I've seen it in theater twice: opening night (a more "symbolic" than "ritualistic" experience), and the following night, with friends. Though many have criticised this film, I found it to be a rather effective, albeit unnecessary, remake. The story remains the same throughout, but I believe it adds a certain degree of "modernity" to the 1976 classic. No one can replace the great Gregory Peck, but Liev Schreiber breathes new life into "Robert Thorn," and pulls it off rather well. Julia Stiles, on the other hand, is certainly no Lee Remick, and it shows in this performance. While I don't believe she was a good choice for the role, I must give her credit for trying, and, really, she wasn't AS BAD as everyone says. Newcomer Seamus (pronounced SHAME-US) Davey-Fitzpatrick is absolutely chilling as "Damien Thorn," and brings us some of the best "B*tch" moments in film history.

The deaths are not necessarily reimagined in this film, however, they are a bit different. I won't give anything away, but they are quite spectacular, in contrast to the original.

On a humorous note, "Darth Maul" and "Emperor Palpatine" both make cameo appearances in "The Omen," and add a certain, yet brief, element of comic relief.

"The Omen" is an excellent update of an excellent classic, and is rated "R" for disturbing violent content, graphic imagery, and strong language.

"Was she on drugs, Mr. Thorn?"

Pardon me for being blunt, but going to see a remake before seeing the original is just a tad absurd.

It's like watching the "Star Wars" trilogy backward. VI, V, IV. It makes little to no sense.
