"She's smiling when she's doing it, and that's what makes it scarier."
Summary
In this episode of Trimming the Movie Fat, Stephen and Paul discuss the Omen franchise. They rank and review each film, starting with the original 1976 classic. They praise the film's brilliant cast, memorable scenes, and impactful kills. They also discuss the iconic ending and the contribution of Jerry Goldsmith's outstanding music. They both agree that the original Omen is a top-tier film. They then move on to discuss Omen 2 (1978), noting that while it's good, it doesn't quite reach the same level as the first film. The hosts then share their thoughts on the remaining three films, including the recently released The First Omen (2024) and awful made-for-TV sequel Omen 4: The Awakening (1991).
"It's definitely a movie that sets out to make you afraid of crows."
