The First Omen Review | Spoiler Free + Spoiler Filled Thoughts 

I feel like the first omen is this year’s SAWX, no one expected a prequel from a legacy franchise with some terrible sequels to be so good. I’m debating whether this is my number 1 or number 2 so far this year

One of my favorite horror movies to come out in recent years. I’d love a sequel with Nell Tiger Free returning as well as Arkasha Stevenson

Thanks for the in-depth review of this new horror gem. I saw it opening night, and there were only about 10 people in the auditorium. I really liked how the 70s were captured, with the color grading, clothes, disco music. etc. You commented once or twice on Catholicism, and as a Catholic and someone who also only did a year of Catholic school, the depiction or use of Catholicism in horror movies often works because Catholicism is a litty creepy and scary, especially if you figure in all of the child abuse. Most of my family have stopped going to Catholic mass because they can't separate the positive parts of attending mass ( fellowship, worship) from the heinous things that the Church has condoned. That being said, the writer/ director did a stellar job on this sequel, and in a perfect world, Nell Tiger Free would be getting an Oscar nomination about 8 or 9 months from now.

This gonna be my comfort movie before good dreams every night, 10/10 movie 🎉🎉🎉😌🙌

I’m guilty as charged with not seeing the first omen yet 😮 I should be hexed lol but it like you said, so many great movies are in theaters this year! It’s gearing up to be a pretty good year for movies this year and particularly horror! I recently checked out monkey man and wow dev Patel is our newest action star fr fr!! So awesome that he directed it too! So impressive! Love the background, good thing your friends abroad got you covered with the ambience! I remember telling you I saw immaculate so I get all of the comparisons and similarities. I guess I just liked that it wasn’t tied to a franchise but maybe thats not a bad thing anymore. I too wasn’t the biggest fan of the omen franchise but I’m glad to hear that this new movie is doing really well! I assume it’s connected to the original ‘76 film and not like the remake or anything so it’ll be trippy seeing a modern prequel for a horror classic. Hearing about the protest scenes reminds me a bit of the og exorcist and confirms my feeling that those franchises kinda influence each other Thank you daughter of satan for keeping your subjects fed with what we’re missing and I know your father is proud of all the souls you’ve claimed!

I never dreamed I’d be saying this when it was announced but it’s my favourite horror of the year so far…followed by Immaculate…Stopmotion…and Late night with the devil. Great review

I totally get what you're trying to say about some of the basic horror element stuff being predictable, but what shocked me about this film was how well-executed/visually gorgeous the jump scares truly were-. Also, it's kinda crazy to think that The Nun II had slightly more of a budget than The First Omen. Would love do see you and Sweet N' Spooky do a compare and contrast spoiler-y review of Immaculate vs The First Omen, and how both your feelings about Immaculate changed (or didn't change) after seeing The First Omen.

I first saw Nell Tiger Free in a horror show called Servant on Apple TV, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, also starring Rupert Grint. Excellent show and one of my favorites to rewatch!! It is a true Shyamalan horror and a beautiful atmospheric masterpiece. I think it might be my favorite work of his. It was also refreshing to see Rupert get the screen time he deserves, that man is a true talent!!

This is the first video I’ve ever seen of yours and one particular sentence you said in this video just made me a subscriber for life 😭😭 I stannnn

Nell Tiger Free is queen in 'Servant'; a bonkers horror show

OUR QUEEN RETURNSSS

I loved your energy in reviewing and this is the first time that I have seen a full review. Looking forward to many more reviews from you 😊

Ah, that explains the horrendous weather over here. You've brought the darkness over with you. Just waiting for the raining frogs anyday now as you move closer to the north. Begone, foul witch, said no-one never about Kylie. Loves your bones. ❤️

she returns with the new background! 😱

SPOILER… it was a fun surprise seeing baby haunted hippie in this movie, I didn’t realize you were twin lol but seriously, I saw this movie in 35 mm when it first came out, and that was a fun time

I actually might give this one a look as I weirdly hadn't heard much from this movie. Thanks for the review! Also hope you're enjoying yourself and staying safe on your Europe trip!

