The box set art is great but other one.. not so much.
so regular dvd got a box featuring all 4 of the originals and the remake, and blu-ray simply gets the first 3 originals? i realize part 4 is probably c**p and the remake was pretty boring but complete collections are always more fun.
terrible covers.
and why is the fourth Omen movie and the remake not included?
bogus!

I guess I'm the only one who thinks that artwork is great. It's not photoshop vomit, even if it isn't one of the posters or whatever.
I honestly love the artwork. Too bad the movie is complete trash, and the remake is even worse....
First off. The fourth movie is s**t. Second they could have included the remake. BUt how would they make more money off this trash in the future. So all of you can suck and swallow.
The art work isnt that bad for the first flick the other is kindda lame. Whos the midget in the middle.

Who asks for this? And why not put the complete collection in it? I wish that the reps would send out questionnaires to sites like this to see what we, the buyers of dvds, want to see re-released, put on Blu-Ray, etc. I cannot see myself or any of my friends buying this, let alone thinking it is a necessary release. What a waste of money on their part.
The Covers do not look photoshoped? Looked at the embossed midget on the boxset-cover? If they removed him I guess that one would be OK.
But Blu Way should be forced tyo use theatrical posters imo

The first (original) film is a classic. A truly creepy and classy horror film. The sequel? TERRIBLE! The third, better. But not great. The 4th (TV film) should not even be discussed. And the remake is abysmal.

According to thedigitalbits.com The Omen Collection does include the remake. But still not the 4th one.
Every 'Omen' movie with the exception of the fantastic original BLOWS. I would never buy this set simply because I would never want to throw any more money at the remake. I saw that stillborn in theaters and am still stewing about it.
I just bought a box set of the first 3 yesterday on DVD. I haven't actually seen the sequels, but I don't care if they're c**p anyways, because the set was only 2 dollars more than I would spend to get the original alone.
Classic but already have the box set - why really would I want to double dip....
Have you seen those prices... I'll stick to the complete collection i bought on sd-dvd yesterday for only 7 pounds yest in HMV.
ps. I agree, Im still stewin about seein that awful remake in the theatres.
