Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Omen franchise is one of horror's most iconic, and is still running decades on from its 1976 debut. Before the likes of Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger stole his limelight, The Omen's Antichrist villain Damien Thorn was one of the genre's first icons. The original film's emphasis on gory deaths was also a precursor to the slasher craze of the 1980s, even if The Omen saga is a classier affair.

Sam Neill and his Omen 3 co-star Lisa Harrow entered into a romantic relationship during the movie's production and have one son together. In fact, Omen 2 is really the Final Destination of its day, with the title character's enemies being dispatched in a series of bizarre, gory accidents. These involve elevator cables, an eye-pecking crow and so forth.

The sequel gives the teenage Damien a soul, and draws on the obvious Jesus Christ parallels.
