Ti West writes and directs this supernatural chiller set in, and inspired by the horror films of, the 1980s. When cash-strapped college student Samantha Hughes (Jocelin Donahue) takes a babysitting job in a remote country mansion, she soon senses that something is not quite right. As a lunar eclipse darkens the sky overhead, Samantha begins to realise that her employers (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov) intend to use her for something far more sinister than mere childcare...
Horror remake of the original 1980 teenage slasher movie. The film begins in 1980 with Pamela Voorhees (Nana Visitor) attempting to murder her last female victim in a bid to avenge her son Jason (Derek Mears)'s death. However, the girl manages to escape after cutting off Pamela's head: an act which the young and apparently alive Jason witnesses from the woods. Events then skips to the present day with a group of teenagers set to go camping at Camp Crystal Lake, the scene of previous atrocities. Inevitably, one by one, they run into the machete-wielding, hockey-masked Jason who's back to do some slashing.
US Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) is persuaded to substitute a newborn baby whose mother has died in childbirth for his own stillborn son. By the age of five the child, Damien, seems to be exerting a malevolent influence on the Thorn household, suffering a violent fit when he is taken to church and causing his nanny to hang herself. Thorn searches for an answer to his son's behaviour and meets maverick priest Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton), who tries to convince him that Damien is in fact the Antichrist and must be stopped at all costs. The Ambassador at first dismisses this as the crazy rantings of a religious maniac, but subsequent events suggest that maybe the priest had a point.

Triple bill featuring the first three 'Omen' films. The saga begins with 'The Omen' (1976), when US Ambassador Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) is persuaded to substitute a newborn baby, whose mother has died in childbirth, for his own stillborn son. By the age of five, the child, Damien (Harvey Stephens), seems to be exerting a malevolent influence on the Thorn household, suffering a violent fit when he is taken to church and causing his nanny to hang herself.

Aunt Marion (Lee Grant) is the first to suspect there is more to the young devil than adolescent angst, leading to her swift dispatch by a killer raven.

The third film, 'Omen 3 - The Final Conflict' (1981), finds Damien (Sam Neill) all grown up and heading a multinational company. He is about to be appointed US Ambassador to England, a position which will enable him to take over the world and thus fulfil the terrible forecasts of scripture.
