the omen (2006)

aka The Omen 666.
"This is for you, Damien! All of this is for you!"
Richard Thorne (Liev Schreiber), an American ambassador in London, is initially concerned about his wife (Julia Stiles) and her relationship with their son Damien (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick). Confronted by a priest (Pete Postlethwaite), he rejects the clerics assertion that Damien is the son of the devil, but when the priest dies horrifically, Thorne finally starts to accept that his wife and the priest may have been right.
A weak cast, and (if you've seen the original), a predictable plot, lessens the enjoyment of this otherwise fine film.
