We need the video version please lol

[@joanietails]

This film was much better than I expected. The main actress was the girl from Servant which I personally enjoyed, and also why I think they cast her in the role. Would love to see her in a comedy to see what her range is. There were some great overhead shots sprinkled in (I think two scenes) that were different from the rest, & were a nice cinematic switch up. Wish they had done a few more like those. Of course I can’t remember what they were lol. The character named Luce, a Lucifer reference perhaps. Curious what the Mama line was about at the end, and why they looked surprised. As always @fishjelly continues to be my go-to for top notch reviews ❤️

[@traesmith9822]

Disney made this? The ending felt like Nick Fury was about to walk out the bushes to recruit them

[@gregorypeck1606]

Margaret couldn't have killed damien with surgical tools. It requires the daggers of megiddo.

In the Peck movie, isnt the Damien's mom a jackal, not his father? (They find the jackal bones in a the graveyard, right?)

[@gregorypeck1606]

It's called a retcon.

[@rociomiranda5684]

Yes

[@mjgerleman]

Yes. A famous line is "His mother was a jackal!"

[@ExorcistReviews]

6:12 / The whole "born of a jackal" carries over from the original to its sequel ( where a doctor discovers Damien's blood isnt human and resembles jackal blood) . I wonder why the prequel changes this?

[@DefLepRadar]

​@@ExorcistReviewsBecause they were too lazy to do proper research.

[@TechnicJunglist]

I'm shocked because i did not think this was going to be good. I always preferred The Omen to The Exorcist for some reason, so I'm excited. Thank you.

[@NeeNee_B.]

This video made me realize how wonderful and underappreciated Joseph's screen caps are 😂❤

[@Vinsensee]

I’m so sad with not seeing you guys :( but love the review ! Went to see it last night and DAMN it felt like EVERY SINGLE THING the exorcist believer and immaculate wanted to be. So good. So so good. Goodness.

[@rociomiranda5684]

Wait a sec. The jackal was Damien's *mother*, impregnated by Satan.

[@SUBWAYSWITCH]

You're right , is that not the case in this movie ?

[@Spindler2007]

​@@SUBWAYSWITCHnope. It's been retconned plus he has a twin sister which was never mentioned in the original movies. The reason for a twin sister is just for sequel bait.

[@SUBWAYSWITCH]

Oh no , that spoils the orignal , have you seen the new movie yet ? , what did you think ?.@@Spindler2007

[@vivaciousom5347]

Since people are using Retcon so much: Retroactive continuity, or retcon for short, is a literary device in which facts in the world of a fictional work that have been established through the narrative itself are adjusted, ignored, supplemented, or contradicted by a subsequently published work that recontextualizes or breaks continuity with the former.

[@ambergerber5162]

​@@Spindler2007the twin thing doesn't bother me because in the original everyone very much were setting up the Thorn family to raise Damien so it wouldn't surprise me that they lied or failed to mention a twin. Especially if the twin is gonna be the greatest weapon against Damien. They need him to rise to power before they attempt to take him out. Sorry if that doesn't make sense. It's 2am and I'm tired and slap happy. 😂😂

[@sugdendingles]

the part where margret’s demonic water broke reminded me of when isabelle adjani was miscarrying in possession so glad you guys picked up on that too i knew you’d like that callback ❤

[@laci2966]

That “Brand New Cherry Flavor” show was so good! Glad the director is doing more quality work. Love to see it.

[@clandman]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can Damien be the son of the devil/antichrist if they retcon the jackal being the mother by making the father the jackal and Margaret being the mother?

[@Spindler2007]

I knew this would be bad as retconning a most vital part of the Omen lore shows the makers of this movie don't respect the lore.

[@Kirby-gu1lf]

I believe the jackal was filled with spirit and mind of satan literally. Its funny I always pictured with the inception scene satan would look human.in the book when Satan was conjured i pictured he would look like a man.

[@TheSacralHealer]

Margaret is the spawn of the jackal. He had to mate with his own spawn to create Damien . So yes, she was a jackal a daughter of one and he too also had a jackal dad

[@FancyAlly]

I agree people should go watch this instead of that trash Immaculate film. I’ll definitely be watching The First Omen in theaters

[@Lilboozibert]

I couldn't agree more.

[@briandain8432]

I think i enjoy you 2's reviews more than the actual movie!! Great job, Brothers!!

[@tamarakarlas1]

I kind of dismissed this one from the trailer but I’ll give it a watch since y’all liked it !

[@gamerdrops]

shocked / happily surprised that this is actually a decent movie!!

[@Lilboozibert]

If it's better than Immaculate, I'm in. Immaculate and ExBeliever were so basic. Also, I love that Fever Ray song ("If I had a Heart") on the trailer.

