![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I don't mind a Damien that looks like Batboy from the Weekly World News. The demons were spooky and the new Damien is one goony looking little boy, which is great. I also like the move from English characters to Americans (though this really doesn't matter). Many people really feel the apocalypse is coming, so this was an appropriate choice. This does seem to imply that American tragedies are more important than non-American ones, though. My favorite thing about the film was the adaptation of the plot to fit around 9/11, and the space shuttle disaster, which were obviously missing from the original. But they did good, keeping many scenes identical but making the story very 2006 appropriate. This alone is enough to make me wonder why they remade it (why remake good movies when there are so many bad films to fix?). What happens when the son of the devil is raised by an American politician and his young wife? Exactly what you'd expect: all hell breaks loose! While I haven't seen the original Omen in a while, I remember a few key scenes clearly and I remember I liked it. ![]()
