The bizarre incidents on the making of "The Omen"
This bonus material for "The Omen" covers the series of bizarre and tragic events that surrounded the film during its making, all of them present on the trivia section of the film page.
Director Richard Donner and the producers talk about accident, injuries and even some deaths that happened nearby filming locations, which came to a questioning: are those events a series of coincidences or the film is cursed, like happens with many horror classic films.
I'll have to borrow a thought from another movie: it's not a matter of chance, those things happen. But I also believe in supernatural forces that prevented the film of being made. It's like something's telling that one could not present evil on the screen, a "sacrilege" to the real villain shown in the movie. It's just the timing of everything bad happening at the same time makes it all more frightening and obscure.
The more Donner and company tell the spookier it gets. Pity that most of those claims don't have much of a backup to it, like some archive footage or newspaper articles on the plane crash where the crew was planning to film a sequence (unless one make some great research). Others are more easy to verify.
For curious minds who enjoy the making of a film, this one is good and only covers the creepiness of the filming; there's another one about the good side of it all. 7/10.
