Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

ElWormo How on earth does anyone make a sequel bearing the 'Omen' name and come up with something as chronically unscary as this? I've seen creepier and more suspenseful episodes of TJ Hooker than this cardboard cut-out wet weekend of a kids' TV movie. The incidental music is comical, sounding like it was lifted from a particularly jaunty episode of Harry Potter:The Cartoon (if that even exists). But how and why? This is supposed to be The Omen...At least try and make it vaguely chilling. Did anyone even know what they were making? Ho hum, too many pointless questions...The original remains an utterly badass slice of full-on 70s horror, and the first 2 sequels (although flawed) at least took it somewhere still worth watching, but Omen IV is right up there with Jaws 3 and Jason Goes To Hell on the bad sequel naughty step.

WakenPayne ...But seriously, THIS IS A HORROR FILM! if it was meant to be scary it should have kept me on edge, you know like good horror films do (either that or make me feel for the characters - but that's not important when talking about this movie).The concept of this movie, when written on paper might actually be an interesting idea. Hell, there were parts of this movie which introduced subplots but (like the movie The Room) NEVER moves anywhere after it first being mentioned. The best example of this is Deliah menstruating, which could have introduced a lot of other interesting things in this movie, but instead it just sticks to this one little plot.About my summary "at least I can laugh at it". This movie really did have me in fits of laughter, I was MST3King the movie, but when I got to the ridiculous scenes, like the psychic fair, When all the psychics start having "looks of horror" (I put that in speech commas for a reason... BE WARNED) on their faces after looking at Deliah... I'm sorry just HOW can people take that seriously? let alone find it scary? it's scenes like that and some really badly written lines that make this movie funny.Oh and one thing also, Deliah does NOTHING to really say "she is the daughter of Satan" throughout this movie. Most of the time she just acts like a brat, either that or draw upside-down-crosses on things (which only happens twice). I don't think a brat is in any way intimidating. However people look intimidated at her throughout the movie, it seems like most of the characters in this movie are afraid of little girls.One other complaint about this movie. One of the basic things about movies is that the people working on the movie need to SHOW us what happened instead of TELLING us. This happens quite frequently in the movie, one of them being when Deliah's mother discovers Damien's her father, others like the Christians telling Deliah's mother that she used bad language when really she never said anything before they ran away. Just thought I'd point that out.So really, if you are looking for a movie to watch then please don't watch this. It is never scary, but unintentionally funny (which if that happens in a horror film - it's a failure) and if you're looking for either horror or comedy then please watch something else. This is a waste of time and money.

Nitzan Havoc After watching The Omen III, I really thought things could only get better from there on. I was also very happy that there even was an Omen IV, for I didn't want to end the series with number 3 (a movie that will forever be remembered as "Religious Masturbation").Well congratulation, directors and screenwriters who have done too lousy a job for me to even bother checking their names. You have truly managed to outdo yourselves, The Omen IV is by far worse than III, which makes it the worst part of the worst Horror film series I've ever had the dis- pleasure of watching. Nothing original, almost an exact remake of the first film, only this time Antichrist is a girl, how very feminist and modern! Instead of a priest trying to warn the family, there's a new-age healer! How very pluralistic and religiously-tolerant! The politician father is this time a senator, not an ambassador, how clever! And to top it all - instead of a nanny who's devoted to protect the Antichrist, we've got a nanny who's devoted to protect the Antichrist! I'm blown away!!! As usual, the child is not the least scary. Seriously, Children of the Corn is from a near time, so is Village of the Damned! How come the children there are so much creepier? If at the first film the child was actually cute, in the 2nd - a tragic hero almost likable, and in the third simply a child - in the fourth we get a brat. Nothing more than an annoying, spiteful princess-brat. The only value this film had was that it followed the "rules" set by the first one, therefore giving the audience a sense of familiarity with the events (a cheap consolation reward if you ask me). I apologize for not being able to be more impartial, but I'm frustrated and disappointed. I've heard so much about "The Omen", so many recommendations and complements for it being groundbreaking when it comes to the Occult-Horror sub-genre. Well great! So it was groundbreaking back at 1976, bravo! Watching it today was still a very unrewarding experience. Sorry for not being born 30 years earlier!However, as one of the classics, we who value ourselves as Horror fans should give it a try. I did, and it was an unrewarding experience for me personally. For you - it may be different, so don't judge according to this review. My recommendation? When it comes to classics - listen to no one and try them, you owe it to yourselves.

BA_Harrison I was fully expecting this made for TV sequel to suck, and in that respect, I was not disappointed: this cheaply made, badly written, poorly acted piece of excrement is tantamount to blasphemy for fans of the Omen series, being devoid of the foreboding atmosphere of the other films, totally bereft of creative kills, and completely lacking in scares. Instead, we get silly shenanigans with new age mystics, an ugly kid sorely in need of a good orthodontist, a score that sounds like it should be accompanying a troupe of circus clowns, as-subtle-as-a-brick images of inverted crosses ad nauseum, and, worst of all, Satanic carol singers.I have seen it suggested that The Awakening might be an intentionally awful film in an attempt to parody the solemnity of the original trilogy; I highly doubt this, but if this should somehow prove to be be true, then shame on everyone involved for treating the franchise and its fans with such disrespect.If there is a Hell, then the makers of this rot will certainly have a special place reserved for them somewhere between the eighth and ninth circles (where the fraudulent and treacherous are punished): a sulphuric screening room in which they will be forced to watch their own abomination for all eternity (whilst having broken copies of the DVD roughly inserted up their rectum). Yes.... Omen IV: The Awakening really is that bad.
