THE OMEN (1976)
Special Features: 50th Anniversary
When his wife gives birth to a stillborn baby, American ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) accepts the hospital chaplain’s offer to secretly substitute a newborn whose mother died in childbirth. But little Damien turns out to be an infernal terror — literally. This psychologically savvy horror film, in the tradition of ROSEMARY’S BABY and THE EXORCIST, was a smash hit in 1976, establishing TV vet Richard Donner as a serious film director and spawning a long-running, if less distinguished, franchise of sequels and novelizations. Composer Jerry Goldsmith, an 18-time Academy Award® nominee, won his sole statuette for Best Score, and was nominated for Best Song (“Ave Satani”).
