Omen IV: The Awakening (1991)

If you adopt a baby from nuns the last thing you expect is for it to be the bloody Antichrist, but that’s what an unsuspecting couple gets in the fourth entry, planned as a new beginning for the franchise. The majority of it is a rehash of the original film, albeit one with some gender roles reversed.
Any power the original aspects could've had is nullified by comedy music. It’s not an exaggeration to say that at times it felt like I was watching a parody.
The planned sequels didn't happen. Instead, they remade the first film again.
