There are a few redeeming values, some of the music is creepy and the camera work and lighting are decent. The acting is not great, Donald especially could have had much more personality, nor is it terrible like other Asylum movies. Everything else however is a mess. The effects are slapdash at best, part of the reason why the suspenseful/gory scenes don't make an impact, and the direction is inconsistent, there are a few moments where it is competent but one too many times also where it's lazy. They're not the worst parts though. It was how 666: The Child was written where the film really sank. The script is peppered with corny dialogue and lines and exposition that too often go nowhere. The characters, excusing for a moment that they are clichéd, are more annoying than likable and underdeveloped in alternative to well developed. The story is just dull, there is no atmosphere and things happen randomly and with no explanation. All in all, it's a little better than its sequel 666: The Beast but is still very bad, so that is little in its favour. 3/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreThats really saying a lot considering this was made on like a shoestring budget, but really this film was WAY better than the theatrical remake of the Omen. The remake was really boring and just basically the original shot for shot and line for line; this film however while it pretty much retains the same plot line and and angle to it, it adds some nice twists to the story as well (The mark of the beast is on a different place, the plane crash opening, the kid was creepier, etc.) Also the acting was actually decent even for a TV film. Liked the whole different approach for the parents as well (teens instead of adults.) the deaths are pretty cool as well, and while i wont spoil them they are actually better done than the remake deaths.So overall if you actually wanna see a good remake of the omen see this instead of the big budget remake.
... View MoreI was supposed to review this for a website, and I watched this with optimism that perhaps it would at least be a cheesy yet entertaining rip off, and it didn't even do that well enough."666: The Child" is probably one of the worst supernatural thrillers I've ever seen (Even worse than "Godsend") with scenes that rip from "The Omen" without shame. The ending is even very similar to the way "The Omen" ends. Not to mention that the acting, writing, and story are all just hackneyed. If these movies make money, I'm sad to see where Asylum is headed. It's embarrassing.
... View MoreWell this just maybe the worst movie ever at least the worst movie i have ever seen. They have tried out these 666 child of Satan the anti Christ kinda movies about 1000 times and none of them is good and this just maybe the worst of them. They think that it's going to be better movie as more they use that fake blood. This movie doesn't have any idea in it, actors and filming is just terrible. Cant even make out that 10 line minium of this movie. Really nothing to tell about but that it's just horrible. How they can make movies like that in their right mind just can't understand that. This cant be a Hollywood movie, is it? Just don't go watch this use your money more wisely.
