Movies that feel likeThe Omen (1976)
If you loved The Omen, the closest films we have are Halloween (1978), What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962) and Nightwatch (1994). All three share The Omen's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

If The Omen hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: halloween

Dread-soaked where it counts, unsettling underneath


Thriller built on dread, twice over
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1990s show


Both lean on tension more than on thriller

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases

Thriller built on unease, twice over

One thread runs through both: prophecy
The difference: Easier on the tension than The Omen

The same preoccupation in both: halloween
The difference: Leans harder into drama than The Omen does

Both keep coming back to the same thing: paranormal phenomena
