- Our films will continue to grow in sophistication; including telescopic images, time-lapse, drone shots and underwater footage. All will remain educational in an entertaining format. A collection of UK film locations for The Omen - 1976 / 45th year anniversary. includes Guildford Cathedral, All Saints Church, Pyreford Court and Brookwood Military Cemetery. Most locations filmed by drone (some places had flying restrictions, so only hand-held shots were possible). The mansion that housed Robert & Katherine Thorn was at Pyreford Court, but a high brick wall restricts a drone signal and couldn't be flown toward it. Permission may be sought from the site and perhaps expand this film in the future. For a dedicated film on the Cathedral.. • The Omen / Guildford C...

Excellent job. Excellent film. Shame London has turned into what it is now. Actually, shame the film industry has turned into what it is now. Classic film. Superb comparisons. 👏
great video,.thanks for the hard work, watched the movie last night, as a kid in the 70s I saw only parts of it and the second movie, always had an eerie feeling,...thats good film making,...
last night when I saw it, now at 52 yrs old, I have an even better appreciation for the film work,....well done. like Amityville, Excorsist, a foreboding feeling with no CGI involved, a testament to the filmmakers.
It did take a lot of research and planning, thanks. Glad you appreciated it. The movies you mentioned, that entire era, did indeed have that extra quality about them. Everyone knows now that modern horror & sci fi is about CGI. But when models, double exposures etc were employed, it did seem more 'real' rather than 'ohh great programming.' Alien is a perfect example with a 11ft long model of the Nostromo and a real prop bursting through a fake stomach while John Hurt really was there on the table and the actors seeing it all happen in real time.
Master peice absolutely brilliant movie
Fantastic presentation!
The Omen 1 was filmed at myEnglish families Home.
It was the Guiness Banking Family estate.
My Uncle Cyril and Aunt Valerie turned it into a Gentlemens Home / Club.
Ther Kids sold it when thier parents passed
Ohh wow. I never cease to be surprised by replies from total strangers to me. Thank you for your time and sharing. i hope someday to fly my drone closer to the house and expand this film a little further. As mentioned, the high outside wall prevents the drone signal and there doesn't seem to be a safe launch site further out to fly it across. All privacy regulations have been adhered to.
Very cool, I live over the road from Brookwood Cemetry, beautiful place, and very peaceful.
Thank you for your comment. I was very respectful when I was filming. I didn't just look upon the site as an 'Omen' film location. I had to rush back to my van though as it started pouring down and I had no coat, got soaked.
@@astroroadshow hahaha yes that happens here, we enjoy our walks there, thank you for sharing this😊
What a beautiful cemetry !
Thank so much for post that amazing sites!
Thanks. It took a lot of effort. Pyreford Court was the hardest to obtain... nowhere close to park, no path on the road, my van got stuck in mud a hundred yards away, and just a few square feet next to a road for launching the drone and had overhanging tree branches above. A lady came out and complained about the flight even though I wasn't doing anything illegal. I adhered to all the regulations, had my licence, and didn't break any privacy rules. I just mentioned that I was an 'Omen' fan. She said 'Ohh that one again.' And walked away. She was okay and understanding about it ... I think.
This is brilliant.
I honestly never thought to check out the filming locations for this film.
Such a legendary horror film.
Thanks for sharing and keep the filming locations coming.

Thanks. I will produce a slightly more expanded version of this later - two more locations to add.
First time I see movie locations for “The Omen” thanks. I watch a lot of movie location videos and this one is my first on this movie. I was ten years old when this movie came out. It sure gave me the jitters. Good selection on the music you used.
Thanks for your comments. You are a similar age to me, I was 13. I do remember the cinema advertising on TV and the then the complaints flowed about its content. Gregory Peck kept reminding everyone it was just a horror movie and not an actual prediction or making any serious religious statement. The complimentary music was produced by a couple of friends of mine. I tried to match the filming tempo / length of shots with the music I already had in mind. The next movie I want to cover is 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.' That will take a while as it was spread across seven US States from Alabama to Wyoming. Using a drone also gives a unique vantage point that may not have been covered by others.
Apparently Geri Halliwell of The Spice Girls purchased The Omen home back in 1999/2000. I seen it in the documentary she did.
Thanks, I didn't know that. In return, I made a short film on the Isle of Wight that briefly included her Spice Girls Bus... ua-cam.com/video/c99wkohGmA4/v-deo.html
Peter Bassett. This is splendid.
Thank you for your comment. It did take a lot of work and research.
Awesome mate , very relaxing . You thought of doing one for Omen 3 The Final Conflict ? Might be a bit heavy on the petrol bill though as locations range from London to Cornwall to Yorkshire ..
Thanks for your comment. Yes an Omen 3 version would be great. I am retiring in 15 months, I intend to produce more such location movies, your suggestion would be a good one. 'Its a mad mad world' is on my list also... all around the Los Angeles area. I have 'droned' that crazy road at the begining for starters. It starts at Palm desert, NE of LA.
Great video! 😃👍
I'm curious as to where that park like setting was at the beginning oh the original movie. The scene where Gregory Peck and Lee Remick briefly lost track of Damien? Thought you would know seeing as you've obviously done your homework. Anyway, thanks for posting this interesting video. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 👍
Nice to hear from you and your interest. The scene you mentioned was in Hyde Park, London. I have actually filmed it and forgot to include it.. drat! I am hoping to gain permission to film inside Pyreford Court and fly the drone around the mansion. It is owned by private residents now, so I'm hoping someone there will sympathise with my aim and help me. If I do manage it, then I will expand this film and include the Hyde Park location too. It is a fantastic movie, great acting, storyline, locations... everything. It was re-made almost identical shot by shot, word for word. I could never see the point in trying to improve on this film; it was the acting that couldn't be improved upon for a start. I also forgot to image the line of conifer trees that the priest ran past. I went there three times (due to rapidly changing bad weather) to gain the aerial shots of the church and ignored the trees. I also want to include interior shots of St Peter's Church: it was closed at the time of my brief visit.
@@astroroadshow Interesting stuff! Thanks for replying🙂
Great👍🏻 Any idea where the Rome locations were? Excellent film choice.
I haven't researched that side as yet, sorry.
Vow! What lovely scene depicting West Ministers Bridge or what ?
That's Putney Bridge.
Does anyone know where's the location where the photographer's decapitation scene was filmed? I know it's definitely in Jerusalem's Old City or something, but which street exactly? I tried to find by Google Maps but all these streets with tunnels look very similar it's so hard to find!!! x(
The Brookwood Military Cemetry.
Who are the composers of the music used??
Someone with Rome and Jerusalem locations ?
Israel and Rome locations
If you pay for a trip, I will gladly include footage from there too... lol.
@@astroroadshow I can't, if you do will be great
