Bought the Original Omen...
Picked it up yesterday. Had to look around, though, as it was sold out in most places due to interest in the new remake. Found the 2001 special edition dvd at a Blockbuster for 8 bucks, which was a pretty good deal, as Amazon has it listed for $35! I guess it's because of the 2-disc version coming out. Didn't care about it enough to blow $18, as it apparently is the same transfer with extended special features (think Jaws 25th anniv. as compared to Jaws 30th). It really is still spooky! If you let yourself get sucked in, you can overlook some of the cheesy, over-dramatic close-ups and sound effects (like the synthesizer effects when the dogs appear). Terrific acting from Gregory Peck and David Warner. As I hadn't seen it in a while, I was surprised how well it holds up. Jerry Goldsmith's score is truly unsettling. Still wondering how the remake will hold up next to it.