[@jtheiii]

Immaculate was not basic at all but to each their own

[@Lilboozibert]

Edit: Just came out the theater! This was beautifully rich with so many scenes. Each shot was a Renaissance tapestry. Nell's portrayal was so complex, you could see so much was going on inside. And the backdrop of antifas--st Italy created additional tension. I expect they'll make a sequel. The ending was quite excellent. This story was written well and they knew exactly when to put the original Goldsmith theme in. Thanks for the review!

[@dandeliondragon1618]

That nun was her mother thats why she was comforting Margaret watch it again

[@nandundissanayake9854]

Was kinda of avoiding getting whiplash from having to watch too many popular horror movies given Immaculate, Late Night with the Devil, and this; and settle straight into Civil War next week. But I trust your taste. Imma go ahead and watch this film.

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

[@kharikhy-ree2242]

Just saw it today. This was so well crafted and shot. The car accident scene to me was so otherworldly. I loved the body acting. I wish it was just a little more scary but great film overall.

[@scotty2136]

Guuuuuurl where y’all at? 👀

[@billybobtexas]

It was a great flick. Impressive cinematography, acting. That actress Luz looks like a mix of Scarlett O’Hare and Young Elizabeth Taylor. She gave her scenes old hollywood vibes.

[@americanpancakelive]

You guys are right about this movie looking gorgeous and it certainly does. For me, it did feel very 70's filmic in the way it was shot. You didn't feel any obvious steadicam shots or even drone shots. The kind of sweeping shots even looked old school shot from cranes or a panning stationary drone. This kind of old school film making, framing worked amazingly well in feeling more vintage. The Paulo car scene was absolutely not needed and just plain silly. The shock value would have been, well, more shocking if the truck backed up while Margaret is comforting Paulo- would have been waaay creepier than the stupid shot they gave us. The other really dumb scene was the way they displayed the C- Section so anatomically incorrect and the quick sew up. HA> despite all these stupid contrivances it was a well told story. THE ENDING, I was like wtf?? Felt like a John Wick movie- like they are planning spin offs with the girl devil child being a source for good. HA-- anyway- for a directorial debut - HOLY FUCK- knocked it out of the park.

[@matthewlagrange3000]

Love you guys!!!

[@ariesunicorn8225]

The film takes place in 1971 but we hear a song by Raffaella Carrà (Rumore) which was published in 1974. Small careless error...

[@patriciorojas7700]

Wel I gotta admit sometimes I dont necessarily watch the video all time, so just just hearing the audio for the whole spoiler wasn't the craziest thing ever😂😂😂😂😂

[@politefan8141]

I thought the movie looked good, was well paced and well acted. Spoilers Of course However, I thought there were several opportunities to tell a much more compelling story especially when you consider the runtime. How the main character was groomed as a young child to assume the role of mother of the antichrist would have been fascinating. I also think it would have been interesting to show her dual nature much earlier in the film. The contrast between this shy, meek girl and the animalistic side we see during the third act could have been much better utilized during the club scene. I don't know why they made it a final act twist since everyone could see it coming a mile away. Overall, a missed opportunity.

I just left the theater. The film exceeded my expectations. I was the only one in the theater, which made it more creepier. It takes a lot to scare me, this move hit a certain way. lol ( I thought the same thing about the files. She wasn't discreet at all.)

I've just watched this on Hulu - it is GOOD and must have been amazing in front of a big screen

[@AmarisFrede]

I avoided watching this, cuz the thumbnail scared me. I thought there would be something about parasites. I didn't even get, that it was supposed to be a 666.

[@andressinks]

Apparently the director whispered in her ear before that scene after the car crash to "freak them the f out" about the other people working on set and people were walking off set it was so good. I'm happy for everyone in the this film

[@Darius-fn3hw]

So where did that Jackal come from? What is its origin and how did the monestary achieve to capture and contain it?

[@nightangel3578]

I don't think they captured it. I think the church somehow made a deal with the devil and it decided to show itself as a jackal.

[@Darius-fn3hw]

@@nightangel3578 Hm...yes would be a good backstory! I suppose the church didn´t expose him that they only do this to strengthen the belief in god;)

Ralph Ineson is creepy. Love him as an actor, but he's so creepy. And I'm sure that everyone expected the driver to be in on it, but he wasn't! Glad that trope wasn't used.

[@David-xc4we]

I had a theory that Damien’s mom would appear or that the main protagonist was in fact Damien’s mom, and that she wasn’t a real jackal to begin with, she either was turned into a body of a dead jackal after she died giving birth to Damien or she was half human, half jackal, and I was half right, except she was raped and impregnated by a female jackal!

[@stevecarey8671]

The titanic was sunk by an iceberg, not a rock. There was no SILVER ticket in the Wonka bar. It wasnt Flash Gordon who blew up the Death Star. Damien Thorn's birth mother was not a human or a nun. So this movie fails to tie up or prequel the classic story. So Fail Fail Fail.
