This is the fifth movie of the omen franchise, and it is a prequel to the events of the movies.

So, where to begin? Honestly, this is a bad movie. Bad acting with boring, tedious storyline makes this one of the worst movies I've seen recently. The story is so boring, and it has many unnecessary events, that you can start watching from around 30-40 minutes in, 2x speed, and you won't miss anything. If this was a half hour movie, it still wouldn't be good, but better. The movie also fails to scare. It is almost a dry drama with some jump scares, and believe me, having a couple of disgusting birth scenes is not helping.

Even though some seemingly big names are in it, the acting is so bad that this is almost like an independent low-budget B horror movie and not an installment to the mighty omen series.

The bottom line: even for me, an omen series fan, this is a bad, boring, wannabe horror movie, and it is painful to watch. 4/10.

In this movie, a late night show host, desperate for ratings, does some paranormal experiments live on air on the Halloween night of 1977.

This movie right now has a rating of 7.4 with 13k votes, which by the scale of the horror movies is like 9 for regular movies, so as a horror fan I've watched it as soon as I could.

I really wanted to like this, I really did. It is a unique story as mentioned by other reviewers, the setting is great, acting is great (specially Mr. Dastmalchian), the movie is really engaging and not a bad at all, totally watchable. So what's the catch? In my humble opinion, it is not scary. It has some scary moments, but in overall, I didn't find it scary.

Most horror movies have some main elements that are scary or at least creepy for everyone, like new house, peculiar entities, etc., but late night shows are not creepy in nature, so maybe they needed some more preparations or backstories for the viewers.

In conclusion, this is not a bad movie, it is unique, has its moments and acting is great. In general, it could be better (or worse), but it is watchable, specially for horror fans, but do not expect anything groundbreaking or extraordinary.

This movie is a semi-reboot of Resident Evil live action movies. To be honest, the previous live action Resident Evil movies were terrible, even for me, an avid RE fan (except for the first one).

In this installment of RE series, we are on the September 1998 again, with those characters and places. Even thought they have altered many events, details and character appearances for this movie, I think is will be enjoyable for RE video games fans. Unlike the other RE movies, the acting is not terrible and special effects are believable and fresh.

This is by far the best RE live action movie. Better than expected, it does not disappoint, and it is fun to watch.
