    Fun Fact: The young actor playing Damien wasn't supposed to smile in the final shot. He was supposed to stare into the camera with a sinister look, but the boy kept laughing with each take. On the final take, director Richard Donner(Superman, Lethal Weapon) tried to keep him from laughing by saying, "Don't you laugh! Don't you laugh!" Trying to hold in his laughter, the boy ended up smiling instead, and Donner decided to go with that take, as the smile was far more sinister.

    Also, several tragedies occurred on and off the sets which religious consultants warned were proof "The Devil does not want this film to be made" but the Atheist director Donner chalked the 'unfortunate accidents' up to 'coincidence'. -Several of the cast and crew had accidents remarkably similar to the ones in the screenplay happen to them. -The orangutan attack in The Film was real and was added to the screenplay after it happened on set! -The naturally blond child actor Harvey Stephens who was cast as Damien had his hair dyed jet black each day of filming which, according to the makeup team' made him a right terror to work with'. Also, as an adult Stephens is fairly well-adjusted(He`s a defense attorney in his native Surrey now) and doesn`t remember the filming. -The actor playing the photographer in The Film and Gregory Peck were on planes. -Getting the real dogs on set to act like Hell Hounds required measures that got The Film in plenty of legal heat with PETA. -Right before the final confrontation between Robert Thorn and Damien, Gregory Peck`s IRL son died of cancer. Peck's tears as he attacked Damien in The Film`s climax were real tears!

    When “The Omen” was shown to test audiences before it was released, director Richard Donner realized that people in the audience looked away or covered their eyes when the photographer was beheaded. He wanted to scare the shit out of the audience, so during the decapitation he had the film slowed down to half speed, so people would think the gross part was over and look back at the screen again, and when they did they the head flying slowly through the air. Another thing that made the a great film was it had great actors. Horror films were not known for getting Oscar winning, top tier actors and actresses. Gregory Peck had been a huge star in Hollywood since the 40’s and was considered one of the great actors. Lee Remick had also been in numerous films and was regarded as one of the great dramatic actresses. To see stars like this is gory horror film was quite a shock.

    Thanks for your reaction guys. I've been enjoying your comments & honest reactions. I saw this film with my twin & a mutual friend, & it affected me much more than The Exorcist (but I won't disagree with your rankings of these two films). Just as Gregory Peck, with dagger in hand, was holding Damien on the altar I jumped up in a crowded theater & started screaming Kill Him! Kill Him! Kill Him!, embarrassing my twin & out mutual friend. Jump forward to a few years later & I'm at a re-release of the same film in a crowded theater, with my Mom & my five year old niece & her first granddaughter, , Rhonda. (I was baby-sitting.) When David Warner's head rolled down the sheet of glass, five year old Rhonda stood up, laughed, & clapped her hands, prompting my Mom turning to me & whispering "Sit that little psychopath back down!" Rhonda did not grow up to be a psychopath, but she loves horror films just as much as I do. And as for Rhonda being too young --- I've been watching horror films since I was 4 years old. One last point: The Omen is more similar to Rosemary's Baby than to The Exorcist.

    It was asked why he lied to his wife about the baby? In the novel Kathy went through mental health issues and failed pregnancy. He knew that by telling her about another pregnancy loss would have killed her. It's even more heartbreaking that Gregory Peck had just lost his son, which is channeled into his performance.

    Your review is spot on. The music score by composer Jerry Goldsmith, easily one of the top 5 film composers of all time, won an Academy Award for "The Omen" in 1977. "Ave Satani" was nominated for best song. Goldsmith had been nominated for a total of 18 Academy Awards in his very long and prestigious career. He is responsible for the music for classic films such as "Patton", "Planet of the Apes", "Alien" (The original Ridley Scott film from 1979), "Poltergeist" (1982)-which was also nominated for best original score, "Star Trek-The Motion Picture" (1979), and several other Star Trek films, as well as the main theme for "Star Trek-TNG" and "Star Trek-Voyager". His resume is too long to do justice to his brilliant career in one post. Put it to you this way: Goldsmith is the complete opposite of Hans Zimmer, in that Goldsmith was a talented, trained and gifted composer. Whereas, Zimmer is a turd that got flushed down the toilet, but keeps reappearing in the toilet bowl for some unknown reason. I'm so happy that Gen Y and Gen Z appreciate great film music.

I hear movie from 70s-80s and I instantly know I'm in for a treat, no shitty CGI, amazing practical effects, directors and writers that had balls and were willing to take chances, and great emotive actors that don't play one note their entire career. And this is coming, regretfully, from a millenial, older movies will always be better than films past 2000, hands down, no contest.

    Quote from director Richard Donner, on the final image in The Omen: "I told Harvey (the name of the kid who plays Damien) that he was going to turn around slowly and look into to the camera, all serious. So we roll cameras, I say 'Ok Harvey turn slowly' and he did, looked right into the camera - with this grim and serious face of his. Then I said 'Don't smile. Don't you dare smile! Do not smile Harvey!' and sure enough, he breaks out into this wide grin. Shot complete!" Also: You really should watch pt2 & 3, they're basically a set, that finishes the whole story.

    The score is a black mass chant called 'Ave Satani' (Hail Satan). The lyrics are an inversion of Latin Gregorian chants, with things like 'body of anti-Christ' instead of 'body of Christ'. Jerry Goldsmith created this score, as well as the score for Psycho 2 and may other great films. I think you're being a bit harsh with the rating, it has a great concept, score, performances and plot. What terrifies me about The Omen is the psychological dimension to the film. There is an unspoken dread that Satan is watching and protecting his son. The score during the death scenes evokes in my mind a choir of fallen angels watching and exalting as another victim is killed. I'm a bit of an Omen fanboy and actually visited three of the film's locations last year: Guildford cathedral, where Damien attacks Kathy in the car, Bishop's Park, Fulham, London where Robert meets father Brennan, and the nearby church where Brennan is impaled. There's a museum in Bishop's park in Fulham Palace and I was a bit freaked out when I was looking at the exhibits and came across the skeleton of a dog in a glass case! Apparently, one of the Bishops who resided there found it a while ago. It is thought have been owned by a priest who lived there in the 19th century.

Carrie, Phantasm, Suspiria and Salem's Lot (mini series) are some other good recommendations. Also some TV horror movies from the early 80's are worth a watch. Don't Go To Sleep and Dark Night of the Scarecrow. They have low budgets but are extremely creepy and well done.

    I saw this film, with my mother, in 1976, on the opening night .. and my mother only came to see it with me because of the fabulous cast in it (Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Patrich Troughton, Billie Whitelaw). Everyone who went to see it knew that it was going to be ''a film about the Devil'' but I don't think that anyone was expecting the decapitation scene .. or the ''downbeat'' ending. The Devil won !! Evil never won in horror films back then.
