Ominous

First of all -- who are these people who give this movie ten stars? Either they work for the company that made this movie or are incredibly stupid or have never seen a good movie.

As noted by others - this movie is a really poor imitation of The Omen and its other incarnations.

There is no tension or suspense or even drama. Without any subtlety, our demonic boy uses his 'powers' to kill those around him. Here is where the movie's low budget becomes most evident with its basement quality (laughable) CGI.

There was zero empathy created for the characters. The mom is daft to the facts around him, unconvinced his baby is responsible for the various murders around him - even when he walks away from a burning car without a scratch.

This movie looks like the typical crappy Syfy made for TV movies. And even though, every time I see one of these POC, I vow never to watch this channel again, but the kid in me who grew up on 'Creature Features' (showing my age here), still loves a good monster/horror movie.

This wasn't one.

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.

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.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! A 2 stars movie! Can you imagine that? Well, lucky for you, you don't have to, you just need to watch Ominous!

Worse special effects I've seen the past 5 years, truly bad, possibly made in Paint, quite a viable explanation. The plot is overused, the acting B movie all the way, the camera is nothing special, and making a full circle, returning to the CGI, cause if there is no room for horror, there sure is for laughter! If you see this with friends you will laugh and have a blast. I guarantee it!!

All joke aside, I mean, Ominous aside, this is a movie you simply must not touch. Consider it being the haunted tape from The Ring. The effect might be similar. Stay away. Go somewhere else. Warn others.

Cheers!

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.
