Ahhh,...no. Simply because I've seen the original in its initial theatrical run (because my parents didn't know any better - hell, they took me along to the drive-in at the age of 6 for a double-feature of Excorcist and Shampoo). The main reason is because I know Hollywood exaggerated Damien into a maniacal, scheming kid, forsaking the innocent, unwitting spawn of Satan. Remember - he didn't find out about it until Omen II and was (at least initially) grief-stricken about it. We're gonna have another cheap Hollywood "quick money" remake to attract the cinema n00bz who don't know the difference.Ampsy wrote:Anyone watching The Omen tomorrow?

Just watch the original Omen and forget this remake. Then lift your mood with the compilation afterward. I'm not looking at any comments until after that. Oh, the suspense!..
