    Page 117 FILM REVIEWS Year of the Remake: The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man Jenny McDonnell The current trend for remakes of 1970s horror movies continued throughout 2006, with the release on 6 June of John Moore’s The Omen 666 (a scene­for­scene reconstruction of Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen) and the release on 1 September of Neil LaBute’s The Wicker Man (a re­imagining of Robin Hardy’s 1973 film of the same name). In addition, audiences were treated to remakes of The Hills Have Eyes, Black Christmas (due Christmas 2006) and When a Stranger Calls (a film that had previously been ‘remade’ as the opening sequence of Scream). Finally, there was Pulse, a remake of the Japanese film Kairo, and another addition to the body of remakes of non­English language horror films such as The Ring, The Grudge and Dark Water. Unsurprisingly, this slew of remakes has raised eyebrows and questions alike about Hollywood’s apparent inability to produce innovative material. As the remakes have mounted in recent years, from Planet of the Apes to King Kong, the cries have grown ever louder: Hollywood, it would appear, has run out of fresh ideas and has contributed to its ever­growing bank balance by quarrying the classics. Amid these accusations of Hollywood’s imaginative and moral bankruptcy to commercial ends in tampering with the films on which generations of cinephiles have been reared, it can prove difficult to keep a level head when viewing films like The Omen 666 and The Wicker Man.

  • Scared Sacred: Idolatry, Religion and Worship in the Horror Film Exclusive Chapter Except for Daily Dead From
    Scared Sacred: Idolatry, Religion and Worship in the Horror Film Exclusive chapter except for Daily Dead from: “I don’t know if we’ve got the heir to the Thorn millions here or Jesus Christ Himself”: Catholicism, Satanism and the Role of Predestination in The Omen (1976) LMK Sheppard In The Omen’s (1976) climactic scene, protagonist Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) takes his adoptive son Damien (Harvey Stephens) to sacred ground on the instruction of historian and demonologist/exorcist Carl Bugenhagen (Leo McKern). Thorn plans to murder the young heir in accordance with an ancient ritual. The entire narrative has led to this moment, at which point the titular omen is finally brought to bear: will the suspected Son of Satan be allowed to live, or will he be sacrificed for the greater good? This choice is not one made of free will; it has been purportedly predestined since biblical times, as confirmed by the final scene. At the double funeral of his parents, the camera focuses upon the face of Damien as he smiles before revealing that the child is holding the hands of two adults: Thorn’s best friends, the President of the United States and his first lady. Thorn’s attempt to kill Damien has set in motion a specific course of events, and the orphaned child has been adopted by arguably the most politically influential couple in the world. Thorn’s choice therefore played a pivotal part in the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy: the Antichrist will arise from the world of politics and bring about the apocalypse.

In particular, film fiction has aroused interest because of the strength of emotional response. Traditional thinking about film accepted that illusion was a component of a spectator’s experience of film. However, contemporary theory has veered significantly from this and assumed that the spectator is always aware of the fictional nature of the content.

  • Satan in the Modern World
    Chapter 1 sa T a n i n T h e Mo D e r n Wo r l D n 1977 rumors started circulating among Christian churches that I Ray Kroc, owner of the McDonald’s fast-food chain, had appeared on the Phil Donahue show in May of that year to claim that the corpora- tion’s success was due to his pact with the devil. According to the rumors, he was donating 35 percent of the restaurant chain’s profits to the Church of Satan. A few years later, in 1982, rumors spread that the Proctor and Gamble logo depicting a moon and star was a satanic symbol. It was alleged that the company president, “a major twentieth-century Satanist,” also appeared on the Phil Donahue show confessing that all the company profits went to the Church of Satan. Even though the events never occurred—Kroc had appeared on the Phil Donahue show, but only to promote his book—rumors of Satanic activities continue. An Internet search of the names of these com- panies with the added word “Satan” reveals how persistent these rumors are. Who is this Satan who supposedly profits from major corporate contri- butions? Close your eyes and try to picture what Satan might look like. What do you see? Do you see a man in red tights with a forked tail, cloven hooves, horns on his head, and holding a pitchfork?—something akin to the logo found on cans of Underwood Deviled Ham Spread? If so, such a modern appearance is rooted in an early attempt of Christianity to demonize the gods of those they considered pagans.

Fry Dr Northwest Missouri State University, [email protected] Recommended Citation Fry, Carrol L. Dr (2015) ""We Are Legion": Primal Dreams and Screams in the Satanic Screen," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 19 : Iss. 2 , Article 8. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol19/iss2/8 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. "We Are Legion": Primal Dreams and Screams in the Satanic Screen Abstract Satan figures prominently in the Christian tradition as the ultimate Other, the enemy of our species, and he has been a central villain first in literature and now in horror films. Why viewers enjoy films that scare them is a conundrum of long standing. An explanation might come from the work of a new generation of Darwinists who have expanded on the master's findings to develop the field of evolutionary biology. Scholars in these fields believe that adaptation to the environment and survival of the fittest created not only physical forms for species but also behaviors that were adaptive for our primal ancestors and are now part of our genetic makeup as whispers within that nudge our actions and beliefs. Our response to film and literature is an important form of that behavior, and evolutionary biology would suggest that the whisperings would lead us to respond with pleasure to primal narratives inherited from adaptive experiences of our Paleolithic and Neolithic forebears.
