This is how you do a horror movie trailer.
Yes, The Omen: 666 is just the latest in a string of largely superfluous remakes of ’70s horror hits. And yes, I thought the first one was a strong idea and a smattering of strong images (the fate of the nanny, the baboons, “his mother was a j–“) grafted into a go-nowhere sequel-primed non-thriller. But with its ostentatious quietness, I guarantee you the trailer for this remake will turn some heads, even if the movie ultimately doesn’t. It’s the smartest horror/thriller trailer I’ve seen since the teaser for Red Eye, from back before they decided it’d be a great idea to reveal that SHE GETS OFF THE GODDAMN PLANE ALIVE in the subsequent trailers. Ooooh, how suspenseful! Ahem. Anyways, enjoy.
