The Omen

Released: 2006
Horror
Director: John Moore
Starring: Liev Schreiber, Julia Stiles
Running Time: 110 minutes
Rated: R

The breakdown:  The remake of the 1976 horror classic of the same name, except there wasn't any apparent reason to do so.  The plot's about a young child that is potentially the anti-Christ.

So, I've never seen the original, but my husband had and he wanted to see how different this version was.  According to him, it was the same and there was no reason to remake it.

The plot is that a young couple loses their child in childbirth and of all people to recommend this, a priest pulls the father aside before the mother was told she lost the baby and says he has another baby where the mother died and why doesn't he take this child and pass it off as his own to the mother.
The guy does and the boy grows up as their own.
As he gets older, the family starts to be plagued with a lot of unusual problems of people close to them committing suicide and such.  Things just get worse from there and people come to the man trying to explain this child is the devil.  The father, of course, doesn't believe them, until things get really weird.

I thought the plot was ok, but I'm eager to see the original for differences and how it was originally intended to be seen.

2 out of 5 for Liev Schreiber.  Skip it.
