I recently watched The First Omen which kicked off a run of watching other horror films. While many were just the other films in The Omen series, the rest were horror movies from the last 10 years that had been on my list since they were released. I’d probably call out The First Omen, The Omen, and Barbarian as the highlights. I realized that Sam Neil was in The Omen III and Possession in the same year, 1981. While The Omen III is flawed, I was impressed to learn those intense performances were the same year. It Follows and The Babadook were close to being great, but both left too many questions. Malignant has some great WTF moments, but it’s incredibly poorly acted. I was glad to see others calling it the horror equivalent of The Room. The Omen IV would be skippable, but are you not going to watch the whole series?
