"Summoning an ancient evil to draw people back to the church in order to restore power" Right, when has that ever worked out?

@Spoopball 5 месяцев назад

In the show [supernatural], as the show gets on in seasons, it's revealed that angels are the "real" bad guys, as the bible clearly depicts the world being destroyed during Armageddon when lucifer fights Michael. There's even a faction of demons try to prevent the end of the world, as that would save Lucifer from being killed, but the Angel refuse to deviate from "God's plan" and do absolutely everything possible to release Lucifer and bring about end of the world, because they're all good soldiers and to question god's plan would be to lose faith entirely. It's kind of an interesting parallel/idea to see the concept of faith be corrupted.

@DaxSports1 4 месяца назад

That plot point wouldve been better if they just revealed that the catholic church was always an ancient order meant to bring about the resurrection of the antichrist. Rather than "Oh hey lets get Satan to scare everyone to come back to church!" But anyways thats just me lol😅

@DeathSithe92 4 месяца назад

@@DaxSports1 a simple "Its foretold in the bible that it will happen so we must stand aside and allow it to happen, else we are going directly against god's will" type interpretation would have been good, them not being evil so much as them lacking action even though they know evil is about to come into the world because in their eyes its a "necessary" evil so the plan of god is done.

Actually, I thought the direction was horrible. There are so many scenes that take forever to get through. Incredibly slow pans and then blackness that takes forever to see the reveal. Also, when Margaret is on the street corner and her pregnancy instantly evolves, what is this endless psychotic "dance" she's doing? Why did that take so long? I could take a bathroom break and come back and it would still be going.

I went in prepared to hate it, but I was pleasantly surprised at how invested I got. The acting is excellent (particularly Nell Tiger Free and Ralph Inseon), the music by Mark Korven creepy as he knows how, the climax is definitely bonkers and uncomfortable to watch. My only real negative is it’s not that scary, but that didn’t really bother me as I felt more like it was harnessing what made the ‘76 original spooky being more psychological than all boo-scares. Plus I like they waited until the climax to finally use Jerry Goldsmith’s iconic ‘Ave Satani’; though the little touches of the theme to Damien: Omen 2 was a treat if you pay attention to the score

The motive behind the evil plot in this movie is so stupid but realistic at the same time. "We shall make people turn to God, and we're gonna do the most unholy and evil thing in Christianity in order to do it!" They have a seemingly noble religious cause, but they're willing to work towards it at the cost of violating their own religious laws and killing innocents. It's so immoral and idiotic, but it makes sense because that's what we've seen from religious institutions time and time again, *especially* the Catholic Church.

I think this review is too severe. The constraints were realized in that one has to connect to the original Omen. But the weaknesses are it's too derivative of the Omen? I think what makes this movie really good is the following of the unreliable narrator. The director really gets the audience to feel the sense of madness, powerlessness, and desperation of the protagonist. The review is right about the parallels to Rosemary's Baby. People in the comments who also mention Hereditary are also correct in that comparison, I believe. If you understand that the first omen is the woman and not really the baby, then the brilliance of the direction of The First Omen shines through. The horror is being the poor woman who in the end is the most abused. I was impressed by the film and recommend it highly, especially if you've seen any of The Omen sequels and are expecting similar quality. This movie is way better than it had any right to be.

@AshePBlack 4 месяца назад

My big gripe is timeline. It was good movie, I thought jackal stuff was fine not even retcon if really pay attention but in Damien trilogy Damien is 32 in 1971. And also being it's a fictitious cult, the reality is cults have existed throughout history so... Movie could have worked set some more years in past. And if you bump up the Damien trilogy it would work because apparently ppl got more sinful over time so either which way but again the year mess up is so distracting

Clearly this was done just to be able to make alternative sequels ignoring Omen 2 and 3. 4) Having the good guys survive. The great thing about the Omen series is that all the good guys die. However I was happy that the ending takes it straight into beginning The Omen from 1976 and that the setting was 1971 which, again, ties in perfectly with the original film.

Watched it a couple of days ago, finally a decent horror movie, without stupid jumpscares and predictability, it was for the most part well thought out, but it looks like the prequel is gonna need a pre sequel? They left a lot of things unanswered, seemingly to be continued, which might not be such a good idea, you can't exactly create a franchise out of prequels of an already finished story.

@AshePBlack 4 месяца назад

What needs to be explained. There is a genre of horror that's quite decent without over explanation. Fear Street for one and all classics before over did it with sequels. Oh goosebumps books are in it too. Monsters just cuz monsters exist, and it works. Lots goosebumps books are better than most horror movies. in a nutshell omen has a mutant jackal that mated with a girl to make antichrist. There was a cult. Now good movies sometimes get ideas from real life but beyond general vague satanism it's bad luck to pull too much realism in

I wish you would have been more straightforward with saying how you dislike the concept of horror prequels. Yes they could have gotten more creative with the title, or even left its connection to the original 1976 Omen film as a surprise twist up until the end. It wasn't a perfect horror film, but I appreciated how they made the creative decision to not constantly rely on loud music, jump scares and the overusage of gore to tell this horror story. Compared to the sequels and remake that also previously came out, this was by far the best installment of the franchise since the original film.

