! I was taken by my older cousin who swore to our grandparents that we were going to see Freaky Friday, a Disney movie. BTW, did you know they released The Omen on 6/6/76??
Anyways, it scared me to death more because as a child I empathized with Damien. It terrified me to think your parents could turn on you like that and I cried at the end when he pleads with his father, "No, Daddy, please." Ugh. You're right 70's movies were great at confronting you with unpleasant things and this moment was one of those. Even at a later time when I saw it again and now viewed it from the perspective of an adult, it was still so unpleasant to watch a child go through that. I feel like we all came out of the theater shell-shocked but again I was a child so it may just have been my cousins and me that were traumatized.
As for the rest of the films, unlike most trilogies, this one is a success. They are each great stand-alone movies made better because you are watching a continuing story. Damian: Omen II is a teenage Damian coming to terms with who he is...and just as the first film reflected some of the inherent fear of parenthood, it takes on how crappy being a teenager can be and who you chose to become. No spoilers but there are parts (just as in your reaction here) where you empathize with Damian. And isn't that the lure of the devil? There's a reason people fear him and worship him...there's a fascination with giving in to sin. It's why Lucifer is always portrayed by handsome men in films. He was an angel first, of course, he's beautiful.
The last film, Omen III: The Final Chapter stars Sam Neill (Jurassic Park's Dr. Grant) and it is a stellar performance! He's seriously underrated as an actor, especially in horror/suspense films. In this film, all that seductiveness of evil is on full display but again, the horror is on a whole higher level in this last film. This time we as the audience are asked to think about what is truly evil in our world and if evil is tolerated if the end result is something good on the whole like feeding starving people.
Technically, there is a 4th film but I would suggest skipping it. There's a reason it's not usually mentioned in the canon. The remake was solid but I would suggest finishing the trilogy first.
Sorry this is so long, but I just really appreciated the depth of your reactions to one of my favorite film franchises and I hope you react to the next two at the least. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch the next two myself because I can't just watch The Omen on its own anymore!
Definitely check out 2 and 3, they form a coherent continuation of the story.
Other films of thst era to check out might be some of the Cronenburg classics such as Rabid and Videodrome, or some of John Carpenter films such as The Thing and Prince of Darkness.
If they watch 3 they will never see Jurassic Park in the same way again. 🤣
18:12 - Now that's how snooker SHOULD be played!
I'd like to see you react to the 2006 version. They didn't change much at all, in fact, they were very faithful to the original.
Why watch the remake if there wasn't much change at all.
The remake sucked
@@duckling4393 Guilty pleasure? Ha ha! :D Edit: I like the username. :)
@@ericb9252 Maybe, but they can watch it if they want to draw their own conclusion. I'm not precious about it, I just like this channel. :)
@@SevenEllen It's basically shot for shot. It was made only to be released on 6-6-06
Even Omen 3 was better
Definitely do the sequels. It's even creepier if you know the book of Revolations.
This was a lot of fun thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the first one! Just to clarify, there's a few reactions you displayed, and I'd like to clear them up>
1. Without going too biblical, the devil has minions that are always watching out for him and his interest. They start out as animals (rottweilers who represent hellhounds, crows, rats, snakes), but you see humans entering into the movie, protecting Damien. The credits list them as "Satanists" but they're still followers of the devil who stay in the shadows. They will become more involved in the sequel...
2. The first nanny is Holly Palance, daughter of Jack Palance. Some of us may remember him from westerns, the 80s TV show "Ripley's Believe It or Not", or City Slickers. Well, thats his daughter.
3. The commentary with Richard Donner tells us how in the final scene, Richard told Damien NOT to smile at the camera. He still did it and he kept it in.
4. Many people have already said it, so I'll just brush over it. Yes, they were several deaths related to the making and even after the film was released.
5. The back story of Father Brennan (the priest who warns Robert Thorn) wasnt really explained and I had to watch the movie several times to collect more of it. Father Brennan was the previous Son of Satan, as that he had the "666" birthmark. Realizing what his destiny was, he joined the church. The movie also brushes the habit that Brennan had bible pages covering him underneath his priest clothes. He also went off on the biblical tangent because he always high on morphine, which caused the doubt of his warning.
Thats enough for now. I would definitely recommend the second movie, but thats it. The third one was tolerable, and the fourth one was a snoozer for me. Enjoy!
David Warner, who plays the photographer, passed away last year. He is also in Time After Time, about HG Wells following Jack the Ripper to 1970s San Francisco. I HIGHLY recommend it
It was on tonight on the Turner Movie Channel.
I also love how he's allowed to bring a big bundle of knives on the airplane and hold them in his lap as he flies!
The movies are
Ths Omen (1976)
Damien: Omen II (1978)
Omen III: Final Conflict (1981)
*This one actually stars Sam Neill as an adult Damien*
Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)
I've been watching various first-time viewings of this movie and I must say that I enjoyed your reactions of shock, astonishment, and horror. I'm guessing you were both very young when the 2006 remake was released.
I was 9 years old when this movie hit the theatres and I first saw it on television four years later. However, I did come across a copy of the book before that. I was intrigued by the stills from the movie. It looked like an intriguing suspense thriller type of story, but when I saw the movie for the first time, I got a lot more than I bargained for! The scene of the nanny giving Damien her own unique 'birthday present' to him just blew me away. That was the moment I knew this movie meant business! Now approaching fifty years after its release, The Omen continues to demonstrate solid shock value.
