"Gregory Peck takes everything pitch-perfect seriously. This is one of his best perfor"
— Chris Stuckmann, ChrisStuckmann.com
"The Omen delivers splendidly."
— Jacoba Atlas, Los Angeles Free Press
"One of the finest horror films of the 1970s."
— Matt Brunson, Film Frenzy
"A truly frightening chiller. A definite classic of the horror genre."
— Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
"The Omen contains some of the most memorable untimely deaths in cinema history."
— Anna Baddeley, Daily Telegraph (UK)
"Entertaining and yes, still ominous after all these years. A landmark of satanic cinema."
— Film4
"This big-budget horror blockbuster is given class by a distinguished cast and an unsettling atmosphere created by director Richard Donner."
— Alan Jones, Radio Times
"Richard Donner's feature directorial debut goes hard (so does Jerry Goldsmith's Oscar winning score), with a number of truly amazing set pieces. This holds up better than you may remember!"
— Joe Lipsett, Horror Queers Podcast
"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."
— David Pirie, Time Out
