He’s A Perfectly Normal Boy! Hooptober XI
6/32 - Franchise/90s

This movie makes Omen II & III look like masterpieces. Really, it seems to exist to highlight how all of the elements of the franchise could be done so poorly as to change the entire feel and success of the film.

Before requels and streamers were a thing, the producers of The Omen were innovating by retelling the same story, gender-swapping, and then revealing how the films are connected at the end ... on TELEVISION.

This should have been a warning.

We didn't listen.

Now look where we are, poorly made retreads by the thousands with worse music, lame stunts, bad camera work, and actors phoning it in.

One thing they got right in this movie is perfectly capturing my little sister who would have been about 11 when this came out. The biting the head off thing? She did that.
