The Omen

© 20th Century Fox 1976

Gregory Peck is the ambassador to the United States who's wife has a stillborn child. Without her knowledge, he substitutes another baby as theirs. A few years go by, and then grisly deaths begin to happen. The child's nanny hangs herself and a priest is speared to death in a freak accident. It turns out the child is the son of Satan and can only be killed with the seven daggers of Meggado.
Nikki is on the downward slope of self-destruction. In need of a splash of good publicity after pushing another model offstage at the latest fashion show, her agent (Gina Gershon) books a photo op with Dylan, setting the stage for an unlikely courtship.

With the help of his two best friends, Slap (Gideon Glick) and Ricky (Matthew Bush), Dylan spends his last days in Manhattan, trying to fulfill his wish, to the dismay of his single mom, Karen (Cynthia Nixon). In addition to the usual growing pains encountered by a boy his age, Dylan is faced with coming to terms with his imminent departure from this world. His resulting journey is both touching and surprisingly funny.
