666: The Child

2006 ·1h 20m · ★ 3.6 (33)

A jet liner plummets from the sky and crashes into the earth. From the burning embers rises one lone survivor - a small boy! But the childless couple that adopts him will soon discover he is no helpless child, but rather something very powerful, something very dark. This small boy is the Beast and with him he carries the Beginning of the End.

Why it matters

A demonic origin story wrapped in low-budget supernatural horror that taps into primal fears of the innocent corrupted.

  • Uneven execution but notable for its grimy practical effects and unsettling child-actor presence.
  • Perfect for fans of devil-child tropes like “The Omen” who want a grittier, direct-to-DVD flavor.
  • Leans heavily into apocalypse anxiety with its “Beginning of the End” framing—early 2000s paranoia meets biblical doom.
  • Not a polished thriller, but its earnest ambition and old-school devil lore will reward viewers craving raw genre grit.
