666: The Child (2006)

the audience applauded

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Thats 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.

After a plane crash where a boy is the only survival, the famous anchor Erika Lawson (Sarah Lieving) convinces her husband and cameraman Scott (Adam Vincent) to adopt the child. They bring Donald (BooBoo Stewart) home and Scott's father Big Jake (Robert D Mcewen) offers to take care of him while the couple works. However, after a series of bizarre accidents that culminates with the death of Jake, the nanny Lucy Fir (Nora Jesse) comes to the Lawson's home to work. However, Lucy is actually a follower of the Anti-Christ and together with Donald, they bring more tragedies to the Lawson's family."666 – The Child" is a terrible low-budget rip-off of "The Omen". The awful screenplay has also bad acting and poor special effects and the result is a stupid flawed and annoying film. The conclusion is ridiculous. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "666 – O Filho do Mal" ("666 – The Son of the Evil")

very entertaining, things like this make me laugh and i am pretty certain the whole thing was 'tongue in cheek' cant see that anyone would take it seriously, its just totally hilarious, and yeah the anti Christ boy 'donald' like... zilch personality, all in all it made me giggle for over an hour, i think really that you are all missing the point and it isn't actually meant to be considered a serious piece of film making... from what i can tell for other comments, this production company make 'sppofs' of well known horror films, so considering that, this is a pretty good spoof...if you really want to get annoyed, aim it at the re make of the omen, which was supposed to be serious and is just utter rubbish and no point int hem making it.

This is one of those sorry movies that are so bad they're not even good in a bad sort of way. They're just plain bad. At times it plays like one of those Naked Gun style parodies so that, at any moment, you expect Leslie Neilsen to come tripping out with a comical expression on his face.An obvious cheap rip-off of The Omen, 666 doesn't even try to add anything to the original's template, it simply sketches over the same details like a six-year-old child tracing over a Michelangelo with a stubby pencil. Logic goes out the window early on as a TV anchor woman who is prone to getting emotional on-air adopts a child who is the only survivor of the crash of Flight 7666. Before you can say boo boo people are dying all over the place, although nobody quite manages to put two and two together (even when a dentist and his assistant both get drilled in the eye when trying to work on the kid it is just blithely dismissed as an accident in the following scene).Things don't get any better as the film progresses. All the adults are so stupid they deserve to die, and little Damien – er, Donald – who at some point is joined by a nanny called Lucy Fir, is too bland to be the anti-Christ. Blood flies against walls in illuminous red so bright you can imagine it glowing in the dark, and eventually everyone dies. Except for Donald – er, Damien; no – Donald. He survives for the sequel that we must all pray never gets made
