the omen is a well-made movie, but it is ultimately a love letter to the catholic idea that some kids are, BY BIRTH, super evil.

as in it is quite literally a movie about a father coming to terms with the fact that the right and good thing to do WOULD in fact be to listen to the Catholic church and murder his son. *WOMP WOMP*

#the omen #classic horror #damian the omen #original #but it did inspire a lot of cool stuff - probably good omens if i had to guess.#SUCH a shame that the movie Little Evil didn't quite have a script to carry its very good concept.#which was that even if a child WAS the son of Satan you should still be a good dad. the script was just subpar.#so ironically i think the omen is a better movie despite having comparatively dogshit theming #BUT LISTEN MOST HORROR MOVIES HAVE DOGSHIT THEMING #it's why Fear Street Trilogy (2021) is best horror films #because not only are they well made and well written BUT THE FUCKING THEMING IS SO FUCKING GOOD #campy sincere gut wrenching anti capitalist horror masterpiece #ALSO WENDALL AND WILD is so good. not horror but still the Opposite sentiments on the catholic church and inherent evil to The Omen
