The Omen 2006---A Disturbing Review
November 5th 2006 11:15
The son of Satan is back and up to his old tricks. This time with added special-effects and a clever melding of Biblical verse and world events. There's a graphic depiction of Damien's nurse diving off the roof of their home rope attached to neck, cracking to an abrupt halt in full-view. Damien pushes his mother off the second-floor balcony, then as she lay in hospital, the new nurse, a stellar role played by Mia Farrow, finishes her off by injecting air into the drip-line. A priest has a church spire-rod driven through his heart from on-high. And a reporter is relieved of his head in the most graphic and imaginative way. I'll leave out the ending of course---wouldn't want to spoil the fun.
What intrigued me was where world events are linked (rather loosely) to the Book of Revelation verse at the start, and the director's/biblical scholars' comments post-script. As I have stated in the 'End Times', Bible prophecy is highly symbolic, scholars' spending endless hours in the pursuit of correct interpretation. So rather than contribute to the confusion, if interested, I suggest you take a look for yourself. Read the Book of Revelation, Ch: 8-10.
Most would be aware of the number combination 666, the 'number of the beast', or Satan's number. It can be found in computer code, linguistic calculation, symbols, almost anywhere if one looks hard enough. The interview with a gent who was born in June 1966---6/66 was interesting---the calamity that had befallen this guy! Bad luck, serendipity? You be the judge.
Out of five: 3 1/2---Not for the squeamish.
