The First Omen - Let Me Explain

[@paperback_5819]

this movie is the exact same (but opposite) of Immaculate. Funny to have them in theaters simultaneously

[@broomstix1]

I watched them back to back and got so much whiplash lol

[@PukingPanda]

I watched immaculate first & then saw the trailer for the first omen & got so confused that they did a rerelease under a new name

[@looselipssinkships2323]

Minus like 3 key points , this is just a LONGER Immaculate. But I love both

The birth scene where the demonic hand was coming out of the Vagina was insanely terrifying! Saw this in theatres and my mouth dropped!!

[@joemacdonald6312]

It was dumb and not scary at all!

​@@joemacdonald6312 I worry about people like you. You just want stuff to be so horrifying and evil and awful, what is going on in your life? I worry about what it would take to actually scare you 🤦🏾

[@coffeebean_tamer]

No the demon hand coming out of that surrogate you know what had me biting my tongue and looking away.... the scarier part is having the women's face covered and not knowing what the demon looks like heavy breathing really triggered anxiety.

[@Vinsensee]

@@joemacdonald6312sir 😭😂 you are DESENSITIVED. This movie took something beautiful and from what I hear painful and for some terrifying they turned it on its head. They use theyre noggin. It had a point and it WAS disturbing and terrifying for some. Don’t be a toxic movie lover. We don’t like those.

[@b_rogue]

Okay, but The First Omen was genuinely such a good movie! I’m so glad I was able to experience watching it in the theater. I loved that it didn’t have an abundance of jump scares. It felt like they allowed a lot of the creepy scenes/moments and the actual horrific story to shine without needless loud noises paired with a figure jumping at the camera. My current favorite movie! 10/10, 1,000% would recommend

[@LucyLioness100]

I enjoyed it both times I saw it. I like they waited till the finale to use the classic Goldsmith theme

[@englishatheart]

Not really. It's just okay.

2:52 should calm everyone's gripes about Damien's mother being canonically a jackal. Even Richard Donner himself said the jackal violated his mother, which is what The First Omen shows us

[@LucyLioness100]

I honestly wasn’t bothered by it at all. The cult could’ve lied about which parent was a jackal

[@AshePBlack]

Exactly. It was a lie of jackal was just put there to make point. My big gripe is timeline. 1971 but 1971 in trilogy Damien is 32

They gave her the baby at the end because it was important for the child to be with the mother in its early moments after birth in real life. I was suprised they even trusted her with the baby after all of that. That was one of many of their dumb moves.

[@gabbar51ngh]

The original ( omen ) has always given me the creeps. I felt so sad for Demian; it was like a Roman tragedy, not important what that was his destiny He will become what he was born for. Then, the prequel ( first omen ) is given the same feeling you feel like something can be different, and the story can change but not.

Every cast of horror movies does that. They did that for the original Amityville Horror (James Brolin didn't believe the Lutzes yet claimed weird stuff happened in interviews for the movie), the cast of the Conjuring movies claimed weird stuff happened, etc.

I LOVED this movie. Interestingly, it shared the nearly the same exact premise as "Immaculate," a film that left me quite disappointed and I found to be rather subpar. However, "The First Omen" was genuinely impressive. It was visually stunning, and I absolutely loved the cinematography and camera angles.

It's a solidish prequel. i was curious on how'd they get to the 70's Omen from here...and how they do it...not too bad. This also had some similar story elements to Immaculate...I think this executed them better...it was pretty laughable in Immaculate.

[@YourMazzter1]

What's crazy is I did a double feature and saw The First Omen right after Immaculate not knowing much about The First Omens plot and the amount of Deja Vu was crazy but The First Omen def did it better

A problem with old horror movies is… they’re old. Sure, they’re creepy, but they’re dated. The cinematography, the effects, the essence of what’s ‘scary’ is all old. A movie that’s 40/50 years old is vastly different from a current film.

[@xxaddyrallxx]

that is completely untrue for some films. the original texas chainsaw massacre is still one of the creepiest films on the planet, the exorcist is still a brilliant film, original the hills have eye is filled with uneasy shots. hell, texas chainsaw massacre has shots that are referenced to this day, you can see the influence in X which was released in 2022. while i think that the original omen is decent and not as creepy as other movies today. yet, you could see its brilliance by how influential it is to modern day horror.

[@marieantoinettescake9513]

I can tell the OP did NOT grow up in the 70's & 80's at the height of excellent Horror Cinema. The entire atmosphere of The Omen from the music score, to the cinematography is completely psychological and spine chilling. Is it dated as in set in it's time?? Yes, it is. But then again so is "The First Omen". To me, there is NO difference. One was filmed in modern times set in 1971 and given literally the amber sepia tones .... And the other was the real deal from 1976.

MOVIES WERE SOO GOOD WHEN I WAS LITTLE...THIS MOVIE WAS SOO SCARY TO ME

[@Robert_Douglass]

I think there's precedent for Damien Thorne to have a sister. Revelation 12 tells a story about The Woman and the Dragon, where the Dragon (presumed to be Satan) pursues the Woman across the planet, but she's guided by God to a place preselected and prepared for her so she can take refuge and birth a son who will "rule the nations with an iron rod". From this it can be inferred that Damien's sister will be the mother of that ruler.

[@AppleFrogTomatoFace]

Nell she always looks so good in dark hair with simple clothes, like in this movie and the show servant. but, when you see her in interviews she is blonde and dressed very modern, and somehow doesn't match her lol. she doesn't even look like her. i mean i guess how she shows herself in interviews are probably her proper look, but still at least to me she looks more natural in dark hair with old fashion clothes.

I saw the first theatrical release of "The Omen," and even being Christian, thought it was great. The movie held true to most biblical "tropes," or I should say "visions" in the Revelation to The Apostle John.

They could do a sequel to this movie without touching the originals. There is info in the movies that could make good storylines. How about how did mrs. Baylock,Paul buhar, and Damiens aunt Ann all find their selves part of the plan. Were they seduced by satan? I think that even though its different motives the Satanists will collaborate with the crazy church that birthed the antichrist. They will be working together to rise him up. In a new movie stuff could be going in about Damien that has nothing to do with altering the original movie.

This movie also reveals that God and Satan work together on the same team. It's a huge truth drop that makes sense but most people cannot accept yet. Just like how "The Unholy" from 2021 showed that too. Even in the Bible, Isaiah 45:7 says that God creates both good and evil. They have to both exist for each other to exist, so God has to create both, just like how George Lucas has to create both good guys and bad guys in Star Wars or else it would suck.
