Did you watch the recent tv series? What did you think of it? I thought Ben Daniels was very good.

The actor who played Damien in the film The Omen has been sentenced for a road rage attack - on Friday the 13th.

Harvey Spencer Stephens, 46, lashed out at two cyclists after getting out of his car following a dispute on 21 August last year, a court heard.

I wasn't aware there was one! No idea how I missed that. :confused: Is it on Netflix/Amazon? Was it any good? I did enjoy Bates Motel though: a worthy tribute to the original story.

My own taste in horror films is more those excellent low budget ones like The Descent, Dog Soldiers and Outpost, although nothing will ever top The Wicker Man for me. :greengrin

It was a decent enough watch, it was on The SyFy Channel.

They had him in a deep freeze for the last five months, you know.

When they put him in, he wasn't actually dead yet. :devil:
