The Omen Ratings & Reviews
ChrisStuckmann.com
Chris Stuckmann
Gregory Peck takes everything pitch-perfect seriously. This is one of his best performances.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
One of the finest horror films of the 1970s.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
Much of the film is terrific, unnerving stuff; but much of it is kind of loopy and much too silly to take even a little seriously.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Stands alone as a wonderful horror thriller.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Richard Donner directs more for speed than mood, but there are a few good shocks.
PopMatters
Bill Gibron
All references to prophecy and the Antichrist aside, The Omen achieves its horrors the old fashioned way.
TV Guide
Silly and bloody, but at times very effective.
Common Sense Media
Charles Cassady
Gory original Satanism saga; popular but plodding.
Variety
Variety Staff
Richard Donner's direction is taut. Players all are strong.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...fares a whole lot better than its 2006 remake...

Steve Biodrowski
... a slick, polished, and professional thriller that combines an intriguing mystery with periodic eruptions of bloody violence ...

Goldsmith's score took the film to a level horror films generally never attained in the 1970s.

Michael Dequina
The fairly sedate pace and tone may be a bit dry for today's viewer, but by the film's disturbing climax and simple, superbly creepy final image, one appreciates how well it helped build the suspense.
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.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Influenced by the success of The Exorcist, this film takes the horror genre one step further and instead of a girl being possessed by the Devil, we have a boy who's the Antichrist.
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.
