From Cinelinx:
Our series on remakes continues with a film which is more of a duplication than an actual remake. This week, Cinelinx looks at The Omen (2006).
Why do horror movies like to use children or creepy dolls as conduits or gateways to the supernatural?
While we have no definitive answer, you will learn that the idea of conjuring kiddos and dolls as dramatic device to the nether world is neither rare nor fresh.
As we take a look at all the games and films that have had reboots, remakes and remasters, Bryan and Steven discover they are little hypocritical.
Chillopedia: Dispite an ever green critical backlash from crtitics towards most of the horror films these days, horror cinema like always keeps on thriving with classic titles hitting the theaters every once in a while.
I don't get these shot-by-shot remakes. They lose something in the translation. You can't replicate what made the originals great, nor the impact they have.
