The Omen review

There are a couple of questions to which the answer cannot be found in this movie. First of all, why did the Jackal give birth to a human baby?

Secondly, the priest that gave the damned baby to the normal parents, who is he? Is there an anti-Christ cult? Disguised as normal preachers? If so, they knew that they were bringing the anti-Christ into the world? And how did they hope to benefit from it?

And then there’s Father Brennan who has the 666 mark on his thigh. Does this mean that he’s also the Son of Satan? Since he shares the same kind of birthmark with the damned one? If so, why does he want to kill the anti-Christ instead, if he belongs to the same cult, or if he was the previous, Damned One?

And what’s the significance of the 7 Mediggo Daggers? Why can the child only be killed with these weapons?

And how did Mrs. Baylock know where to find the child?

Either the movie was badly chopped up by our censorship board, or the original storyline wasn't that strong. Eitherway, watch only if you have nothing else to do.

Now...if I can just get my hands on X-Men 3 tickets...

The original Omen was pretty freaky... Dunno if they answered the same questions either. X-Men 3 is awesome!!

I've gotta say I'm dumb about theological stuff, but from what I read, the priest was destined to be the original evil man, but he was overwhelmed by guilt.

The baby has to be human because nobody would follow a nasty gorilla ... I think?

We're due for coffee dear :-x