I was very surprised by the high quality of the movie. The plot is fine, the lead actress is terrific at portraying the protagonit, the film is beautifully shot. A lot of heart was put to it. As far as profit goes maybe the Omen will break even after all if not too much was spend on marketing. I am also very curious about Stevenson's next movie. She is a young and looks like a very promising director.

Just watched The First Omen. It looked beautiful, the lighting was amazing and the acting was great. Thats all I can say about it to be honest.

I've been a fan of the original 1976 movie for 40 years. I've visited the London locations and met some cast members over the decades, all now sadly deceased. Aside from Damien (Harvey Stephens) himself, who I had a couple of beers with. I do like The First Omen, due to its tone and I love how it has that desaturated 1970s movie look. HOWEVER, They actually have damaged The Omen, in that they disregarded some of the finer details. *See below...* In the 1976 movie, Father Brennan had been an Apostate of the Devil. He had 666 on his inner thigh (seen in an autopsy photo) and he was involved in the plot to bring about the birth of the Anti-Christ. He had also been present at Damien's birth. None of those details were adhered to in The First Omen. Also, Damien was born to a female Jackal, not to a woman impregnated by a male Jackal. We also saw the the grave in The Omen of a *Maria* Scianna, not Margaret Scianna. The grave had the remains of a Jackal in it, next to a grave containing Robert Thorn's murdered child.

I’m so surprised at how much I enjoyed this movie. I really liked the ending actually cause now the 70s Omen exist and we can make a sequel to that movie with these characters and Damien but maybe as a teen or something.

SPOILERS!!!! *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Also little unintentional(?) easter egg- when Margaret is at Father Brennan’s with the other guy and they grab her when she’s freakin out after the 666 reveal, she lets out a very Samara Weaving signature scream lol

ill be back for spoilers. my bud has already been hounding me to see this and now you’re rec’ing it too!! surprised by how hype this seems. rad!! ill have to peep it asap. I do have a day off tm… could be a first omen/monkey man double feature for me- gotta love red posters with figures silhouetted in a doorway lmaoo damn comparisons to possession (1981)?!! bet!!! also glad you came around to 70’s horror, it was an era of experimentation and breaking the rules- some of those elements really hit, some hit different nowadays. inspiring nonetheless!! also whoever’s room your shooting in is dope!! so hype to hear you champion good modern cinema, it always gasses me up!! 🔥🔥🔥

Another one i enjoyed. Not sure why this and IMMACULATE weren’t in theatres longer

0:15 2:25 Beagle!!! 🐶❤ my favorite type of dogs. 🕷️

I was shocked how good it was ...also I love Black Christmas it's incredible.

Were a little late on this here in Europe but its one of the best horror movies ive seen !

@18:00 I never seen a nun party before 😂😂

12:10 yes that feels right.

I’ve been waiting for your review of this as I loved the movie, and also love your channel. So glad you liked it as much as I did by the sounds of it, also hope you’re having a good time over here in the UK :)

She shows her versatility also in "Servant". I enjoyed it, especially the esthetic and acting, curious if you could watch it and provide your feedback.

The First Omen is definitely a great movie. Not your grandfather’s Omen for sure. It’s currently at $35 Million at the box office. So at best, 20th Century Studios will at least break even and hopefully do even better with streaming and DVD releases. Hope to see a sequel in the future.

Ok now I can watch the rest of this video. By request from Haunted hippie I went out to see the movie today. I was very good. Glad I got to see it in the theater. Makes me want to watch the original The Omen and maybe the other movies too. 🙂👍

I wasn't a big fan of the first omen. To me they took elements that would've been more in line with Rosemary's baby. I will say that all the actors were great and the film looks amazing. I also found it way too slow and then wasn't a huge fan of the random jump scares they threw in. I didn't really think they needed the "it's all for you" scene in this movie it felt pointless to me and then they use the same nun for that other scene where she comes out of the dark. I liked the whole twin sister anti antichrist possibility since it's definitely a way to get more sequels. I however did not like the change of Damian being born from a jackal to instead being conceived by the church's dungeon sex demon(again stuff that would've worked better in Rosemary's baby). Overall I just don't feel like this film was for me but at least we have something bew to send people back to the original. Watching first omen has me wanting to rewatch omen 3 which I probably woul have revisited otherwise.

