Thoughts On The Omen-1976


I have watched this movie many many times, being that it's a horror classic and all. Since it is a classic, I have always given it the respect it deserved by not questioning certain things. I keep meaning to read the book, perhaps it would make it clearer.



Why didn't the devil's helpers just switch the babies in the first place? Why the whole adoption ruse that would later make the father question where his kid was. I understand he didn't mention to his wife that their baby had died in "childbirth", but why had he never seen his own kid's body or know where it was?



Why did the father cut the hair in the kid's room so the Nanny could sneak up on him after he witnessed the birth mark? Why not just take the kid out for a moment and cut his hair?



Anyway, seemed like some classic horror movie mistakes and inconsistencies.
