The Omen

HorrorMysteryThriller111 min

After his infant son dies in Rome, American diplomat Robert Thorn secretly adopts another baby and never tells his wife the truth. Gregory Peck is Robert, whose new life as a U.S. ambassador in England starts to unravel as violent, inexplicable events gather around young Damien. Lee Remick’s Katherine sees the family’s polished world turn unstable, while priests and other strangers begin warning Robert that the child at the center of it may be tied to an ancient prophecy. The Omen builds its horror out of family secrecy, religious fear, and the growing sense that something terrible has entered the Thorn household.
