10/07: Omen IV: The Awakening isn't a continuation of the franchise but a failed pilot of the possible TV sitcom.

Basically, it's a remake of The Omen but worse...much worse, being a rehash of everything that happened in the original. The worst part is the acting. Michael Lerner is a graduate from Brad Dourif's school of phony acting. The father is a bland Mr.-Fix-It-All while the mother is an ugly I-Can't-Wait-for-Her-to-Die housewife.

Which is more laughable: the quack psychic fair or Delia's eyes? When one steps barefoot into the sandbox that's full of dozen rattlesnakes, what the hell does he think will happen? Instead of Delia as Satan, they decide to have another in Alexander. So, there are two of them in the same picture, but I don't get it.

All in all, Omen IV: The Awakening is the final nail in the coffin for the franchise.
