The Omen

Well-to-do couple begins to suspect their young son might be the spawn of Satan or something.

Why You Need It:

Because a pane of glass flies through the air and slices David Warner's damn head clean off. Because a priest is impaled by a freakin' pole that falls from the roof of his own church. Because Lee Remick plummets screaming from the second floor of her fancy house. Because Gregory Peck drags a little kid into a church and threatens to stab him with a dagger. Because Gregory Peck and David Warner dig up the grave of Damien's mother and they find the skeleton of a goddamn jackal or something. Because it's one of the best horror movies ever made. That's why!

Richard Donner (director), Harvey Stephens, Lee Remick, Gregory Peck, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Troughton, Martin Benson, Robert Rietty
