Robert Thorn receive news from Father Spiletto that his baby died upon birth and that his wife Katherine will never be able to conceive again. He accepts the Father's suggestion to swoop his baby with another newborn child (Damien) whose mother died while giving birth. All these are done without Katherine's knowledge. A few years later, Robert is promoted to ambassador of London. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Damien's nanny commits suicide. They hire a new nanny (Mrs Baylock) and that is when things start to happen. A priest attempts to tell Robert about Damien's true identity but is later found dead. A photographer shows Robert his findings on what is going on and he too, died. When Katherine eventually died also, Robert is determine to end everything.

The way this movie is filmed is VERY similar to Final Destination. The story is mainly about Armageddon and the plot is quite good. From what I found out, this is a remake of the 1976 movie. Somehow, the movie fails to creep me. I don't know why but it's just not eerie enough. The kid who starred as Damien is not bad, he reminds me of the little boy in The Shining. The other casts are just so so.

I give The Omen 6.5 upon 10.
