The Omen
Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Billie Whitelaw and Harvey Stephens (Damien) star in this classic 70's horror movie based on the antichrist.
Robert and Katherine Thorn seem to have just about everything they could ask for. He is the US Ambassador to Italy and they want for nothing in their lives, except one thing: children.
When Katharine has a stillborn child, Robert is approached by a priest at the hospital who suggest that he take a healthy newborn whose mother has just died in childbirth and to say nothing to anyone as it is a gift from God.
After getting the job as Ambassador to England they are relocated to London, the child's nanny hangs herself. Robert is visited by a priest who warns him of his son. Later the priest dies in a bizzare accident.
A photographer contacts Robert and shows him something that starts to make him think that his son is of demonic origin. Together they set off to find the truth only to discover that the child he took in is indeed the offspring of a jackel.
Robert continues his journey and eventually realises that he has to kill his son for the good of the world.
Does he manage it? Well, watch it and find out for yourselves.
