This is a remake of the 1976 film of the same name...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466909/
I've seen all of the Omen movies, and will have to rent the original again to compare it...I remember the original being much more spooky than this one, but in a decade where I saw The Exorcist as well, it may have played into that...And in a nice touch, the remake was released on 6/6/06...
Basically, Damien is the Anti Christ here on earth...He is supposed to rise to power (I don't recall the anti christ MO entirely) through politics, and start lots of shit...This remake is a bit of The Ring mixed with a bit of Final Destination, wrapped in a bit of dogma...It's a pretty good rent...
