Omen, The

Omen, The

1976

Staid American ambassador Robert Thorne (Gregory Peck) and his wife (Lee Remick) adopt a newborn baby boy in place of their stillborn infant … and live to regret it. All's well till the boy's nanny commits hara-kiri -- in front of the guests at the child's fifth birthday bash. As the corpses stack up, Robert comes to believe his son personifies the Antichrist. Soon Robert is pitted against the forces of hell and must make a fateful decision.
