David Seltzer wrote a terrific screenplay. This first class production, which is deftly directed by Richard Donner, is played with straightforward sincerity by its outstanding cast. The casting of Gregory Peck and Lee Remick was pure genius, as their noted reputations infused the movie with a believability not idea possible, given the theme of the script. Playing it straight, as a couple caught in a vortex of events over which they have runt control, they sweep the viewer along with them. Supported by a dazzling cast, there are necessary performances given by Billie Whitelaw, as the nanny with a mission, David Warner, as the photographer who begins to gaze that something uncommon seems to be going on, and Harvey Stephens, as Damien, whose angelic countenance belies his satanic nature.

Instead, inspect to be haunted out of the seat of your pants by a friendly script, extraordinary acting, deft direction, and a musical salvage that will long linger in one’s memory.

The DVD is a loaded DVD with a lot of piquant features. It provides a forty six itsy-bitsy documetary on the making of the film, which is quite piquant., as well as a director’s commentary. There is a also an engrossing, six slight short on some of the pitfalls that beset the cast and crew during the filming of the movie. The composer also has a exiguous segment of his acquire. There are the other standard features, such as theatrical trailers, interactive menus, and scene selections, as well as crystal positive visuals and audio. This is a first rate DVD of a film well worth having in one’s collection. Bravo!
I have a unfamiliar obsession with the first 2 Omen films, and fill the DVD boxed region, so I’ve seen the DVD quite a few times. This special edition includes everything from the first release: Richard Donner’s commentary, a deleted scene, the featurette on all the unique coincidences & tragedies that happened around the filming, and the impartial over 40 tiny documentary on the making of the film.
The original features added- not including the spiffy original skedaddle case mask and spooky white cover- are as follows. We bag a short introduction from director Donner, a 20 little featurette that is basically Wes Craven talking about why he likes the film so worthy. Kind of random stuff, but the thing that made me upgrade is the modern, honest under 2 hour documentary. It’s narrated by Jack Palance- that’s worth the money lawful there- and goes into detail of how it started as an view as “The Anti-Christ”, then “The Birthmark” and finally the completed “The Omen.”
This re-release was obviously done to promote the unusual remake, but they actually obtain it worth your while. The packaging really is nice, and for fans of the Omen or those fervent in the exclusive happenings that surround it- this is a gracious addition to your collection. For those of you who haven’t seen this film before- don’t substandard your judgement on the remake. This is a classy but fast-paced gleaming thriller/horror film, with extraordinary acting (especially from Gregory Peck) astounding music and cinematography. The 6/6/06 date has passed, but until the world really does ruin you should bask in this frosty release and devour a time before definite and tacky CGI jumps were considered “apprehension”.
