Critics' reviews
- "I don't approve of remakes, but The Omen redux is riveting, imaginative and ultimately bone-chillingly satisfying."
- "Not since Gus Van Sant inexplicably directed a shot-by-shot remake of Hitchcock's Psycho has a thriller been copied with so little point or impact."
- "This new version is an almost scene-for-scene remake, which is good news in the first half and bad news in the torpid second."
- "When all else fails, pump up the thunder and lightning. That seems to be an operating principle behind the supremely unnecessary remake of the 1976 horror fest."
- "It's like hearing a great cover version of a classic rock song."
- "I say rent the original. It tells exactly the same story, with a better cast and with special effects that are as good or better."
