How'd you think she got to be Mrs. Sinatra otherwise? (A fact that still makes my mind wobble when I think of it, for some reason...)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, love this movie. I love the nice, kindly old people turning out to be the Satanic cult. Much more effective than the bombastic tone of the the original <I>The Omen</I>, imo. The scene near the end when Ruth Gordon shouts "Hail Satan!" still gives me chills, for some reason.<BR/><BR/>As I'm sure you know, Polanski has said this forms the third of a loose trilogy of films about the horrors and alienation of modern city life, along with <I>Repulsion</I> and <I>The Tenant</I>--both excellent and well worth your viewing if you haven't seen them.The Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-24458711872892028132007-12-19T02:27:00.000-08:002007-12-19T02:27:00.000-08:00In my humble opinion, this movie is kinda overrate...In my humble opinion, this movie is kinda overrated (I think the same of the Exorcist, by the way), but still a decent film, we may need a REMAKE to start saying that the original version IS REALLY FREAKING GOOD, just kidding, anyway, there was a sequel to the book and it was really fast paced,a real pager turner. <BR/><BR/>SPOiLER ALERT:<BR/>Until the end, where Ira Levin DROPS the ball in one of the worst Hollywood Finales, that even screws the first book up. It would be a good movie if they edit the end, though....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110147752122772426.post-43910353953639090852007-12-18T21:09:00.000-08:002007-12-18T21:09:00.000-08:00I was wondering what this movie was going to be wa...I was wondering what this movie was going to be way more than I should have.<BR/><BR/>I love the movie. It does feel a bit long. What I find weird is that the Ira Levin novel is nearly identical, but I always thought that felt like a quick read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
