Reviews for The Omen
As long as movies like The Omen are merely scaring us, they're fun in a portentous sort of way.

A gruesome guilty pleasure horror film, with Peck and Remick slumming, but being earnest in their performances.

A classic example of 'horror-light' - a movie that succeeds in scaring its audience witless without using most of the stock accoutrements of standard horror movies.

A menacing film about the principalities and powers at work in the universe that defy logic

Preposterous, sure. But as Apocalyptic religious fantasy, it's far more chills-inducing than, say, the hilariously earnest The Omega Code or even the convoluted and incomprehensible source material itself.

The Omen manages to have its shocks look sensible and seem convincing.

...a good, tight, little horror shocker and one of the best of the apocalyptic genre.

Creepy horror classic that's just plain fun to watch.

...it's just a really fun horror film, filled with joyously manipulative undertones of Christian fear that we may or may not believe in.
