      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Even with the force of a "classic" behind it, remake fever can't hold up the hollowness of this style-drenched Omen.

      Anne R Wow this was boring. They took the original and made it even less exciting and driven. This was not an improvement, it was not scary or interesting at any point. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Glitched G If you haven't seen the original Omen it's fine... but if you have it's a dreadful boring watch. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review Jacob C Contrived to the point of boring. It is painful to see a character with so many pitfalls that they become unrelatable mess. The fact the film presents its plot as a series of shocking revelations is hilarious considering the predictability. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/05/24 Full Review Erik B A competent re-telling of the original film. Some scenes are very similar, but the story firmly plants itself in a more modern setting. Fairly well done and quite enjoyable if you're a Damien fan. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review MB B I don't understand all the negative reviews. Production is well done, supporting acting by Thewlis, Postlewaite and Farrow is especially good. The kid playing Damien is a little devil. Creepy flick. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review Donnie K This is the kind of remake that makes people hate the notion of remakes. Boring, miscast, far too clean visually, and lacking any kind of new or original input. Similar to the 1998 Psycho this version does very little in the way of meriting its existence.

      Namrata Joshi Outlook The film doesn't leave you with bad dreams. It just makes you wonder: what's the point watching this remake when DVDs of the original are at hand? Rated: 2/4 Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Confirm[s] its pointlessness at every available turn. Rated: C Nov 13, 2006 Full Review Nigel Floyd Time Out A disastrously miscast remake of the 1976 horror classic, which retains the apocalyptic themes of David Seltzer's original script but renders them dull and fright-free. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Stephanie Archer Film Inquiry When it comes to The Omen, it feels as though more entertainment is to be had, rather than horror, yet finds its own layer of terror that extends beyond religion. Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault "The Omen" was ridiculous in 1976 and it’s ridiculous now. Rated: D Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News Director John Moore is very respectful to the original, with almost a shot-for-shot re-creation in this version. While I'll admit the film is well made, it lacks the tension and sense of doom that made the original work. Rated: C Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
