If you're going to remake a movie almost scene for scene just to update the hair styles, then remake THX 1138.

Usually you hear about remakes failing because they stray too far away from the original. This is on the opposite end of that spectrum. It just sort of retraces the steps of the original, scene by scene. Technically, it's not horrible - though the cinematography is really the only thing worthy of praise - but it's not nearly as effective as the original.

Before I start I should note that I haven't seen the original all the way through, but I have seen enough to know that this remake copies the original scene for scene. However this film does little for me, other than the inherant feeling of creepiness that was also associated with the original. The kid in this is a little unconvincing as well, mostly coming off as a brat. The Omen is really an unwanted remake, replacing actors and bringing out an old script again isn't going to be a fresh start.

Supposed signs of prophecy in wrong order chronologically, unless Challenger blew up AFTER 9-11. And speaking of 9-11: they're still permitting him to take all those knives on the plane? And on an international flight from the Middle East at that? I mean, at the very least they wouldn't let him bring them in his carry-on luggage... though the filmmakers missed an awesome opportunity by not showing him trying to sneak the Daggers of Megiddo through airport metal detectors.

Amusing.

Original is better, and a very talented cast is wasted.

This isn't a shot for shot remake like they did with Psycho  But let’s face it  It’s pretty darn close  ( Personally)  I don't think you can go wrong with either film  But I give the remake a slight edge Because I liked the special effects better
