Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Richard Donner directs more for speed than mood, but there are a few good shocks.

Richard Donner's direction is taut. Players all are strong.

fresh:
A member of the Exorcist family, it is a dreadfully silly film, which is not to say that it is totally bad.

rotten:
As long as movies like The Omen are merely scaring us, they're fun in a portentous sort of way.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
This apocalyptic movie mostly avoids physical gore to boost its relatively unoriginal storyline with suspense, some excellent acting (especially from Warner and Whitelaw), and a very deft, incident-packed script.
