How low can you go?

Lower beyond most of the movies I´ve ever seen, that´s for sure.
How pathetic to steal a good movie idea and turn it into a bad, really bad, movie, just to make a few bucks from horror fans by cheating on them.
I´m very tolerant when it comes to horror b-movies, but this time, it was too much.

*SPOILERS*

Everything(!) stolen from the masterpiece "The Omen", besides from the most important plot. This time, Damian, oh, sorry ... Donald doesn´t go into politics, he chooses parents who work for telly. Good choice, stupid satan kid. Working for a lame afternoon cooking show host will surely give you the chance to rule the world one day, with bad tasting sulfur cookies.

Don´t forget about the horrible make up of the burned father. Yes, it was horrible, cause it was so cheap. I´ve seen better in Star Trek, the original series from over 40 (!) years ago.

The nanny was truely from hell, but not from any acting school. They skipped the dog, probably cause he´d be the best actor of all in this flick.

To fake the movie lenght, the had the longest slow motion credits I´ve ever seen in my life.

If there really is a satan and he´ll see this pice of crap, he´ll make sure that everybody working on this so called movie will burn for eternity.

I´m only sorry for B. B. Stewart, he deserves better than to ruin his career in a stupid thig like this.

I felt the same thing that you expressed.
This certainly was the WRONG thing for him to star in.
It seems clear to me that he probably has more acting ability in his big toe, than most of the adults that worked on this film. I would really like to see him do something that can reflect the talent he has, and not just pass him off as a pretty face who dosnt need anything else to make him likable.

I wasnt expecting something of the quality of The Omen or even the Omen remake, which I though was decent, but still unnecessary. Nevertheless, this film simply takes the idea of the Omen, and gives us a poorly acted, written, and directed, bit of film that is almost unwatchable. It looks cheezy, but not in a campy or enjoyable way that some old B movie horror flicks used to be.
None of the characters are especially likable. In my estimation, they would be the most unlikely candidates to adopt a child who had suffered what appeared to be the trauma of a plane crash.

Its idiotic how many dead bodies piled up with no real mention or questions about their unusual demise.
The dentist scene is one of the most stupid things I have ever seen in a movie.
Why would a dentist approach a kid with a drill in hand, when he hadn't even looked in the kids mouth yet. GEEEEZZZZ that scene was dumb.

You are right about the makeup, but the other effects were even worse. Even low budget films are better than this.

Was this movie actually released in theaters?

Hey, you forgot to mention how perfectly tattoed were the 666 on his tongue, I wonder who was the tattoo artist who did that, excellent job, lol.

This movie is actually an 80's horror classic wannabe, if you think about it, the similarity is that those movies back then were also B movies, the difference, the directors from those days managed to create an environment that gave the viewer the impression of being part of the film which at the end, did the scary job, this one, well, we got it free, it was a free rental and since there are no new releases when it comes to horror that I like, we (my husband and I) took this one, just to see how stupid it was gonna be, and we were right, lol, we laughed more than when we watched any American Pie movie, lol.

I have nothing good to say about this movie (other than the fact that the kid was adorable). In fact, I couldn't even watch the whole thing. The acting was less than satisfactory, the deaths were ridiculously stupid... and it's basically just a rip-off of "The Omen".

In conclusion, I hated it, and I'm kind of upset that I blew $5.00 renting it.
