The First Omen" is a chilling and atmospheric horror film that effectively pays homage to the original which came out in 1976 while presenting a fresh and unsettling perspective, with standout performances and direction that will leave viewers on edge. The film's atmosp...
It was alright. Not bad, but definitely not as good as previous omens. I think main problem was that first of all it was too stretched into 2 hours and almost whole movie was happening in once place - nunnery and basically movie lacked scenes in other places, which made...

The film does have moments of visual flair, with certain scenes show...
Why does the modern horror community settle for such mediocrity in film making? Don't be so lazy and settle for the usual unfulfilling, stereo typical Hollywood dreck such as this. There are so many fantastic indie horror movies being made out there.
"The First Omen" approaches the whole franchise in much the same way as George Lucas did with his "Star Wars" prequels (1999-2005). Lucas took some ideas which had only been hinted at in the dialogue and then he simply expanded upon them. The "Omen" film which emerges h...
