The OMEhhN

The day the movie "The Omen" is unleashed is also the day I watched it. I wondered if seeing the movie on June 6, 2006 will have an added scare effect. I thought this movie must be something big having that date in it, it must be as interesting as the revelation of Bible secrets in Da Vinci Code. On the poster, there's this creepy looking child with a black dog. Okay... Looks scary so far. I was expecting an action-packed mystery thriller like a combination of movies such as Constantine, The Sixth Sense, Saw, and The Ring. 30 minutes have passed and the plot stayed a flat line. I then realized this movie is a combination of Land of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, The Crow, and The Dark.

Turning point... What's the turning point again? Oh yeah, the child is the devil's son! That's pretty predictable. In fact, everything is pretty predictable. Evil reigns...People die... Someone's suppose to kill the kid...bad ending. There's this photographer who caught pictures of people about to die. Was this movie directed by the same director in Final Destination? Where'd he come from? He suddenly knows about anti-christ things and teams up with the protagonist. He died leaving nothing that could've contributed to make an excellent movie. The music also helped predict what will happen next. Once you hear that creepy music, you can expect something popping out of the screen in five seconds.

I really thought the movie would be an action-packed, forever-haunting movie. I thought the kid will bring hell to earth and there would be a war waged between hell and heaven. That would be some grand war like in Lord of the Rings. After watching the movie you wouldn't be haunted by the number nor any elements shown in the movie. But the price of the movie ticket will surely haunt you forever. Your subconscious will tell you, "Congratulations, you just burned away your money." Oh man...
