The Omen Collection - $14.99 @ Amazon

Just in time for Halloween, Amazon.com has dropped the price for The Omen Collection down to a mere $14.99. Could it be a price mistake?

I think it's a true price. DDD has it for under $18. I might get it if I knew more about the packaging.

If it's the same set I have... It's a box set with the 4 films (the 4th is only available in the box set). Each film has its own keep case.

Not that it's necessary, but I wonder if this drop means that Fox will re-release the set to coincide with the remake next year.

What remake? I haven't heard anything about that. Thanks for the info!!!

I guess I shouldn't be surprised....every decent movie from the past is getting remade!!!

For $14.xx I will have to think about getting this set. It has been on my wishlist for over a year.

The only 2 cast, so far, are Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles. Unfortunately, the guy directing this gave us "Flight of the Phoenix".

LOL !! the first disc 'The Omen' is currently on sale at TWEC stores at $4.99 after a $5 MIR. Considering that this is the only decent flick in this set, even $14.99 seems high

Is this worth a blind buy?

I'm in at this price... The 1st and 2nd are the best by far. The 3rd and 4th are so so... but I can't resist for $14.99

If you like supernatural thrillers with a touch of horror it's definately a good blind buy. At $3.75 per movie what have you got to lose? The first Omen movie is a classic that's worth the $14.99 alone.

I saw Omen IV on HBO not too long ago and didn't think much of it. I suspect I may have enjoyed it better had I seen the previous 3...what with the storyline seemingly relating to the previous movies.
