WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM The First Omen - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH

  • Essential viewing for fans of The Omen franchise

    "The First Omen is the first film in The Omen franchise in decades to capture the spirit of the original series. It succeeds in its tricky task of fitting into the series seamlessly and is a believable prequel to the 1976 original. However, the movie also manages to stand well on its own through the fantastic performance of Nell Tiger Free, its genuinely frightening premise, and its intriguing commentary on feminity and reproductive rights. The First Omen breathes new life into The Omen franchise and holds much appeal to modern fans of religious horror movies."
