Omen Collection is the best thing that has happened in Dvd World.It is the most impressive one.I watched the first part while I was a child it made me so scary , besides the first part of Omen is my favourite one.Its sounds , pictures and atmosphere is well also the music which won oscar is really hot and bumping and I still remember the acting of the little Damien Thorn that he was very succesful and who can forget the childs cool and mysterious looking with his coal black eyes.The second part is not as good as the first one , however it is above average,The best thing is the casting in the second part the actors and the actresses are really well acting in the movie.The third part is really good.Sam Neil was acting wonderful as The Evil's Son.Besides the ending of the third part is really unique Evil Versus Jesus.Really hot stuff.And the fourth part The Awekining is the worst of all.that part is really boring and bad cause it does not have anything that goes similiar with the first three parts but it worths to watch.Besides I don't like the acting of the little girl that she was so affected and ordinary.To sum up I can say that buy The Omen Colection because it is really worth to own and make it the best of your collection.

Well, as another reviewer said, the made for TV Omen 4 does not belong in this set! As for the first three. The first was great, very creepy story about an evil young boy who would become the antichrist, and destroy anyone in his way. The second film was actually quite boring, almost like a slasher film. Long scenes of running around, resulting in a murder, over and over. The Final Conflict, the scene where the antichrist really gets going, was quite good. Especially the scenes where Sam Neil would express his feelings toward Christ in his private chambers. Very creepy and dramatic. One reviewer said the third one was the only one that seemed totally off from the biblical route. I thought that was kind of funny. None of these three movies are right on the biblical route, and Final Conflict was probably closest. To really see a realistic portrayal, rent Tribulation and Revelation, and the first of that trilogy...I don't remember the name because I haven't seen it yet. I HAVE seen Revelation and Tribulation though, and they are EXCELLENT examples of what the Bible predicts will be happening concerning the antichrist, most likely very soon. Also, catch Left Behind. The first and only one released so far, in a new series of movies. It's a bit preachy, but very good. There's also the Omega Code. Biggest budget so far, and once you get past the early bad acting, it gets pretty good. As for the Omen films, they're great antichrist movies, but they're purely fiction. Only a few scenes here and there in Omen 3 might be accurate. THey're best if viewed as horror films, in which case the first comes out on top.

OMEN - I'm sure when this movie came out it scared the socks off
people. There were definately some eerie moments within
the film. The book of Revelation has always fascinated me
along with the scriptures that tell about the rise of
the Antichrist. As for the Omen, it held my interest but
seemed to drag at times. Despite the slow pace of the
movie, it was in no way boring. Though you don't get to
see much of the 5 year old Damien (the Antichrist),
his character development is still portrayed during the
film. I give OMEN *** stars.

DAMIEN - Known as OMEN II, this movie is probably the best in
the series. Here we see 13 year old Damien brilliantly
portrayed along with his roots of power. Damien is
smart and cunning. When he learns who he is, Damien
takes desperate measures to ensure that no one close to
him betrays his trust. For the most part, there are no
slow spots within the movie and whether you like the
first Omen or not I'm sure this sequel is sure to
please. I give DAMIEN **** stars.

FINAL CONFLICT - The third Omen in the series takes a bit of a
nose dive from the previous film. Damien is 32
years old and is now in control of the world
powers. If you expect this movie to show the
ruthless reign of the Antichrist, you will be
sorely disappointed. I won't spoil the movie
for anyone who hasn't seen it but I do have a
particular complaint; though this movie gives
accurate scripture references it does not
present the audience with accurate events of
the Antichrist during his reign of power. For
example, Jesus in not going to be born a second
time here on earth. Also, the Antichrist is not
defeated until 3-4 years after he wages a war
on the nations. (Yes, I am a Christian and if
someone is going to make a movie that tells
about the rise and fall of the Antichrist then
the movie needs to stay in accordance with the
scriptures of the Bible). Another complaint I
have is that this movie drags out even more so
than the first one. Unless you want to see the
conclusion of what happens to Damien (as I'm
sure that most people will), this is not a
movie that I would recommend.
I give FINAL CONFLICT ** stars.

AWAKENING - As far as I am concerned, this is the last Omen in
the series that should have never existed. Do I say
that because this Omen is not related to the
previous three? To a certain degree, yes. As for the
movie itself, the fourth Omen was a "made for TV"
movie and it shows. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm
not saying that all TV made movies are bad but this
one definately had a mediocre script. The girl in
this movie is the daughter of Damien (the previous
Antichrist). To sum up the plot, the girl shows her
evil power in various yet ridiculous ways. The fouth
Omen is the Halloween III of the series if you will.
For the most part, it is irrelevent to the preivous
films that somehow spawned it.
I give AWAKENING * star due to the last third of the
movie being interesting.


A WASTE OF MONEY...   April 7, 2002

This 1991 made for television movie was certainly trying to capitalize on the popularity of the blockbuster 1976 film "The Omen" and the two sequels it spawned. It is not really a sequel. It tries to update the original story. Here, a young, married couple, Karen (Faye Grant) and Gene York (Michael Woods), who both happen to be well to do attorneys, are having a hard time conceiving. They go the adoption route, adopting a baby girl that they name Delia.

As Delia (Asia Vieira) grows up, she seems to have a number of issues. Animals are afraid of her. Those who succeed in annoying her seem to run into a spot of trouble. They even die, as does her Nanny, who ends up impaling herself after she falls from a second story window. Delia then gets a new nanny who looks out for her interests. Sounds familiar? You are right! it sounds an awful lot like the plot of "The Omen". It has other similarities. Here, her father may not be ambassador to another country, but he runs for public office and is elected. Delia is confident that her father, who dotes on her, will be President one day. Delia is the apple of her father's eye. It is her mother who comes to think that she is the Antichrist.

Unfortunately, the reality is that this film ends up being nothing like the original film upon which it is based. The plot becomes convoluted and ridiculous. In updating the story line, the writer brought in some new age gobbledegook that goes nowhere. The story, which starts out promisingly enough, degenerates into total absurdity and becomes unbelievable and downright laughable. Unlike the original, which was believable because of the subtlety that was employed through its straightforward presentation and deft direction, this film is anything but. Ham handedly directed and with a poor script with which to work, the actors cast never even had a chance.

Don't buy this film. If you are a fan of "The Omen" and are curious, rent it.
