"The Omen" is a remake of the film of the same name in 1976. After the transformation of the new film technology, the shock on the screen is naturally greater than that, like the iron cone on the roof of the church when Thorne’s wife fell from the patio. Falling to pin the priest to the ground, the evil spirit incarnate into the image of the evil dog, and the reporter being beheaded by the broken billboard are all thanks to contemporary stunts. The two actors who play Thorne and Damian do have an evil temperament that matches the film. It has to be said that the director has a good role in casting. However, the director obviously forgot that psychological horror is the top grade in horror, and several unexpected and scary clips are too rigid.
The picture quality is very good, the overall sense of layering is quite good, fine and natural gradation. The hall where Thorne talks with the priest, the bridge hole by the Thames in the rain, and the exterior view of the castle where a family lives are all pretty examples. The color is relatively light, taking a real and natural route. However, in the night lens, there is a relatively strong color cast, which is obviously used to strengthen the subjective feeling of the image on the person. The resolution and detail reduction are very good, and the difficult-to-express shots like Thorne walking into Damian's room in the dark can also pass easily.
The sound effects are very exciting. Not long after the beginning of the film, Thorne’s wife woke up in her dream and vaguely heard an abnormal noise from Damian’s room upstairs. When she listened in the corridor, the noise was accurately positioned above and diagonally forward. The sense of distance is also very accurate. Thorne walked under the bridge to talk to the priest in the rain. As Thorne walked around, the sound of the rain surrounding the whole also changed slightly. After entering the bridge hole, the sense of distance and envelopment of the rain changed, and the sense of presence was quite strong.
