#168: Omen IV: The awakening , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Horror/Horreur

Annee/Year: 1991

Format: DVD

Omen IV the awakening. The fourth installment in the Omen series was a film made for TV. Directors Jorge Montesi and Dominique Othenin-Girard (both mostly known for their TV work although DOG directed After darkness and Halloween 5). This is a movie with a very twisted plot necessary to continue on the original three movies. In the third movie the antichrist was slayed by Christ return so how does one continue such a plot situation... Well it turns out that the antichrist had seduced a journalist before the end of the previous movie and this allowed him to perpetuate his fate in an evil girl child with a plot twist to return a boy child antichrist after wards. You are lost? well it is defintely contrived. The young girl named Delia gets adopted by a family of lawyers who slowly find out the truth about their daughter as the body count starts increasing again around the girl. The cycle is restarted.... Interesting movie but far from being as strong as the previous three of the series. The music is definitely weaker as Jonathan Sheffer steps in Goldsmith's shoes.

La malédiction IV. Un film fait pour la télévision et définitivement pas du calibre des trois premiers. Que peut-on faire pour faire revivre une franchise où l'antihéros est éliminé? Bonne question et les directeurs ici on pondu une histoire tordue qui nous ramène l'antéchrist à travers la naissance d'une fille conquise par Damien lors du troisième film. Une fille antéchrist? Presque. Elle prépare le retour de notre antéchrist male en ayant l;embryon de son jumeau dans son corps. Médicalement tres peu probable. Enfin... La série a pu continuer quelques instants grâce à ce souffle. Vraiment pour les mordus seulement ou ceux qui n'auront jamais assez de ce thème. Parlant de thème, la musique n'est pas de Goldsmith cette fois-ci et le film en souffre beaucoup.

Great quotes:
Karen York: You made me a surrogate for Delia's brother, you son of a bitch!
...
Karen York: [Referring to her son, Alexander, revealed as new Antichrist and world leader] That freak will never rule, because I'm gonna kill him!