Hopefully now the stigma of prequels will be no more. First Omen, Orphan First Kill and Saw X in particular have shown prequels can be great 👍🏼😃

(SpongeBob time card) Four months later… I finally watch both immaculate and the first omen so I can see the first omen have more of a upper hand than immaculate and it’s directed by a female director who know the serious Stuff! But I’m a guy, so both of these movies are good for me. Nell Tiger Free definitely fits my female villain character with her mean face. 🐶 Alien Romulus is the winner for birth horror films than both immaculate and the first omen! Hehe 😅

AMAZING movie, best of the 2024 so far. I love the production , the music, the performances.

I love the original 1976 movie. It's the atmosphere and the way they approached it in a real world scenario. The deaths were freak accidents yet we as the viewer know there's a sinister force at play. The photography played a significant role in it too with the discrepancy's that were similar to how the victims die, hence being prophetic for what is a prophecy from a story in the bible. You've got Robert Thorne, a man with everything, American ambassador, happily married, clearly has wealth, and his whole life spirals out of control in front of his eyes over this child. He finds out they killed his first born to plant Damien. They then kill his wife. This leads him to believing everything he's been told by Father Brennan and Bugenhagen towards the end. Then, Robert having to come to terms and the realisation that he has to kill a child on hallowed ground. Father Brennan, played brilliantly by Patrick Troughton comes across as an unhinged ranting and raving mad man which is backed up by the fact that he's pumped full of morphine because he's riddled with cancer, yet everything he said was true. He also knew Mrs. Thorne was pregnant when Robert didn't. Let's not forget the animals freaking out at the sight of Damien, him freaking out at the church, The Nanny killing herself on his 5th birthday, and the planting of Mrs. Baylock as the new nanny who was clearly part of the cult. And Damien at the end with the president of the United States of America, now that was ominous, with his little smile. As for the prequel, I really enjoyed it. Whatever about the mother in this against what we were lead to believe in the original, I wish they had done something similar with what they had done with the rottweillers in the original to add to the depravity of what they were doing to bring about the birth of the antichrist. Just a short snippet of an actual jackal. This would have added to that real world scenario that they done so well in the original. My only gripe in the first omen was Father Brennan, don't get me wrong, it was played brilliantly by Ralph Ineson, but the continuity of the character in relation to the original felt off. In the original, Father Brennan claimed he was at the birth, so, for the prequel, where was he when Damien was being born??? And what about Father Brennan also having the mark of the beast on his inner thigh???

#1 you are gorgeous! #2. I really enjoyed The First Omen!! also even though i'm not Catholic I went to a Catholic elementary school & the head nun had a tarantula tattoo on her hand lol i always wondered about that

I liked this movie as a prequel it made more sense the way this movie told it than how the original story told it. Its more practical. Because how does a canine have a human child out its womb 🤔🙄

Definitely one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in a while. Felt original despite being a very unoriginal plot. Beautiful shots and amazing performances. Nell tiger deserves an Oscar for sure!

Thought it was decent I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised , not perfect but I actually wouldn’t mind seeing more but I honestly wouldn’t mind to see where they go with it unfortunately people aren’t showing up for it .

I’ve only seen the original, but cult queen Kylie has convinced me to see this film! Great video as always!

if we count this as cannon does that mean we have to acknowledge that the ...fox tv movie omen 4 the awakening alleged sequel to the final conflict is cannon now hope not

What Kind of Music are you into? I like your videos, thank you.

Wait, it’s no shocker that Damien has a twin. It was you the whole time! I’m beyond pumped for The First Omen, I’m planning on saving up my paychecks for when it starts playing at my local theater. Do you think I should take an edible before I watch it? Weird question, I know.

