    Director John Moore's remake of the 1976 horror film The Omen stars Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber as the parents of the devil reincarnated, Damien (Davey-Fitzpatrick). (Tricia Spears)

    Special features include commentary by Director Moore, Glenn Williamson, and Dan Zimmerman; a ten-minute Abbey Road Sessions featurette; a 22-minute Revelation 666 featurette; two extended scenes; and The Devil's Footnotes trivia track.

    The 1.82:1 Blu-ray Disc image is generally pleasing, with deep blacks, good shadow delineation, and well-balanced colors. Fine details can be captured well, but they are not consistently so. (Danny Richelieu)

    The core DTS® stream from the lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1-channel encoding features a good mix that keeps the listening space involved, and adequate fidelity. Dialogue can have an unnatural edginess to it, and distortion can be heard at times. (Danny Richelieu)

    Reason #23 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    There are so many good reasons why I read Widescreen Review. It is one of the best magazines on the current market about electronic gadgets. It is informative, precise, and contains up-to-the-minute information on all the things that you will ever need to know about electronics in the twentieth century.
