Are you kidding me??
What is wrong with the people on this board? lol
The Omen IS a true classic! And I am not even a big fan of the film.
It is widely known that The Omen is a very popular, classic horror film.
So, yes their opinion is definitely valid.
And I am guessing you think "Pin" is a better film than The Omen? MENTAL!
Ironically, it is your opinion that is invalid. -

"i hated ALL of the characters, especially the son. nobody in the movie did anything realistic. in real life, the sister would NOT have tolerated all of her brother's crap."
Ursula doesn't exactly have the luxury of just putting him away. If you've ever had a mentally ill family member, you know it's incredibly hard to commit them against their wishes unless they're an obvious danger, which he isn't. That is very realistic. And just dropping him off an a street corner somewhere isn't an option either. It's a real problem for her and because she cares for him she does her best to help him. That's why it's not a simple movie. Even Pin is not meant to be the typical killer mannequin on the loose. In his own way, he's part of the family and not someone Ursula can just shut away in a closet. This movie calls for a touch of sensitivity, which you're completely lacking. -

hahaha. hahahahaha. haaaaaahahahahahaha. oh man. my side. no seriously, hold onhahahaha.
wow, first i'm told i need to read the book to understand the movie, and now i'm being told i'm not sensitive enough to get it.
this movie doesn't call for sensitivity, it calls for better acting and characters people can relate too. if a so-called horror movie (i found it in horror and imdb calls it horror) calls for sensitivity, it's no longer a horror movie. it's a low budget made-for-tv family drama. and btw, i have a disabled person in my family. i'm not being insensitive. i'm being realistic. this movie is rotten. -

I loved this movie, but ONLY because it made me laugh out loud the entire time.
Kind of the same way Lair of the White Worm made me happy.
A thriller that is so badly put together you sit with drunken friends and watch it in a comical sense.
I loved it. -

I was mainly on adge by how thouroughly creepy David Hewlett's character was. This for me was the best creepy film I've ever seen. Most of the "creepy" films I've seen are just sort of "Oh my god! there's something in the room! I must ran upstairs like a stupid person with no exit." but this one really played with my mind, and I like having complete control of my mind
McKay-there is brilliant and then there's me! -

The acting is not that bad, to label it third rate acting is clearly exaggerating, I thought Leon's sister Ursella acted very good , especially in the sequence where she is having an argument with her boyfriend over the poetry her brother has just read to them, And as she hears Leon run down the stairs she quickly changes the subject and try's to hide her emotions and says :'' Would you like another drink'' I dont know if you all remember the scene I'm talking about, but her acting was so perfect in that sequence. That being said, I did think the boyfriends acting was a little shabby but hell being a low budget flick that kinda thing can be tolerated. As for the dummy, no he was not intended to scare you, anyhow it didnt scare me, the only emotion it evoked for me was an eerie feeling in the sense that its very bizarre to have someone project his alter ego in a doll through ventriloquism. Like I said though it wasnt scary, just very eerie in its own way. And as for the sisters age, we all know she is actually older than what her character is, but didnt you know that in most movies people playing kids in their late teens generaly are over 25, so who gives a beep really.

that wasn't a nurse, that was their mother. You dont seem to understand this film at all. That's unfortunate, if you stopped looking for it's flaws you might catch it's subtleties.
