if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This was a futile attempt at a horror movie, effects made me laugh on several occasions actually - and whats up with that dude using a webcamera looking down on him and he facing away from hes computers? normally u would look at ur computer when talking to people using webcam no? ohwell if u have nothing better to watch, see it , but with a stiff drink! I found this movie to be a true insult to everyones intelligence, actually laughed my way through last part, it's so bad i cant imagine it will ever go over 1 on IMDb, though i give it 2 out 10 for the pure sense of the twisted humour in it! (btw check the broad who charges her self on the stick while attacking lol - hilarious)

There are a few redeeming values, some of the music is creepy and the camera work and lighting are decent. The acting is not great, Donald especially could have had much more personality, nor is it terrible like other Asylum movies. Everything else however is a mess. The effects are slapdash at best, part of the reason why the suspenseful/gory scenes don't make an impact, and the direction is inconsistent, there are a few moments where it is competent but one too many times also where it's lazy. They're not the worst parts though. It was how 666: The Child was written where the film really sank. The script is peppered with corny dialogue and lines and exposition that too often go nowhere. The characters, excusing for a moment that they are clichéd, are more annoying than likable and underdeveloped in alternative to well developed. The story is just dull, there is no atmosphere and things happen randomly and with no explanation. All in all, it's a little better than its sequel 666: The Beast but is still very bad, so that is little in its favour. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Thats really saying a lot considering this was made on like a shoestring budget, but really this film was WAY better than the theatrical remake of the Omen. The remake was really boring and just basically the original shot for shot and line for line; this film however while it pretty much retains the same plot line and and angle to it, it adds some nice twists to the story as well (The mark of the beast is on a different place, the plane crash opening, the kid was creepier, etc.) Also the acting was actually decent even for a TV film. Liked the whole different approach for the parents as well (teens instead of adults.) the deaths are pretty cool as well, and while i wont spoil them they are actually better done than the remake deaths.So overall if you actually wanna see a good remake of the omen see this instead of the big budget remake.

Honestly I am not even joking when I say that this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen! This film dosen't have a single ounce of originality in its flimsy dialog or its blatantly plagiarized story line. I can not even begin to count the number of things in this film that are obviously ripped off from "The Omen" and other movies like it. For example the nanny "Lucy" in this film is actually one of the devil's minions sent to guide and protect the spawn of Satan.....does this sound a lot like Mrs. Baylock to anyone else. Another thing is that the orphanage were they first got the child burned to the ground just a few months after he was adopted, just like in "The Omen". However luckily one priest survived the blaze and escaped with sever burns all over his body....yet another coincidence?????? And to top it all off the burned priest is staying in a hospital room with pictures of Jesus all over the walls, much like the priest in "The Omen" having pages of the Bible plastered on the walls like wall-paper. Please don't even get me started drawing comparisons between the ending of this movie and "The Omen" for you because as I've stated above there are far too many to mention here.
