The Omen

A new baby is born to diplomat Robert Thorn (Liev Schrieber) and his wife Kathy (Julia Stiles) but he is stillborn and a doctor offers to give Robert a newborn whose mom has just died. Knowing how much Kathy wanted a child, Robert agrees and keeps the secret from his wife and everyone. There's something a little strange about young Damian (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick). When he is six, people around him start turning up dead. A new nanny Mrs. Blaylock (Mia Farrow) steps into the Thorne home and starts taking over.

Meanwhile, Father Brennen (Pete Postlethwaite) tells Robert that his son is the anti-christ! Gradually, the Thorns' life is wrecked and Robert begins to believe that Brennen is right. Drastic steps must be taken.

Video: The 1.85.1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is okay but some of the background detail seems a bit mushy and there is a little pixelization in some scenes. Color is good with several scenes shot intentionally flat and dark for effect. Skin tones are fine and normal. Decent but not excellent transfer.
