What a total waste of time and money that commentary was - either was not interested or couldn't remember anything - should have said no and given someone else a chance. :confused:

The trilogy is a blind buy for me.

:shocked: You've not seen The Omen films?

Wow! I thought they were a staple of horror cinema that everyone had seen...and for the most part really liked.

I know a few of you advised me against the Vipco releases but they were 50p each so I figured why not pick them up for now!


EDIT: Sanctum/Fear Dot Com were from a charity table. I have no idea how good/bad they are!

No not yet Dem. Its only relatively recently i first saw The Exorcist too.
I like the way to put it, 'staples of horror cinema' Dem. While we're on it what else would you consider to be 'staples of horror cinema'?? Or anyone else for that matter.

I called them that possibly as an age thing. When i was growing up as a kid in the eighties films such as The Omen seemed to be on tv every other week and became part of my introduction to horror along with Hammer films and others such as The Fog.

The Exorcist not really, as that was never on tv and only came back into the UK film world relatively recently, see A Clockwork Orange as another example of what i mean.

I was born in 78 so didn't really get into horror until the early 90's. Even then while i was aware of The Omen its not a film i remember being on tv much. My parents were funny about what i was allowed to record and watch as well so i guess its just another one that slipt under the radar. In recent years I've recorded it from tcm and film4 a number of times but wife has always deleted it before I've watched it. She was obsessed with not having enough storage on the sky box thingy.

I typed up a list given in a Empire Magazine supplement, which is a really good 'beginner's guide', and which stood me in good stead when I was a fledgeling genre fan.
