(Live) Dangerously (R) "We 've had two strange deaths here today your brother at a construction site and a preacher of snake bites. "It's been a bad day. Someone in Omen IV: The Awakening (tomorrow night at 8 on Chs. 10, 13). It's got omens-o-plenty but God (or his archrival) only knows why they call it The Awakening.

Long before anyone in this made-in-Vancouver TV movie wakes up to the fact Mr. Antichrist is kicking off a world domination tour a spontaneous lunar eclipse accompanies the adoption of the Omen baby; at her baptism, the Omen baby screams like Sam Kinison; inverted crosses and hysterical nuns turn up everywhere except on Oprah; a suspicious nanny does a Greg Louganis impression from the top-floor window of Omen child's home. And when someone does wake up to the fact the daughter (Asia Vieira) of a popular politician (Michael Woods) and his jittery wife (Faye Grant) is a few sandwiches short of a picnic got a psycho daughter there, senator!" he utters tactfully), well his insight is rewarded by having his smartass head separated from his all-too-mortal body. But, hey, as they say in the Omen biz: It's been a bad day. All sound a little silly? It is.

The original 1976 Omen had its less-than-credible moments but it delivered its share of thrills and chills as well. Omen IV: The Awakening never takes itself that seriously. The only scary thing about this Fox Network incarnation is the script. Nothing new here is added to the Omen mythology except to make the Prince of Darkness a Princess of Darkness. And Vieira, a Toronto native, is the only lively presence in this campy, unintentionally funny sequel.

Vieira's evil Delia (try to say that quickly) can strike a malevolent, opaque-eyed glare of imminent doom with the best of them. Otherwise, viewers have little to get worked up about here except anticipate the next obligatory "freak accident." Freak accidents are the splattering lifeblood of any Lee Bacchus Television Omen movie, but here they disappoint. Snake bites, a wrecker's ball, a double-gainer out a window, a spontaneous heart attack. Nothing any self-respecting Czar of the Underworld couldn't conjure on his coffee break. If you want spine-tingling r.isr.-.-i liwTTfW I Omen child Asia Vieria.

gross-out paralytic fear and loathing, well, you have to turn to the dialogue in Omen IV. In one scene, Grant visits a priest to confide her growing suspicions about her daughter. "Isn't the Antichrist always spoken of as Grant asks. "The Bible didn't mean to be sexist," says the priest. "Mankind can also mean womankind." Whoa! Now there's a revelation! In a Fox Network press package for Omen IV, producer Harvey Bernhard says this about why the Omen mythology persists: "I believe there are positive and negative neutrons in the universe.

If there's good, there's evil. If there were no death, no one would know what life would be. There'd be no poetry." Or profits.
