wiredbison82 said:Donner's original version of The Omen serves as a perfectly competent studio horror, much like the abundance of such films produced during the 1970s—at one point, they were almost ubiquitous. While certain elements feel somewhat safe or even naive, the film remains an exemplary specimen of its genre. That said, it still sits a tier below heavyweights like Friedkin's The Exorcist, De Palma's Carrie, or Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, which is how it's frequently categorized in these discussions.
I couldn't agree more. It definitely isn't in that same league.
