One of my favorite moments in the entire movie was her silently floating down that hallway. No music, no jumps, just a creepy as shit visual

[@rockbusterproductions]

This is a great example of a film that uses it's budget to it's upmost benefit. They don't use it on big star power or over the top special effects, but instead use it for authentic production design and disturbing practical effects. This really brings you into the time period, and it never lets you go.

Shocking how good this was. The main actress was really carrying this movie.

[@meg-k-waldren]

My favorite part was the 3rd act plot twist that was telegraphed from min. 5 of the movie. My 2nd favorite part was the Lady Gaga Bad Romance dance impression in the 3rd act. So good. Walk walk fashion baby work it move that bit cra-ayzy.

[@imaneightiesbaby]

That scene outside of the hospital was a direct homage to Possession (1981). Completely agree with you about the 'twist', by the way ​@meg-k-waldren

[@TheZarr]

The movie rested on Nell Tiger Free to deliver a spectacular performance and she carried. The score was also a big plus, it made scenes more unsettling. Hopefully they remake the rest of the series in its twist.

I was expecting this film to be mediocre. And I think after seeing it my mind was changed so fast. I loved it, and it is in the top five of 2024 for horror right now in my eyes. I know I’m going to have to rewatch this again to rewatch it. It’s sad the horror doesn’t get recognized by the Oscars, even the cinematography should get a nomination or something.

[@2bemyownman200]

Yea bruh i agree about the ending. Shoulda ended it 10 mins early

[@roymahendran8494]

This was a great horror film. As a standalone film it was great. Perhaps those questions about connecting it with the original are actually not as bad as critics make out. The question of the jacket was always vague in the original. You can’t trust the source of a madman priest who’s trying to redeem himself. His character portrayal answered fresh questions about his involvement in the first place. What I’d like to know is, how does the twin child play a part in the overall Omen franchise and where does the daggers fit in to all of this?

[@Snook1985]

I remember when the Omen Remake movie was announced. It had the gimmick release date of June 06, 2006. I remember my mom wanting to see it. She told us the release date, and my dad and I simultaneously said, "Really?" We both kinda lost interest with that alone. 😅

[@sproductionsinc]

It's one of the better remakes out there. Nothing new or special, from what I can remember, but it felt like they at least tried unlike most these days.

[@WobblinJawSports]

Just saw it myself and my feelings are right there with all fo yours. This is a really nice surprise in horror films for 2024. I liked it and really appreciated it's efforts.

[@dorcaswinter8296]

Very unpopular but storyline and plot-twist wise Immaculate wins it for me. HOWEVER First Omen killed it with the cinematography! It was stunning how they made it look like it was actually filmed in the 70s.

[@Ecw_Kevin_Torres]

I don’t think there’s ever a movie I felt uncomfortable when I was watching it. This is as real as horror gets this was great movie it was scary and most importantly uncomfortable at times. The acting was fantastic but Nell Tiger Free was amazing in this movie

[@clarissanavarro2762]

The first scene where they show someone giving birth,...and the hand came out,... I shouted in the theater,...along with a dozen other people...LOL. This franchise always gave me the creeps. I think it speaks to the fact that I grew up in a Fundamentalist Church. Watching Priests and Nuns trafficking with Demonology all while espousing "The Greater good." This movie serieously is proof that "The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions"

[@thecunninlynguist]

@@clarissanavarro2762 that hand was awesome.

[@oompie815]

​@@clarissanavarro2762 That is probably because no one knew the back story of the Antichrist and it's mother/father. That is why it was unexpecting. I had a similar reaction with the crowd I watched. Most of them were laughing uncomfortably. That was quiet irritating.

[@clarissanavarro2762]

@@oompie815 When people are made uncomfortable, which this Movie does so well,... a common reaction is inappropriate laughter. They do not want to appear as though they are legitimately scared or creeped out so they put on a brave front and act like " this isn't scary see? I am laughing." What I want to tell these people is.." get over yourself, I did not pay to see whether or not you are brave or get scared, I came to see what is on the screen. Either shut the fuck up, or go home, but ... keep your shit to yourself" lol... They are almost as bad as that guy I sat next to watching Oppenheimer that insisted on telling everyone " that's Not how Physics works...actually....

