NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
adonis98-743-186503 Damien Thorn is dead, but his prophecy is reborn in a mysterious girl named Delia, who is adopted by two attorneys, Gene & Karen York. When Karen realizes her baby was born under suspicious circumstances, she hires a private investigator to find Delia's real parents. The Omen Series hits pretty much rock bottom with 'Omen IV: The Awakening' a film neither scary or interesting but also a TV Movie that pretty much nobody asked to begin with. The acting wasn't anything better either and i would suggest you to avoid this as possible as you could. (0/10)
Tweekums After the events of 'The Final Conflict' one might have thought we'd seen the last of the Omem franchise but it appears that perhaps Armageddon was just delayed. Lawyers Eugene and Karen York have been unable to have a child of their own so adopt baby Delia from a Catholic orphanage. It is quickly implied that Delia isn't a normal child; Sister Yvonne is concerned about the child and Delia scratches her mother causing a mild infection. As Delia grows her mother becomes concerned that something is wrong; people who cross Delia's path have a habit of dying... especially after Karen starts to investigate Delia's origins.When I watched this I didn't realise this was made for TV but I certainly wasn't surprised when I later discovered that it was; it is certainly rather tame compared to the original trilogy. There is almost no gore and the scares aren't all that scary. That said I still enjoyed; the deaths might not be gory but they are entertaining enough and there is a twist near the end that I wasn't expecting. Young Asia Vieira impresses as eight year old Delia; she manages to be creepy when she needs to be but looks like a normal happy child in front of her father. Faye Grant does a good job as Karen and Michael Lerner is a highlight as private detective Earl Knight. Overall I'd say that this is worth watching for the story but if you want scares and gruesomeness at the same level of the original series you may be disappointed.
Nitzan Havoc After watching The Omen III, I really thought things could only get better from there on. I was also very happy that there even was an Omen IV, for I didn't want to end the series with number 3 (a movie that will forever be remembered as "Religious Masturbation").Well congratulation, directors and screenwriters who have done too lousy a job for me to even bother checking their names. You have truly managed to outdo yourselves, The Omen IV is by far worse than III, which makes it the worst part of the worst Horror film series I've ever had the dis- pleasure of watching. Nothing original, almost an exact remake of the first film, only this time Antichrist is a girl, how very feminist and modern! Instead of a priest trying to warn the family, there's a new-age healer! How very pluralistic and religiously-tolerant! The politician father is this time a senator, not an ambassador, how clever! And to top it all - instead of a nanny who's devoted to protect the Antichrist, we've got a nanny who's devoted to protect the Antichrist! I'm blown away!!! As usual, the child is not the least scary. Seriously, Children of the Corn is from a near time, so is Village of the Damned! How come the children there are so much creepier? If at the first film the child was actually cute, in the 2nd - a tragic hero almost likable, and in the third simply a child - in the fourth we get a brat. Nothing more than an annoying, spiteful princess-brat. The only value this film had was that it followed the "rules" set by the first one, therefore giving the audience a sense of familiarity with the events (a cheap consolation reward if you ask me). I apologize for not being able to be more impartial, but I'm frustrated and disappointed. I've heard so much about "The Omen", so many recommendations and complements for it being groundbreaking when it comes to the Occult-Horror sub-genre. Well great! So it was groundbreaking back at 1976, bravo! Watching it today was still a very unrewarding experience. Sorry for not being born 30 years earlier!However, as one of the classics, we who value ourselves as Horror fans should give it a try. I did, and it was an unrewarding experience for me personally. For you - it may be different, so don't judge according to this review. My recommendation? When it comes to classics - listen to no one and try them, you owe it to yourselves.
Charlie Toler I could go into various details as to why this film is absolutely terrible; I could talk about the acting (or lack thereof). The stupidity of the Anti-Christ being opposed to new-age mystics (Because as we all know Satan has a particular dislike for Mystic Meg and her vague portents). The sloppy and rushed pacing and editing which leads to about zero tension throughout the film and killing any hope of creating a creepy atmosphere because scenes come and go in an instant (this is especially egregious at the start of the film where the Antichrist's first kill feels especially feeble because there is virtually no build-up at all). The addition of various sub-plots and scenes which add nothing of significance to the story and serve only to provide chills (which due to the rushed editing are very weak). And the overall fact that there is very little in the way of a goal for our heroine, she suspects that her daughter is evil but rather investigate herself she gives the task to a P.I. making her character very insignificant (couldn't they have told the whole story from the P.I.'s point-of-view?), which in turn leads to a very rushed ending with a feeble twist and a very undramatic confrontation.All of these things condemn the film on it's own. However what really damns it is the fact that it is part of the Omen series, more to the point a sequel to Part 3, which besmirching aside, MAKES NO SENSE. The reason why it makes no sense is pretty simple; for at the ending of The Omen 3: The Final Conflict, Christ RISES AND RETURNS TO EARTH AS KING OF KINGS and Damien Thorn fails to stop him, it's not just implied, it bloody well written on the screen before the credits. Now I don't know about you but I think the literal Second Coming would be it, over, finito, THE END, the conclusion of not just the story of Damien Thorn but the end of this reality and the start of God's new reign Etc. Etc. (Pretty much as the title "The FINAL Conflict" suggests). However here apparently none of that happened, Damien just died or something and Christ had nothing to do with it. It's a complete retconing the end of the Trilogy and such leaves a sour taste in the mouth. I am aware that this is a odd nitpick but for me this film was simply a dross remake of the original until the doctor (who looks remarkably like Rob Brydon) blurted out Damien Thorn's name and cemented this films awfulness. I.e. bad as a standalone film and a HORRIBLE, nonsensical way to conclude the franchise.
