There was plenty of suspense and intrigue in the remake. If you haven't seen the original and simply have a basic understanding of the story, you stand to jump out of your skin in a few scenes. One of the scariest scenes for me is the trip to the zoo, when the monkeys shy away from Damien while a massive ape reacts quite a bit differently. I wonder if they will remake the two sequels. For now, fans of the series will simply see this film as a squandered chance to inject life into a true horror classic story.
My rating for The Omen (2006) is 3.5/5 and it rates this well more for the classic story than for the new interpretation.
