The Omen

If your child causes baboons to attack your car... he might be the spawn of Satan.

If your child tries to kill you and your unborn child by ramming you over the stairwell... he might be the spawn of Satan.

If your nanny hangs herself in your son's honor... he might be the spawn of Satan.

If your child has a 666 birthmark on the back of his head... he might, just might, be the spawn of Satan.

Thank you Satanic Jeff Foxworthy! In case it's not clear by that, tonight's film was Richard Donner's "The Omen." Now this is the original "The Omen," not that steaming hunk of crap new one. But I digress... This is a classic horror flick along the lines of "The Exorcist" and in fact, at least in my opinion, takes a lot of it's cues from the type of horror "The Exorcist" puts forth (especially in the use of the Christian lore). The idea of an evil child who is the spawn of Satan is damn creepy, especially from the viewpoint of the parents who suddenly realize such a thing about their child. Donner captures this creepiness perfectly, most notably in the the pretty amazing cinematography and chanting music that rises in the most horrific scenes. Also, creepiest nanny ever award goes to Billie Whitelaw. Just her eyes--thinking about it gives me goosebumps. A great, classic horror film worthy of it's spot in the horror annals. 

And if your son is the spawn of Satan... he might be the spawn of Satan.
