The Omen Ratings & Reviews
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Farfetched in subject matter, but not far out in its handling of it, The Omen speaks well of the Devil -and of the virtues of solid commercial craftsmanship
CBR
Hannah Rose
Perhaps the idea of the Anti-Christ or the Biblical apocalypse won't frighten everyone, but if nothing else, footage of a little demonic boy smiling just might. That, and the fabulous music, should be enough for anyone to watch this seminal horror film.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Often described as one of the world's scariest films, The Omen delivers a few sudden shocks but is most effective when it comes to creating a sense of foreboding.
Horror Movie Talk
Bryce Hanson
While there aren't a lot of "scares", this is a taut and well paced thriller with plenty of dread and Ominousness. It's a well constructed and acted movie, with a couple set pieces that really stick in your mind.
The Wolfman Cometh
Patrick Cavanaugh
The dramatic tone and committed performances are compelling in their own right, with the supernatural components only elevating this to an all-new level.
Film Inquiry
Stephanie Archer
There is a sense of dominance, the silhouetted child remaining above the cross, the film's refusal to move from this image delivering a devastating sense of foreshadowing - evil always wins.
Horror Queers Podcast
Joe Lipsett
Richard Donner's feature directorial debut goes hard (so does Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar winning score), with a number of truly amazing set pieces. This holds up better than you may remember!
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
Director Richard Donner hasn't the subtlety of a Hitchcock or even a Friedkin, but if you believe that the ends justify the means, you have to give him credit.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
The gory bits are like jalapeno peppers sprinkled over oatmeal; even the most nostalgically devoted fans need to ask themselves if it would be so dear to their hearts were it not for the ornate atrocities set to Jerry Goldsmith's shrieking choir.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
Rich with forbidding details and impressive scare tactics.
Philadelphia Gay News
Ed Barnard
[It's] directed by Richard Donner at a pace that creates moods of fear punctuated by sly and devilish humor. The climactic scene alone should win him any award for which he is nominated; it is, perhaps, the most chilling final 20 minutes ever put on film.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
The Omen delivers splendidly.

Gregory Peck takes everything pitch-perfect seriously. This is one of his best performances.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Richard Donner directs more for speed than mood, but there are a few good shocks.
Variety
Variety Staff
Richard Donner's direction is taut. Players all are strong.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
A bald-faced lamprey hitching its razor-tipped maw on the chassis of The Exorcist, The Omen's Sunday school parable of gothic Cathsploitation comes twice as thick and thrice as pious.
New York Times
Richard Eder
A member of the Exorcist family, it is a dreadfully silly film, which is not to say that it is totally bad.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
As long as movies like The Omen are merely scaring us, they're fun in a portentous sort of way.
