This movie is about the conspiracy of the devils advocates to replace the child of an influential politician by the devil's child --the antichrist so that he can overtake the world.

This movie, heralded by many as the scariest terror picture of all time, is a brilliant work of technical excellence and editing. A slick movie that is very clear about where it is going. It is a very commercial movie in a sense, most horror shots are well presented and follow a fairly clear, occasionally contrived, build-up.

A well deserving heir to Rosemary's Baby(1967) and Exorcist(1972), Omen is a more polished, more commercial, more modern version of the 3 pioneer movies all dealing with the same subject of the birth of devil's son. It has the advantages of the then state of the art effects and camera work.

Richard Donner does one of his first horror/terror movies and does an excellent job. He keeps the movie very stylized and intriguing. Use of quotes from the Bible make it very thorough and interesting.

This movie is a must. For horror fans, for film students and film enthusiasts all alike.
