Summary: I love these movies
Review: I am a huge fan of The Omen series and I love everyone of them, I have a review of each below-

The Omen- A truely great movie. In this movie Mrs. Kathy Thorn gives birth to a stillborn child, to sheild her from the truth her Husband Ambassador Robert Thorn adopts a orphan boy, knowing nothing of the boys hellish origins. This legacy of terror begins at little Damien Thorn's 5th birthday, when his nanny hangs her self from the top of the Thorn Mansion. Pretty soon many horrible 'accidents' start to happen and little by little Robert realises his son is the Anti-Christ and must try to stop him...I would give this movie six out of five stars if possible but Ill settle and give it 5 out of 5.

Damien: The Omen II- Damien is now a young man of 13, and has gone to live with his aunt and uncle, he now realizes the great power he has and that he is the Anti-Christ himself. Several gruesome deaths occur to any who oppose him and Uncle Thorn must try to end what his brother started. 5 out of 5 stars

The Final Conflict- In this movie Damien is now a very rich and powerful man of 23. He becomes ambassador following in his adopted fathers footsteps all while continuing to follow in his true fathers footsteps. This movie lacks a factor of the previous two, the fact that it is a child causing all the deaths and chaos, though it is still a great movie. 4 out of 5 stars

The Omen IV: The Awakening- This movie is EXTREAMLY under-rated, it brings the series back to its origins. Little Delia is an adopted child who has trouble making friends in school, but after a few 'accidents' eeriely similar to those in the case of one Damien Thorn, Delia and her adopted mother realize what she really is, the heir of the Anti-Christ. I think this movie is great dispite what anyone else thinks about it I give it a 5 out of 5.

I HIGHLY recomend you buy this set, you won't regret it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: lover of great horror movies
Review: I own all 4 movies and have watched them many times getting more out of them ever time. Most movies,example "Jaws",with sequels are ruined with the whole intensity of the movie gone. The Omen series on the other hand, to me anyway, gets better every time with each one having there own intense plot. The Omen 4, being well made mind you, I feel should have had more reference to Damion which would have made me and other Omen fans like the movie more.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Pretty Creepy
Review: I saw these all Seperate interesting Concept at the time.the first one is far&away the best.the 2nd one has moments.the cool thing about films like these is the creepy element.the early ones aren't for the faint of Heart.very Interesting stuff.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This would receive 5 stars; if it wasn't for "Omen 4".
Review: I'm writing this review only to confirm what the other reviewers rightly said before me. The first 3 Omen movies in the collection make up a great horror trilogy. "Omen 3: The Final Conflict" is slightly disappointing compared to the previous two, but still manages to entertain.

Then comes "Omen 4:The Awakening". This made-for-tv horror movie should have never been made; it completely destroyed the whole series. Apart from the movie itself having many limitations, the plot does not even make sense. I mean, wasn't it supposed to be Judgement day at the end of "Omen 3"? The second coming of Christ meant that Satan would be defintely destroyed; bringing a definite end to darkness and evil and a new beginning for humanity. This was completely ignored in "Omen 4"; as was duly expected. Having the fourth installment in mind, obvious questions spring up; like "Where did Christ go after ascending on Earth?" "Did he come for a vacation"? "What actually happened on Judgement day?" "Was there even a judgement day"? Questions which certainly remain unanswered even by the creators of "Omen 4".

So if you are going to get this box set, don't expect much from no.4. As a matter of fact, expect nothing from 4. I only bought this box set because of the nice packaging; otherwise I would have purchased Omen 1,2 and 3 seperately. The choice is yours; at least you were warned!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A true thinking mans horror movie
Review: I've always loved the Omen since it first appeared on screen. Now I have it on DVD in the entire 4 part series. I feel that although part one is the pace setter and is a great movie, part 2 is the best written story of the 3 originals. Damian's inability to escape who he is and go his own path is excellent.
Part 4 is a branch off the first 3 and has a few good moments but just doesn't quite have the edge that parts 1-3 have. It appeared that the writer was trying too hard to tie in the story with the new age crowd. In all, this series is a must have for the horror, psychological thriller fan in everyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A frightfully good collection
Review: I've been a fan on the Omen trilogy since the movies came out, and have been waiting for them to see the light of day on DVD. Now, in this very well done boxed set the movies are being shown in anamorphic transfers! Also, this set included Omen 4 (shown only on TV) which is not great, but hey, it completes the collection. ;) Two thumbs up!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Omen
Review: Last spring i saw the whole trilogy of The Omen on cable and i got the chills of seeing this movie with my sister. then later i found out and i bought the whole series! i like the small box with it's art. the whole series is really good i would gaven it a five but you know...Omen IV! i think for Final Conflict they should of done two or three movies more exteding to see how Damien got more eviler and making him like Hitler and destroy the whole world...

