Ominous

I assumed Esme Bianco, who played the mother of Jacob in Ominous, but also had a solid role in Game of Thrones, had better opportunities post GOT, so I don't know why she chose this role. GOT alumni haven't properly utilized their fame to get quality roles. This movie is just horrible. A little bit of Omen, a little bit of Exorcist, and whole lot of nothing in between. She took her role seriously, and she put for the proper emotions when needed. But "Ominous" didn't even make the cut as a bottom feeder SYFY movie. Horrid script, poor directing, subpar acting. Just a super bad movie, all around. Esme, don't cheat yourself, or us. You can do better than this.

3/10.

Terrible, cliché ridden crap movie. I thought this was going to be a pretty good movie and looked forward to watching. Boy was I wrong. This is a very slow moving, predictable piece of terrible cinema. I wouldn't watch again if my life depended on it. Bad acting, bad storyline and bad script all combine to make one awful experience. A lot of SyFys original movies are pretty good, and this one had potential, however ended up falling flat. This story had been told a hundred different ways in a hundred other much better movies than this one. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Even reading a dictionary is a better idea than watching this drivel.

all i can say is do not waste your time. this movie is so so so pathetic from start to finish , rip offs from a multitude of other far better films. warning if you choose to watch it you might want to gauge out your eyes i know i did. i remember when the syfy channel put out very good movies all the time worthy of watching over and over again but no more it seems 90% of the time their movies are horrific.

This film hurt my brain. A lot.

Poorly acted, too much echo, inane and derivative plot; I could go on. A complete waste of time.

Horrible poor cliché of a movie. Terrible imitation of Godsend,The Omen,and Orphan. The acting is bad, although of the three main characters, the mother is the best. The little boy playing the child is contrived, stilted,one of the worst actors and at times comical.He is clearly playing a part. The "writer" does not even know basic grammar-to my mother and I instead of the proper object of the preposition-me. He makes this error throughout the movie's dialogue. I watched while I waited for a phone call so I did see pretty much all the film. Somehow I thought it might get better, but no such luck. Movies today are rarely horror, but too frequently horrible. I love a good fright but not silly nonsense that has no subtlety, artistry, or fear elements. Ominous is what this movie is-a warning to steer clear.
