Verdict on Omen IV: The Awakening
Omen IV: The Awakening is an attempted reboot of the Omen franchise. It follows a new young girl that has questionable behavior problems after the people around her start dying in accidents. This sees the parents trying to figure out the truth before it is too late.
A soft reboot for the Omen did seem to hold the movie back because it all feels like a held-back version of the original. It never brings us enough to make us get any shock in what we are seeing. Unfortunately, this will end up going down as a weak entry in the franchise, which continued a downward spiral.
Final Thoughts – Omen IV: The Awakening continued the downward spiral of the franchise.
