 EXCELLENT "OMEN' BOX SET December 27, 2009
Kirk W. Bulmer (MONTREAL, QUEBEC Canada)
i love these movies..1, 2 & 3 are the best..didn't much care for THE OMEN remake, but it was worth the watch..loved Mia Farrows part..got the box set here in Montreal for $16.99 (GREAT DEAL).
 The original and the first sequel are worth the purchase! December 5, 2009
Reginald D. Garrard (Camilla, GA USA)
Nothing new can be said that hasn't already been uttered about the classic '76 original with Peck and Remick. Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar-winning score, Richard Donner's deft direction, David Seltzer's taut screenplay, the European locations, and the performances from the stars, including a frightening turn from Billie Whitelaw as "Mrs. Baylock", resulted in making this one of the best films of the 70's.
Rating: 5 stars
The sequel, "Damien: The Omen II", upped the body count significantly but is still a worthy successor, with fine performances by Holden, Grant, and Jonathan Scott-Thomas as the teenaged Damien. Goldsmith delivers another great score and Don Taylor's direction, though not as polished as Donner's, is adequate.
Rating: 4 1/2 stars
Sadly, the third film, rather than being a thriller, tends to be comedic, especially with the slew of inept monks "hell-bent" on destroying the anti-Christ, portrayed in this film by a miscast Sam Neill. The film's only saving grace is Goldsmith's score, a bit more restrained this time.
Rating: 2 1/2 stars
However, it's not as bad as "Omen IV: The Awakening," a cheesy intent to "re-boot" the franchise with a satanic little girl in place of the previous male spawns of Satan. As far as the acting goes, character actor Michael Lerner delivers in the role of a private investigator, who like David Warner in the original, becomes embroiled in the evil goings-on of storyline.
Rating: 2 stars
The 2006 remake is included and is further indication that one shouldn't mess with a classic. Though Liev Schrieber and Julia Styles do their best in the roles, they pale in comparison to Peck and Remick in the original. Even young Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick comes nowhere close to being as menacing as Harvey Stephens in the first film.
Rating: 3 stars
All presentations are in widescreen format with the color and sound being very good.

"An A Plus Boxset" August 17, 2009

This boxset features every single "Omen" filmed ever produced. Rather than paying the price for each individual DVD the consumer would be wise to purchase this set for the amazingly low price that dealers are asking for. You get all five "Omen" films beautifully restored from the studio's master prints. The dics themselves come in their own individual cases that store the DVD's safely. These DVD's are in turned stored in a cardboard case with access to the DVD's on the side. The films are as follows: "The Omen", the 1976 film that started the franchise starring Lee Remick and Gregory Peck; "The Omen 2" from 1978 starring William Holden and the fabulous Lee Grant; "The Omen 3" from 1981 which stars Sam Neill in his first starring movie as the adult Damien; "The Omen IV" which was made for TV in 1991 that deals with a young girl who is the antichrist; the last film in the series is the well received and excellently produced remake of "The Omen-2006". The only film that contains a slew of bonuses is the original with neat info and annecdotes from the filmakers. No horror buff's library is complete without this wonderful boxset.
 Just buy the original; sequels & remake are awful. June 2, 2009

Except for the 1976 orignal version of the film, there is nothing worth watching in this 5 DVD collection. Looking at the price, one might think it is a bargain; it is not! No words come close to describing how bad the remake is; the acting (Except for Mia Farrow & Pete Postlethwaite) was nauseating. Damien 3 was a very cheaply done film, which has a Monty Python feel to it. The Omen IV was plain stupid and boring. The Omen II was somewhat watchable with decent acting, but it lacks horror, suspense or anything that makes it interesting . My advice, you will gain nothing from adding this collection to your video library, if you already have the original 1976 version of "The Omen".
