Watch Ominous For Free

I love this movie so much

Instant Favorite.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

all i can say is do not waste your time. this movie is so so so pathetic from start to finish , rip offs from a multitude of other far better films. warning if you choose to watch it you might want to gauge out your eyes i know i did. i remember when the syfy channel put out very good movies all the time worthy of watching over and over again but no more it seems 90% of the time their movies are horrific.

I saw that Barry Watson was in this movie and I haven't seen him in a while so I decided to watch. This poor couple Rachel & Michael Young (Esmé Bianco & Barry Watson) lose their son Jacob played by Gavin Lewis. A creepy man (Mark Lindsay Chapman) approaches them & claims to be able to bring the boy back from the dead. In their grief, they accept the offer (I was always told not to accept candy from a stranger....I'm thinking that an offer to bring a dead loved one back to life falls into the no-no category as well). After they take the deal, shockingly, bad things start happening. As the movie went on, I questioned a lot of things- especially the decisions the characters made. When the movie ended though, I thought about it & some of the things they did made sense in a "we brought back our dead kid, he's not the same, & now we don't know what to do" kind of way. The best thing about the movie- and why I gave it 5 stars- is Gavin Lewis as Jacob. There were times this kid genuinely creeped me out. He would've been downright scary if the CGI wasn't so terrible. The worst part of this movie is definitely the end. It. Was. Awful. There's really nothing special about this movie, it's been done a few times before. I wouldn't recommend watching it- but I guess it depends on what you like. What I learned from watching this movie: If it moves like a duck & quacks like a duck- there's a chance that it still may not be the duck that you know & love. Just say no to tall, dark, & creepy strangers. Barry Watson isn't a bad actor but the only 7th Heaven kid that I know has done anything worth mentioning is Jessica Biel. That's only because she married Timberlake.I do apologize if this review seemed a little scatter brained but it's my first review without spoilers.

Horrible poor cliché of a movie. Terrible imitation of Godsend,The Omen,and Orphan. The acting is bad, although of the three main characters, the mother is the best. The little boy playing the child is contrived, stilted,one of the worst actors and at times comical.He is clearly playing a part. The "writer" does not even know basic grammar-to my mother and I instead of the proper object of the preposition-me. He makes this error throughout the movie's dialogue. I watched while I waited for a phone call so I did see pretty much all the film. Somehow I thought it might get better, but no such luck. Movies today are rarely horror, but too frequently horrible. I love a good fright but not silly nonsense that has no subtlety, artistry, or fear elements. Ominous is what this movie is-a warning to steer clear.

Following the tragic death of their son, a grieving family is offered the opportunity to see him again only to realize they have the demonic spawn of the Antichrist in their care and must try to prevent his true form from appearing.This here was a rather disappointing but still enjoyable effort with some decent parts about it. For the most part, what tends to work here is the rather enjoyable amount of action on display here, which tends to come off rather nicely here by bringing a lot of exciting moments. The first few times this happens, from the initial reaction to the dog and the strange looks and glances he gave to the chilling way he would pop up everywhere during any kind of conversation, even if it dealt with him or not, is certainly enough to feel that something is going on before it gets to the rather fun display of powers in the church eruption. This is quite a big, gateway scene that fully explores the power within through an explosive action-sequence that features the priest catching fire and the subsequent race to put him out amidst the panicked crowds and then using the supernatural powers to explode the stained-glass windows and using them to wound a fellow priest on the scene gives this a truly strong sequence. Likewise, the playground attack of him gathering objects through supernatural means and flinging them through the air with supernatural winds while killing off dozens of people is a fantastic moment that comes off nicely as well as the police ambush on their hotel hideout where the drawing of the murderous crows is sent into battle against the agents and bringing about tons of great deaths and action with the demonic-influenced creatures generating a lot of fun throughout here. The resulting battle in the head-room and chase back to the house is all fine enough, and along with the decent gore here make this one good enough to become watchable although there are some big flaws on display here. The main issue here is the film's main premise, which is surprisingly never once brought up as anything more than a means to move the film along and never once questioned or even given much consideration as for why anyone would welcome that to begin with, and the need for doing so is never given here other than parental guilt. Also, this has the unfortunate problem of literally requiring everyone around him to be the biggest morons on the planet for their cluelessness at what's going on, for it's one thing to feel parental guilt and remorse over what happened which may make them turn a blind eye to the proceedings, but it's another when this one does such a fantastic job at demonstrating his obvious evil tendencies that to not recognize it after the priests' murder or the incident at the gas- station which should've been the biggest clue something was wrong here. That is so incompetently handled that it really sticks out in here, much like the lousy CGI on display does to crop up here from time to time. Even further, that this relies so heavily on borrowed material is quite troubling, really making this out to be lifted from so many other sources that it can't even find its own identity in here. These issues are what really hold this one down.Rated Unrated/R: Violence, Language and violence-against-animals.
