THE OMEN (2006)
About this episode
The episode discusses the shortcomings of the 2006 remake of 'The Omen' and explores what could have improved the film.
While the 2000s were lousy with horror remakes, perhaps none struggled to justify its existence as much as this uninspired, beat-for-beat retread of the Richard Donner Catholic shocker. It seemed to only exist because a studio executive noticed that there would be a 6/6/6 on the calendar less than 11 months before this would be dumped into theaters to a tepid if lucrative response. This week Mike, Stephen & Devaughn look back at what went wrong and what could have salvaged this Liev Schriber and Julia Stiles vehicle.
