The terror continues in a new descendant of hell...
Most people say that Omen IV The Awakening should not really be included in the Omen Trilogy. We had one, two and three and that was good enough. Then we had this film and then a bad attempt at doing another Omen film in 2006, which was basically a copycat of what had already been done. Just shows that all the good ideas have been used.
What I liked about Omen IV The Awakening, is that the Omen story had spawned in to a new type of evil. I am not disputing that this film was better than the others. On the contrary, i found the first Omen to be a classic. In Omen IV The Awakening, the evil is now in the form of a young girl named Delia, and her connection with Damien and her part in the Omen story is quite a chilling and a creepy revelation. I love this film, but have seen and know many people who do not. Basically for the one reason that they say it ruins the Omen legend and the horror that was created years and years ago. But it is people's own damn fault if they cannot look beyond that.
I find it very refreshing seeing the female as the evil, even if she is a little girl. Delia (played Asia Viera), has a certain darkness behind her anyway. I think it is the actress's face that just makes her look powerful. As if her facial expression is saying to you: "I am unstoppable and superior to you all". And it is true, the evil is unstoppable.
In the first 3, we saw a young boy grow into a powerful man - the omen - the Antichrist. Now, we have his daughter who will reign in the new omen, the new king. "One man, and one religion".
Faye Grant plays the character of Karen York very well. Being a fan of the beautiful actress makes me like this film even more than i do. I love the arc of the story, how it surfaces the evil that is contained in Biblical references in to a new light. This film runs around the start and the beginning of Armageddon - the final confrontation between the forces of good and evil. Damien Thorn fell, but Delia will not be stopped and in the end, you see how evil overcomes what good there is left in the world. Politics rules supreme, and the new Omen is here....