they should of done Omen III The Rise to Power, it would of been he of taken control of United Nations and European Union, Omen IV Abomination when he desecrates the church and says he's god and hell breakes loose and then Omen V the Final Conflict when they go and fight on Armageddon and Christ comes and destroys him. that i think they should done that but still is a good trilogy specially i liked the first one and Thrid one with it's haunting soundtrack spooked me out.

in all i liked the whole series but Omen IV.

buy it for the first three but for Omen IV keep it inside the box or your curious see it and then hide it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An entertaining box set....
Review: Okay, so the Omen IV takes liberties with a stretch from the original plot line. So what? I think it was made with attention to detail such as, the way the picture is colorized like the originals, the music score, and the direction of the movie. I think for a made for tv movie, it's pretty good. I won't comment on the first three because they've been well covered. My last comment is: This play acting and these aren't real stories. Have a sense of humor people, and enjoy the bonus dvd. I did.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: good for it's time but that isn't saying much
Review: OMEN - I'm sure when this movie came out it scared the socks off
people. There were definately some eerie moments within
the film. The book of Revelation has always fascinated me
along with the scriptures that tell about the rise of
the Antichrist. As for the Omen, it held my interest but
seemed to drag at times. Despite the slow pace of the
movie, it was in no way boring. Though you don't get to
see much of the 5 year old Damien (the Antichrist),
his character development is still portrayed during the
film. I give OMEN *** stars.

DAMIEN - Known as OMEN II, this movie is probably the best in
the series. Here we see 13 year old Damien brilliantly
portrayed along with his roots of power. Damien is
smart and cunning. When he learns who he is, Damien
takes desperate measures to ensure that no one close to
him betrays his trust. For the most part, there are no
slow spots within the movie and whether you like the
first Omen or not I'm sure this sequel is sure to
please. I give DAMIEN **** stars.

FINAL CONFLICT - The third Omen in the series takes a bit of a
nose dive from the previous film. Damien is 32
years old and is now in control of the world
powers. If you expect this movie to show the
ruthless reign of the Antichrist, you will be
sorely disappointed. I won't spoil the movie
for anyone who hasn't seen it but I do have a
particular complaint; though this movie gives
accurate scripture references it does not
present the audience with accurate events of
the Antichrist during his reign of power. For
example, Jesus in not going to be born a second
time here on earth. Also, the Antichrist is not
defeated until 3-4 years after he wages a war
on the nations. (Yes, I am a Christian and if
someone is going to make a movie that tells
about the rise and fall of the Antichrist then
the movie needs to stay in accordance with the
scriptures of the Bible). Another complaint I
have is that this movie drags out even more so
than the first one. Unless you want to see the
conclusion of what happens to Damien (as I'm
sure that most people will), this is not a
movie that I would recommend.
I give FINAL CONFLICT ** stars.

AWAKENING - As far as I am concerned, this is the last Omen in
the series that should have never existed. Do I say
that because this Omen is not related to the
previous three? To a certain degree, yes. As for the
movie itself, the fourth Omen was a "made for TV"
movie and it shows. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm
not saying that all TV made movies are bad but this
one definately had a mediocre script. The girl in
this movie is the daughter of Damien (the previous
Antichrist). To sum up the plot, the girl shows her
evil power in various yet ridiculous ways. The fouth
Omen is the Halloween III of the series if you will.
For the most part, it is irrelevent to the preivous
films that somehow spawned it.
I give AWAKENING * star due to the last third of the
movie being interesting.
