I think the Gregory Peck and Lee Remick do an excellent and convincing job (though I believe that Peck once said that he only did this movie for the paycheck). I agree that the children in both of these movies play the role of Damien in very different ways. I think I preferred Harvey Stephen's Damien because of the gradual loss of innocence that he conveyed, beginning with helplessness and ending with acceptance of such a heritage. Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick, though convincingly scary, just did not seem likable to me. I am amazed by Mia Farrow's performance and I think that casting her was the best decision that could have been made for that remake. She brings a certain respectability and history to the film with her previous work in Rosemary's Baby. But, again, I agree with your opinions about the films. To prove that I am a fan though, I do have all FOUR of the Omen movies in a boxed set. Even the 3rd sequel that begins with the seed (WTF!) of the already deceased Damien. And I still make all of my friends watch it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
