StoneKeeper's Fun Guessing Game: I Recommend THIS Movie #1839 [Omen (2003) Winner: FredBurroughs]


I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guess, I will give a hint that connects your guess with the movie I have in mind.

For each guess, a connection is posted. Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, actor, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve Cabbage Patch Kids. Also, you can use Metascore color or rating, Rotten Tomatoes score, any award wins or nominations in common, same number of words in the title, plot keywords. Note: "Plot" in the IMDB advanced search links to "Plot Summary" on the film's page. "Keyword" in the advanced search links to "Plot Keyword" on the film's page.

Helpful search engine: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/ Click on Feature Film and TV Movie. Then modify for the hints as they are posted.

- The winner can either start a new game or say "pass". In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another one.
- After 12 hints and 15 incorrect guesses the point goes to the OP and he/she gets to start another one.
- Movie must have at least 3500 IMDB votes. Otherwise, add a bonus hint. No documentaries.

FredBurroughs snatches victory from the jaws of defeat yet again, this time with Omen (2003), a Thai movie about a group of young people who experience seemingly mundane and unrelated events but then have increasingly strange things start happening, ultimately leading to a series of tragedies. This movie has universally negative reviews and a very low rating, but I honestly liked it and I think a lot of the criticism it gets is unfair and stems from people expecting the movie to be something different than what it was.

Wow, surprise to see a Pang Bros. project rated so low.

I really think it's a better movie than it gets credit for. I think a lot of the hate it gets comes from the fact that people expected it to be a standard long-haired Asian ghost story of the sort that came to be expected by Western audiences in the 2000s. It was probably marketed that way too. It's a different kind of movie, a kind of uniquely Buddhist sort of story. I'm not even sure it fully qualifies as a horror movie, though it has horror elements to it.

Another criticism it seems to get is that the main characters were apparently played by members of a pop band. Which is like... ok. I thought they played their roles fine and were perfectly believable as characters. But apparently pop band members aren't allowed to be actors or something, even if they do the job just fine lol.

Anyway I definitely recommend the movie, I quite liked it.
