After the success of the directors other films, "Omen" comes as a big of a shock in just how poor it is. This film is hard to describe in that it is an unthrilling thriller and a tame spook-fest. Film centres round the happenings of 3 friends who chance upon an old lady whose prophecies come true with near fatal results, inter spliced by flashbacks of a set of boys playing with their dog from 50 years back! For a start this film lacks any bite at all. Direction is poor, acting is woeful and the scares are non-existent. In some ways its meant to ape the feel of "The Eye", but this simply does not have the storyline to match. When the mystery is all revealed at the end, you will burst out laughing and is simply the biggest nonsense I have seen in a while. Everyone in the cinema was laughing at what was meant to be a sentimental revelation and retelling.
Avoid this, and hope the directors disown this movie.
