Has any one seen the original version of "The Omen"?

My mom said she saw it when she was young and she couldn't sleep for a week. She never watched it again. Now I'm interested. Is it really any good? I think I might rent it.

    Yep, I saw it. Scared the hell out of me. Best horror out there besides The Exorcist. They both give me nightmares to this day, and I watched them 3 years ago! But, "The Omen" is one of the best horror films ever made. I really hate horror movies, but this one like sucks you in. I have only watched it twice, and the second time I didn't want to. Rent it, if you want to be scared. Oh, and if you do, be sure that you don't get afraid of the #6.6.6 an a little kid named Damien!

    Yep. I have an original copy of it. I saw it years ago when I was little. It depends how easy scared you are. The thing that gets me now though is all the weird stuff that happenend to the people involved in the making of it. My friends Rottie is (allegedly) related to the one in the film!

    I saw it when I was a little girl too and your mom was right. It was very chilling. I could not watch it again, until I was an adult. I still found it disturbing. Many movies after that tried to copy it's sinister plot.

    It's my very favorite horror film. It scares me every time I watch it. Really well done with an excellent cast. I'm not going to see the new one; don't see how they could improve on it.