I saw this with my mom last Tuesday. We both really enjoyed it. I also had to pee but held it. I was so uncomfortable for like the last hour, but I stayed. Last movie we saw ( Saw X) I went to pee and missed a whole scene. I went after Diego's test and missed most of the others getting kidnapped. I can't help it, I get so thirty. But, I digress. Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I might like it better than Saw X. I don't know both were great. The lead actress in this was stellar. I had never seen her before. Enjoyed your review.

Interesting point about teeth. One of the biggest complaints about the Taylor Sheridan Western period piece ‘1883’ series was the “Super White Perfect Teeth” of the actors. Everything in the production was period authentic but the “teeth”.

I saw first omen for free and I thought it was pretty good. It surprised me how good it was

This is gonna sound stupid, but bear with me. This feels like a horror equivalent to Puss in Boots the Last Wish. Continuations/additions of a long finished series that completely blow expectations. I don't really like The Omen despite its good elements like the score and scenes like the birthday party so I was dismissive of this at first. Eventually I opened up to it and just saw it and thoroughly love it. Going off what you were saying about Nell's teeth I really appreciated seeing Sonia Braga in this who's a very famous Brazilian actress that clearly didn't juice her face up in botox and fillers. Its beautiful to see a mature woman as she is. As a Possession fan when people were starting those comparisions I was like "oh really?". And it was great and didn't feel derivative, nor did the callbacks to the original Omen feel derivative either. I would definitely see this movie again and probably will buy it.

Kylie thank you for telling us the Omen movie (2024)Review in spoiler

I've gone 3 times to see this, it freaks me out so much I love it! Can't stop thinking about it. Such a refreshing movie

The movie is the surprise of the year so far, saw it twice. Great performances, effects, and cinematography. 8/10 for me

I went to see this film as a birthday treat. It was great! I enjoyed the loud satanic soundtrack also.

Family and friends : hi tiago how ar … Me : NELL TIGER FOR BEST ACTRESS OF THE YEAR. honestly I agree with how much I loved that these people looked like they belonged to the 70s and also with BlumHouse , although speak no evil literally looks like a shot for shot remake , at least it seems like they shot in Europe .

**SPOILER** - So what about the scene in the 1976 Omen where they dig up the grave? Is there not a continuity problem? I really liked the movie but for some reason, I'm hung up on this thought.

Do you have any interest in seeing Abigail?

*NEW SUB*... not gonna lie i started watching your vid because your hot (yes i know im not suppose to say your beautiful) anyway.... but im staying (subbing) because you're pretty entertaining and you know your stuff!!.... Btw your intro are so funny, you didn't wear it in this vid but you know that the inverted cross puts JC closing to your heart and it gives him a "better chance" of looking out for you!!!..... and i wont start with S4T4N cause like 99.99% of ppl he's NOT who you think he his!!!

Hell yeah I agree on everything

70 s and 80 s horror will always be the best. Hands Down

Well you'll be proud to know that I watched the movie twice in theaters. Opening weekend and the second weekend 😎I liked it a lot 8/10 for me

Not really a fan of the franchise but this release was decent,I really liked the cinematography and acting 💪.

Glad you enjoyed the film. I loved it too. Have a safe stay in Europe 😊❤

I saw it today and hollywood finally succeeded creeping me out bc this movie is so gnarly, disturbing and shocking with it's scary Score too, and i really thought Clarita's story became unnecessary after z twist so what was z point of letting z audience wonder what's with her before z twist pops up 🤔

The plot of Immaculate reminds me of Shin Megami Tensei 2, where Tokyo was waiting and waiting for the Messiah and got tired of waiting, so they just made one artificially. Haha But yes, The First Omen is incredible. I'm glad I'm not crazy for thinking the lead actress deserves an award for THAT performance.

Loooove your make up.

"Possession" fans lost their damn minds Watching this, I'll guarantee you that

I wasn't expecting much from this to be honest, mostly due to the terrible almost shot-for-shot remake of The Omen. So I'm very glad to see this getting good reviews. I think I actually prefer the second film out of the original trilogy, but they're all pretty entertaining.

