9 Horror Movie Remake Deaths That Were Way Better Than The Original

9. Keith Jennings - The Omen

The decapitation of David Warner's Keith Jennings in The Omen is a moment that instantly takes you aback upon a first watch. After a sheet of glass slides out of the back of a truck, Warner's character ends up having his head sliced off by said glass.

While this is certainly a memorable death and one horror hounds often hold on a pedestal, the sad reality is that it actually looked a bit naff. Given the restrictions of the time, Richard Donner's 1977 film did the best that it could in making this decapitation look realistic, but the end result is one that clearly looks like a mannequin head has been tossed up in the air.

It may be the only way in which 2006's The Omen surpasses its namesake, yet it's hard to argue that the sheer advancement in technology doesn't make the decapitation of David Thewlis' Jennings look infinitely better than the character's fate in '76.

Of course, the demise of the 2006 iteration of Keith Jennings is slightly different to his predecessor. While his fate is still death by decapitation, that decapitation takes place when a sign swings down to sever his head from his body.
