The Chosen is an Italian/British co production and is a cheap knockoff and cash in of the success of The Omen. While this can't touch the Richard Donner directed classic, it is not too shabby and is a pretty decent B movie. This plays a bit less like a horror movie and more like a thriller and is devoid of the scares and dark atmosphere that The Omen had. Kirk Douglas is the best thing about this movie and brings a tremendous performance. The film itself, is pretty solid, looks good and the plot is a mix of the strange circumstances and supernatural storyline of The Omen and the cold war nuclear paranoia of the post WW2 era. This low budget apocalpse story is decent and is good to pass the time.