I’ll have to finish this video after I see this movie tomorrow. I’ve been commanded by Haunted Hippie to go see it and us maggots have to obey. 🧐😜🙂

You were checking the clock in the theatre..🤳😔

Yeah it was real good... beautiful cinematography and haunting disturbing scenes!!! Sooo demonic!!!👿👿👹👹👺👺

So the First Omen is actually worth it? Good, lemme drag this boy to see it 😂. Hopefully he's gonna enjoy horror.... if not imma kick him out 😂😂. Love you girly!!!

According to Box Office Mojo it's made just north of $35 million WW (as of this comment) on a $30 million budget. Sucks that it probably won't break even, but not every great movie is a hit at the BO. Long term, people are going to appreciate it a lot more. Nell Tiger Free is a fantastic actress and Arkasha Stevenson has a bright future as a director. P.S. Check out Servant. Nell is really good in that.

🎭🎆⚡️

I think ive just come to the realization that religious horror truly doesnt do it for me. Becauee everhone loved this and i thought it was okay. Shocking? Yeah but idk

I barely know anything about The Omen, the series, the shows, the lore, or anything. I can confirm this movie requires NO knowledge of the series to enjoy and understand it. Movie still slapped.

I went to Lutheran school and they washed my mouth out with soap.

Possible spoilers: While I absolutely agree that they should have just taken out that younger male priest and the burned nun screaming at her, for me the moment in that scene where she was locked in the room telling herself “it’s not real” over and over and then someone else whispers “what’s not real?” was very memorable. They did a great job building tension with the creature moving in the dark too. It was all just shot so well, but maybe they still could have worked that in a different way that didn’t need the priest to rescue her. Either way, I’m so excited to see what Arkasha Stephenson does next!

is religious horror making a surprising comeback? i guess we’ll see !! 👀

can i get you a bucket of blood to drink from my evil queen of the dark side when the academy's snuffed out the Jack Nicolson's performance from the Shining that's when i stopped watching the academy shows they dont do horror back in 1981 or 80

This movie started out as a slow burn for me, I loved how they paced this movie, and built the story and characters in this movie. This was really well acted, really well written and the final act paid off huge for me. I was very impressed with this movie. 8.5 out of 10. I'm glad I watched this.

The protagonist and her roommate were not nuns yet- they were novices(nuns in training). Novices and priest candidates can get pretty wild especially as they get close to the end of their training. It almost a given that before they take their vows, they are going to get everything out of their system.

SPOILERS AHEAD..... The First Omen is well made & acted, though a little slow & disjointed in the first 40 minutes, but my biggest problem with it is the way it breaks the lore / continuity of the original Omen. In the original Father Brennan goes to Thorn to try to atone for his role in Damien's birth & placing him with the Thorn family. In The First Omen, he's trying to thwart Damine's birth the entire time. An even bigger issue is that in The Omen Damien is born of a Jackal, which Thorn & the reporter Jennings, find the bones of in the graveyard alongside the bones of Thorn's actual son. Damien is not born of a human woman, as seen in the First Omen. Also if Damine's twin sister, a dumb idea to start with, isn't inherently evil then why are we to assume Damien is & must be destroyed? On top of that, the notion that this secret society's plan to birth the Antichrist is an attempt to bring people back to God / The Church is dumb.

I did NOT like this movie sadly

One of THE worst movies I've ever seen. As bad as Exorcist Believer, Exorcist 2, the 2 Exorcist prequels and worse than the last 3 Halloween movies. Late night with the Devil was får superior on a much smaller budget. Even Immaculate was marginally better. But not by much. A truly dreadful movie😊.. Not even the cinematography and locations could save it.

Kylie… you love M Night’s work… Haven’t you ever watched Servant? She’s the lead in Servant and the best thing about that show. Also his daughter worked on the show with him and her movie is coming up soon. You might not love it… It’s not his best work but she’s incredible in it. Also Rupert Grint was great in it.
