Nigel Floyd
A disastrously miscast remake of the 1976 horror classic, which retains the apocalyptic themes of David Seltzer's original script but renders them dull and fright-free.
J. R. Jones
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.
Peter Travers
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.
Peter Rainer
This is one of those movies that profits from very low expectations. If you go in expecting something dreadful, be assured: It's only near dreadful.
Owen Gleiberman
I felt like I was seeing The Da Vinci Code with slightly shadier priests.
Nathan Rabin
John Moore's remake of The Omen rivals Gus Van Sant's Psycho both for its fidelity to the source material and for its utter pointlessness.

Rex Reed
I don't approve of remakes, but The Omen redux is riveting, imaginative and ultimately bone-chillingly satisfying.
