THE OMEN (2006)

So initially when I first saw this movie I absolutely hated it. But after revisiting it I just think its overly mediocre. Its pretty much a shot for remake it's just less all around. Usually a redo takes the original and goes overboard with it. But director John Moore (Max Payne) takes a muted approach making most things have less impact. Most of the performances are good sexy Liev Schreiber (Scream), and the always dependable Julia Stiles (Save the last dance) are solid and Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) is fun as the nanny. The only one whose lackluster is Damien himself, he's just pouty and annoying. Most of the death pieces are just okay except the awesome priest kill. The movie is completely unnecessary but its marginally entertaining, just forgettable.
