My Unsophisticated Twin Explains Some Movies For You: Omen Trilogy Edition

Richard Donner once said that, in his direction of The Omen (1976), he shot the story to “make it look like it could be the devil, or it could be nothing more than a frightening moment of circumstance that took somebody’s life. Everything from the priest getting killed by a bolt of lightning that hits the church, to a plate a glass coming off and decapitating somebody, to the nanny coming into the room at night; you never see Lee get pushed out… she could have stumbled in a moment of panic. I did everything so it could have been circumstantial.”
