How on earth does anyone make a sequel bearing the 'Omen' name and come up with something as chronically unscary as this? I've seen creepier and more suspenseful episodes of TJ Hooker than this cardboard cut-out wet weekend of a kids' TV movie. The incidental music is comical, sounding like it was lifted from a particularly jaunty episode of Harry Potter:The Cartoon (if that even exists). But how and why? This is supposed to be The Omen...At least try and make it vaguely chilling. Did anyone even know what they were making? Ho hum, too many pointless questions...The original remains an utterly badass slice of full-on 70s horror, and the first 2 sequels (although flawed) at least took it somewhere still worth watching, but Omen IV is right up there with Jaws 3 and Jason Goes To Hell on the bad sequel naughty step.

This film was definitely made just to cash in on a film franchise and by the time any sequel gets to the fourth installment it gets pretty old. Omen IV is not a great film but its no worse than Amityville 4,Halloween 4,Elm St 4,Psycho 4,Jaws 4,Exorcist 4,Friday the 13th 4,or any other horror film that has made it to the fourth in a series and the acting was better than the acting in the 2006 remake of the omen and better than most horrific horror remakes that are usually just lame period! At least it tried to tell a different story but if fox wanted to make a fourth Omen I don't know why they didn't make Omen IV Armageddon 2000 which was a novel that was the true sequel to the final conflict

Faye Grant & Michael Woods play Karen and Gene York, two successful attorneys who adopt a baby girl named Delia. Years later, as sinister occurrences and mysterious deaths mount in Delia's path, the Yorks become concerned that something is not right with their daughter, especially Karen, who hires a private investigator to uncover the truth, though they'll come to wish they hadn't...The epitome of the pointless, needless, unnecessary, and ineffectual sequel, this film is truly awful, even worse than Part III, which was bad enough. Plot is identical to the first, only this one is inept and unintentionally funny(the Michael Lerner detective seems lifted from a comedy, which the choral music around him indicates!) Only watched it because it was included in the DVD set. This stinker is best ignored.

...But seriously, THIS IS A HORROR FILM! if it was meant to be scary it should have kept me on edge, you know like good horror films do (either that or make me feel for the characters - but that's not important when talking about this movie).The concept of this movie, when written on paper might actually be an interesting idea. Hell, there were parts of this movie which introduced subplots but (like the movie The Room) NEVER moves anywhere after it first being mentioned. The best example of this is Deliah menstruating, which could have introduced a lot of other interesting things in this movie, but instead it just sticks to this one little plot.About my summary "at least I can laugh at it". This movie really did have me in fits of laughter, I was MST3King the movie, but when I got to the ridiculous scenes, like the psychic fair, When all the psychics start having "looks of horror" (I put that in speech commas for a reason... BE WARNED) on their faces after looking at Deliah... I'm sorry just HOW can people take that seriously? let alone find it scary? it's scenes like that and some really badly written lines that make this movie funny.Oh and one thing also, Deliah does NOTHING to really say "she is the daughter of Satan" throughout this movie. Most of the time she just acts like a brat, either that or draw upside-down-crosses on things (which only happens twice). I don't think a brat is in any way intimidating. However people look intimidated at her throughout the movie, it seems like most of the characters in this movie are afraid of little girls.One other complaint about this movie. One of the basic things about movies is that the people working on the movie need to SHOW us what happened instead of TELLING us. This happens quite frequently in the movie, one of them being when Deliah's mother discovers Damien's her father, others like the Christians telling Deliah's mother that she used bad language when really she never said anything before they ran away. Just thought I'd point that out.So really, if you are looking for a movie to watch then please don't watch this. It is never scary, but unintentionally funny (which if that happens in a horror film - it's a failure) and if you're looking for either horror or comedy then please watch something else. This is a waste of time and money.
