Go See It ****(Four Stars)

This movie is about the beginning of the end, do not go see this movie if you are religiously superstitious.  Not only was this movie released on 06,06,06 but it was all about a child, or should I say the son of the devil named Damien born on That date.  This movie was creepy, and spine chilling with intense graphics.  The only thing that could have made this movie better would be to say in the beginning (leap forward 5 years) instead of saying 5 years ago a child was born, so that he could have been born on the day the movie  was released thus launching the apocalypse.
If you enjoyed Final Destination and The Da Vinci Code  this movie will be right up your ally with its freak accidents that appear to be more than a coincidence, and then the religious mystery solving puzzle however this movie doesn't really include you  in the explanation of the how or why; you kind of have to figure it out on your own.  The movie did open with actual events leading to its explanation with the twin towers, and hurricanes etc. 
On this journey we follow the politician Robert Thorn (Liev Schreiber) and his wife Katharine (Julia Stiles) and we start in the delivery room where their baby boy was killed just after birth but coincidently another boy was born at the same time and his mother died in birth and has no family so they gave Mr and Mrs Thorn the other baby boy to raise, the first mistake was him never telling his wife this was not their child.  They then move to Great Britain where most the movie takes place, after a freak accident where the nanny kills herself the stunning Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) becomes the child's new nanny / guardian mrs baylock where her sole purpose is to groom Damien (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick) for the role he has ahead.
This movie was intense and I do recommend you see it, the two scariest parts are on the preview trailer so its not really a horror or scary film but the real scare is that the devil incarnate could inhabit a child on earth to take over and lead to mass destruction.  This movie stayed very true to its original only more modern setting and characters etc so the original fans will be pleased.
