THE FIRST OMEN (Origin of the Antichrist) EXPLAINED

[@brentgrisier1738]

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

[@Spoopball]

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]

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]

@@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.

[@stiffjabzz4237]

Makes you wonder who came up with this ?

[@killerjoke2945]

You have to keep in mind, that was just Fr Brennan's theory. He shared that to Margaret without seeing the documents or any deeper investigations at all. There might still be a much bigger reasoning to it that isn't divulged by the bad guys at all.

[@bghiggy]

You can tell the cinematographer cared deeply about this movie. It had some absolutely gorgeous scenes. When she wakes up after the club scene and her hair is carefully spread out around her head in a circle and even in front of her neck so it perfectly frames her face. *chefs kiss

[@Fizbin1701]

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

[@EliteBadFrog]

I didn’t get how the church got a hold of this weird beast that Margaret had to mate with. I found it to be a big plothole.

[@razielduckett3168]

That's what I question too? Found it weird on how was it created? Or it was summoned , who knows?

I want them to explore this in a future movie. The group made a pact with the devil. However they came across the animal it was normal but became a vessel for Satan and that's why it looked different. HOw they conjured Satan and this process I need to see. Also I want to see a full pic of the jackal from the movie. Was never really shown but a shadow as it was burning.

I think it was as a normal jackal that changed after it became Satan's vessel . or perhaps it was summoned.

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.

[@YSEternal_]

Exactly. They even point that out how crazy it is in the movie but it's justified and actually makes sense in its own ridiculous way lol

[@princyjoseph2729]

That's the lie they want the others to believe .. but actually they are only working for the devil... When the Antichrist comes his only intent is to take as many souls as possible to hell.

My heart was racing during the birthing scene toward the end

[@Ms-er1bq]

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]

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

[@yogisie]

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It was dropping in 70's suspense and dread. Easily the best Omen film since the original. The ending does leave me with questions, though.

[@AshePBlack]

​@@josealvarez9904I can't agree more. Although we don't know if they will skip over girl just like they skipped over Delia. Damien had a son and daughter those were twins but daughter was born first, carried brothers egg till somebody else had him. Delia had no 666 birthmark shown but doesn't mean didn't. She had powers but when Alexander was born she submitted. Alexander had the birthmark on hand. That and Margaret and Carlita weren't over special unless count breeding capacity.

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]

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

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.

I actually enjoyed, and the last horror movie I enjoyed was Halloween kills. I'm excited for the next film

[@johannbachmann4532]

That movie was off da chain.

[@glennwalker9073]

Certainly hope this is the beginning of a reboot of the franchise...

[@lyssamora]

can we talk about how every woman in this movie was insanely gorgeous

[@RoadmanRob8]

No. This is not how Damien was born. In the book his mum was a jackal. The truth in the book is more horrific than this film. Father brenhan has a big part in it all in a very bad way

[@yelrahkcorb]

Is there a new microphone used for this video or something? I noticed his voice changed.

The idea of summoning the anti-christ to increase church attendance is equal parts interesting and stupid. Not the plot but the thought of it being a good idea.

[@ashleywalker1411]

And artificial intelligence's intentions are in any way benevolent?

[@kenw7287]

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.

@VRebis like the Jewish Kabbalist? You could say it about any religion.

[@MarioSoprano-io5gw]

This is a modern scary movie (even though it’s yet another remake) that actually had extremely disturbing imagery.

[@DRACOFURY]

That's a Cool Thumbnail

[@MyzoryMaiq]

[@Geraldo_Rivian]

I thought i had seen all great hororr movies... How d hell did i miss 6 movies of this franchise?😮

[@Gear_teen]

Could you also do an explained video of the Fallout show? And your review on it

[@KirkOrion666]

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 !

[@blakester3043]

I can see individuals not familiar with the original film viewing The First Omen as a negative narrative towards the Catholic Church

[@ashleywalker1411]

You should know by now, how it goes way beyond the Catholic Church.

[@JamesWilson9777]

can anyone explain who the bald priest is in the visions margaret has?

[@jeremyyoung4383]

Maybe a hot take: Better than Immaculate. Immaculate is scary like a brick through a window or a car accident. First Omen is scary like an alcoholic insisting on driving home, or watching a vehicle slowly fill with water.

[@chichiboypumpi]

but isn’t in the OG Omen damien was born on 6-6-66 at 6 am not in the 70s?

[@simonmills3417]

6th June 1971 at 6am which when the film set then it jumps 5 years to 1976 when it was released, the 3 6s 6 day, 6 month 6 am

[@TheStinalee201120]

The movie had 2 Lannisters from Game of Thrones 😂❤❤