The First Omen was a solid, scary time at the movies and served as a good prequel to one of my favorites, the ‘76 original. I found myself disturbed often, sucked into the performances, and digging all the vibes. It felt classic. It felt like Rosemary’s Baby lol which is a great thing. The cinematography and sound design really worked to create this dread. I really liked all of that. My biggest beef was with the kills I guess. They didn’t work for me and were totally too derivative of the original. There’s really not much justification for them, besides fan-service … Otherwise I was impressed with just about everything else they did with the movie and I really cannot wait to see if they pick it up with a sequel? That could be fire.

Haha, after flipping through your summary I was more than a little amused to hear such deep critiques of this well-crafted and very effective film especially as you, somehow, negatively compare to the likes of Immaculate and Late Night with the Devil. Don't quite get your taste, but it's the wrong way around for me. Can't recommend The First Omen enough, a movie that seemed to only be fumbled by the studio marketing team and now, you.

So are we just IGNORING what the original three films established? That Damion's mother was a JACKAL?! This is why I was worried when I saw they were doing a prequel...and low and behold, once again Hollywood tampers with established cannon. The jackal in the grave. Damion's blood mirroring that of a jackal. Damion confirming this in the third film, how he was born of a Jackal. I was always curious as to how the above happened, what rituals were conducted. Instead we get the predictable twist that comes at the end with all of the above mentioned getting thrown out the window.

@icemav5740 5 месяцев назад

@will_cashgrow2294 5 месяцев назад

@icemav5740 thats how life is...what you heard is usually different from what really happened. It makes more sense to me. This movie is like it revealed the real story on what happened. He was born of a Jackel technically just the rest of the story is different and unknown to even Damion himself. He just went by what he heard. As most people that was only raised being told apart of a story and that's all they know

THIS MOVIE WAS SO DISTURBING IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE! THIS MOVIE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED FOR SEVERAL OSCARS IN MY OPINION! BEST ACTRESS FOR THE YOUNG LADY WHO PLAYS MARGARET. BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY. BEST SCORE. BEST DIRECTOR. THIS MOVIE FREAKED ME RIGHT THE FUG OUT! I think that Stevenson is a brilliant director. I will definitely be keeping my eye out for her in the future! The cinematography and the score was haunting to say the least and the young woman Nell who plays Margaret was fantastic! She had to go to so many places that I haven't seen an actress go to in a few good years. This is probably the best horror movie I have seen in a good 5 years! My jaw was on the floor for about 30 minutes straight! May God Bless You.

I didn't like some aspects of this film, mainly the plot hole of how the hell did the church got control of a jackal, how easily is disposed off, the idiocy of the main character at pivot moments in the story and the retcon of Damien's mother. Other than that, it has good moments (especially the birthing scene).

I’m 30, I remember my one brothers sixth birthday was 6/06/06 and my other younger brother and I kept telling him the night before satan was gonna come for him and in the morning my brother and I woke him up with my fake blood zombie Halloween costume stuff I had left over from the year before. I did it because I loved the og omen movies. I’m glad this prequel was chefs kiss and not disappointing

A series of films I would like to see done and done right is the story of Revelations and the end of days. Over a 3 film series I’d like to see the Bible’s true version of how things end how those left behind cope and survived and how things get better on the other side. I’d like to see through the eyes of we humans as well as on the divine battles between angels and demons with the third film having the final battle between Lucifer and the arch angel Micheal. Then actually show humanity turned back to God when Jesus returns to his earthly kingdom.

@KirkOrion666 5 месяцев назад

Often times,horror as a genre,is used to tell of the times and the state of the world it is made in. Like a proverbial mirror put up to reflect at its audience things we might not want to face or deal with. From what I take, The First Omen speaks of those in power who create problems in order to then after bring solutions to said issues,making them pass for heroes and righteous in the eyes of the masses. Not unlike to concept of the 'pyromaniacal fireman'... dark and sinister indeed !

I was forbidden the omen growing up for religion reasons and barely watched it in my 40s from the start Very interesting concept Wish I could have seen it back then The dialogue and incidents from the first and second one I enjoyed I kind of got bored around omen 4. This first omen is very good so far

The summoning of the Anti-Christ thing wasn’t explained that well tbh. Would had been more interesting if the nut jobs wanted to initiate the apocalypse with Damian’s birth (the antichrist is a part of the apocalypse). Tbh the apocalyptic/doomsday thing is more of an American Evangelical/Fundamentalist Protestant thing anyways.

@@billmcdermott9647 I think that was just to give a familiar face connecting it to the original film by having the protagonist’s picture make an appearance.