This movie is better than Immaculate

[@isuriadireja91]

i hope, the next Omen movie they do would be a REMAKE of the THIRD movie....The Final Conflict. despite the excellent casting of Sam Neill as the adult Damien, that movie really killed the franchise for a time...and kinda ruined the anticipation of the Damine finale...after the first two movies. especially, since this movie is set in the same period, the 70s. so, it makes sense to remake the Final Conflict movie and also set it as a.... okay, let's see....if the first original movie was set in 76, the second (tho made in 78) would've taken place in the mid-80s, maybe 1985-6...with Damien being a teenager and all. the ADULT Damien (in his early to mid 30s) story should be set around late 90s to early 2000s. so, it would be a "period" piece taking place in the beginning of the new millennium...which sounds perfect. let's make this happen.

[@TheEnigmaticBM39]

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Waited all weekend for this one Stinks this fell to 4th place at the box office Happy to say though this movie was very good whew The filmmakers manage to make the movie stand on its own terms without blatantly resembling the original There's minor callbacks here and there but it's really about this young woman dealing with her possible hysteria interfering with her godly duties Nell Tiger Free gives a fantastic, gut-wrenching performance being appropriately conflicted There's a heavy dose of atmosphere, gnarly-looking visuals, and some truly memorable sequences adding to the grotesque body horror It's incredible that director Arkasha Stevenson was able to pull off as much as she did particularly with one scene so graphic she avoided an NC-17 rating And when they do explain the reasoning for this unholy birth taking place it totally turns everything around To them this rising of the son of the devil might be the answer to send the ignorant back to their faith, making change without resorting to violence, erase the need for secularism wiping the slate clean as it were, how do we control people who no longer believe (by creating something to fear) There's also subtle comments and motifs on women's reproductive rights and bodily autonomy in the name of the holy word being quite contemporary The first film is superior in many ways and this does take a while to get going being 2 hours but I'm so thankful this one created a very good bridge to what was established prior while still being an effective religious horror tale Skipped all the other sequels including the remake And I didn’t even know about the short lived tv series on A&E, that got terrible reviews too

To me it made more sense than how the original was birth was told. How a Jackel and a demon gonna birth a human child. 🤔 Im glad they retold that story. When a canine can birth a human boy a pig can fly from America to Tokyo 😳 🤣 now with this a woman and a demon or a man possessed by a demon had a human child. Ok

[@Spindler2007]

@@will_cashgrow2294 there is a thing called the suspension of disbelief. In the supernatural realm of horror movies, a demon child being born from an animal is likely to happen. Changing what was established in the original Omen movies is not disrespectful to the lore but is also insulting.

The Omen Franchise as a whole is good,... even if the third had a goofy scene or two. By the time you get to three, there is plenty of Horrifying back story that the audience wants to see resolved, since all the prior movies are pointing to the events in third. Never saw " awakening" so cannot speak on it. Just as an aside, but.... a charismatic political candidate exploiting religious fanatics to ride into the white house that uses his wealth and privilige to .... Yes, sounds so far fetched..... at least it used to.

The Omen movies have surprisingly good sequels and other movies compared to other horror franchises.

[@shettywap]

I saw it on friday with the lady, and i can't say that i enjoyed it overall. They showed every plot point before it happened, and they lingered too long on whatever it was. The first jump scare looked like an exact replica of the nun. And for that, they lingered on the thing that was clearly going to be a ghost for an eternity. Same with the guy walking backward into a street. Its like, well we know whats about to happen. That first 1/3rd was pretty rough to stay engaged with, even if the club scene made more sense later on. There were some things i really loved though. The shot when shes floating through the hallway, her convulsing when going into labor, and the length of it was so cool. The birth made the whole theater laugh. It looked goofy. There were maybe a couple of other neat parts, but everything else was a little too on the nose or slow for my liking.
