The list goes on, and it also includes a memorable horror film that spawned quite the franchise. Despite mixed reviews upon its theatrical release, The Omen became a box office smash, earning more than $60 million in the U.S. and becoming one of the highest-grossing moves that year.
"American diplomat Robert (Gregory Peck) adopts Damien (Harvey Stephens) when his wife, Katherine (Lee Remick), delivers a stillborn child. After Damien's first nanny hangs herself, Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton) warns Robert that Damien will kill Katherine's unborn child. Shortly thereafter, Brennan dies and Katherine miscarries when Damien pushes her off a balcony. As more people around Damien die, Robert investigates Damien's background and realizes his adopted son may be the Antichrist."
The impact of The Omen spreads far and wide, with the popular filmmaking website NoFilmSchool.com boldly claiming that it "set the satanic horror standard."
The film was remade and released in 2006, amid the original's 30th anniversary, this time starring Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber, though it was no match for the source material. The latest addition to the franchise was The First Omen in 2024, a prequel to The Omen.