I am pleased that, upon viewing The Omen, that you appreciate the fact that good movies do not require the flexing of special effects muscles, or a stream of filthy language in order for a movie to be worth watching. All you need to do is give the viewer the ingredients of a truly good movie: a good, well-paced story, a solid cast, credible performances and an intriguing plot.
One of you touches on a couple of key points. One, I still don't believe there has never been a more potent soundtrack in the history of cinema than Jerry Goldsmith's brilliancy for this movie and two, yes, it so happens Gregory Peck turned 60 the same year the movie was released.
LOVE this film, and I really enjoyed you both as reactors and your commentary. Why should they guys have all the fun. Yes, see Omen 2!
I'm really enjoying your horror movie reactions. Glad you appreciate the 70s horror movies, those were some of the best IMO. Another good one from that era is "The Sentinel" - it has some campiness to it but still pretty good. I hope you can react to that one.
My 11 year old son talked me into seeing this movie back in 1976. Huge mistake on my part. The boy slept with the lights on until he was 20. I think he still does sometimes.
Love these girls reactions and how they sit wide eyed and open mouthed at the shock parts. Brilliant😮.
Loved your commentary, especially your sympathy for the mother :-) I had forgotten David Warner played the photographer. He's in a great sci-fi/thriller/fantasy Time After Time (1979) also stars Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen. Well worth a watch for a 70s thriller with a twist!
the mother's turmoil is very underrated in this movie- it's a huge deal to the psychological nature. the first time i saw this, I remember focusing on her and feeling that same despair.
I remember watching these when I was a lot younger.The sequel is really good you should also check it out
20th Century-Fox had their 1976 summer blockbuster with The Omen. Summer blockbusters were fresh and new thanks to Jaws, the previous summer. This success of this movie made it possible for the studio to take a financial gamble on a little film called Star Wars for summer 1977, and Star Wars financed Alien for 1979. Pay it forward.
"Damien: Omen 2" is my favourite of all the Omen movies in fact one of my favourite Horror movies, that and "Dracula Untold"
One thing i love about this is it's entirely possible to watch it from the perspective of it all just being a bunch of coincidences and everyone except Damien is mad and none of it is real.
fun fact: a year after production wrapped, the production designer in charge of the David Warner decapitation scene, had a car crash in Holland. His girlfriend went through the windscreen. She was decapitated. The designer was also thrown from the car and hit a road sign: he was 66km...from Omen, Holland.
Feel good movie from the director of Superman and Scrooged. Glad you had fun!
The original nanny was hypnotized by Damien to kill herself so the real protector of Satan could become his nanny/protector. The Final Conflict (the third movie starring Sam Neil as Damien) is pretty creepy. Recommend. Sam Neil was the main protagonist in Jurassic Park.
The sequel from 1978, "Damien:Omen II", is a must watch. It stars William Holden and Lee Grant. The third sequel isn't up to the standard of the first two. One of the great things about these 2 films is two of the great leading men of classic Hollywood were still alive to star in them : Gregory Peck and William Holden.
I didn’t see it in the theater but a couple years later on VCR. It scared me at time. I think I was a college freshman. We used to hear a lot about the Antichrist back then in the type of churches I grew up in. Years later I read Good Omens and recognized it as a sort of parody I could appreciate. If you haven’t seen the recent series by the same name I highly recommend it, especially since you’ve now seen this movie.
Agreed and OMG did you see the trailer for GOOD OMENS season 2?? It looks like it might be very good!
@@lilithofnod Yes. I'm curious to see where they will go branching off from the original book material. I'm pretty confident that Gaimen will keep it on a good track.
"This part is insane, it's hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a kid that won't remember it...."
Oh...he'll remember it alright....
As a kid in the 70's we lived less than 5 miles from 'Lion Country Safari'. They had to close it down because of lawsuits. A bunch of people were maimed or killed by the animals. I saw this film as a kid and it probably scared me more than Texas Chainsaw Massacre which I saw a couple years earlier as a very young kid.
I’m like obsessed with this movie it’s one of my favorite horror films of all time. I’m so obsessed to the point where I bought a CBS Fox release of the omen on VHS which became one of the very first releases of the movie on VHS still sealed. And it costed me hundreds of dollars but it was so worth it and hopefully it’ll grow in value over the next 20 years and I can one day sell it and make much more money off of it. But yeah that’s how obsessed I am over this film I also have it on DVD Blu-ray and I also for the hell of it recently picked up a remastered copy of the soundtrack on vinyl. But for me what really makes the movie more than anything is the bone chilling haunting atmospheric score. Which became Jerry Goldsmiths only Oscar win. Specifically the song Ave Santani which means hail Satan in Latin. And also one of my favorite Richard Donner films not only that but Richard Donner is one of my favorite filmmakers. And I’m not gonna lie every time I listen to the song Ave Santani every time I listen to it I’ll always get chills and goosebumps going up and down my spine you always get this feeling that there is an evil presence surrounding you. Watching you and looking to collect your soul I dare you girls to listen to the song at 3 AM in the dark you will probably be spooked and traumatized for the rest of your life hahahaha i’ve done it and it is kind of terrifying but so thrilling.
