Existing Film Research - The Omen

Instantly it is obvious that this is quite an old film, dating back to 1976 when technology was not as it is today. Therefore the ideas in the film may be quite dated and may not be perceived as scary by people in society today as people would have in 1976. You can tell that this film isn't exactly new not only by the obvious '20th Century Fox' text, but by the grainy, old element to the picture. 




 However, I am shocked by this film trailer's ability to scare the audience. I admire the simplicity in this trailer/film even more due to the lack of technology involved.  and I am immediately inspired to create something so simple yet creepy of my own!




I like the idea of using a child because children are usually seen as innocent and harmless. However, by demonizing something so innocent it somehow plays on our minds more than anything else. I want to take a simple idea and play with it to create something original and scary!
