The First Omen - Movie Review

In a world of prequels, we have a prequel to The Omen....but this one might hit different. Here's my review for THE FIRST OMEN!

I am a Catholic. The term Jeremy is looking for is novitiate or postulant. Both terms refer to different stages of formation in which an aspirant to consecrated life goes through in order to become a nun.

[@Jonathan_Collins]

Fun fact: There was a tv show called Damien that was on A&E I believe, wish that never got cancelled. It was a good twist on The Omen!

Richard Donner directed the original version that starred Gregory Peck back in the mid 1970’s - and I think it still stands up today (except perhaps ‘that’ scene). Trainee nuns are called novitiates.

Thanks for that... ( That moustache on the finger looked real on you... )

[@HECROD48]

The jump scare made me spit my coffee

[@stevelubinski8617]

Hey Jeremy, great review! I agree with all your points. I saw the film last night and even still today, I can’t believe some of the graphic imagery I saw on the screen. I NEVER thought I would see anything like that in a studio film, let alone one from Disney! This film is so dark, unnerving and unwholesome, that the best compliment I can give it is that it feels like Satan himself was a technical advisor on it. I also can’t believe this is Arkasha Stevenson’s feature-film debut (she also co-wrote the screenplay). She knocks it out of the stratosphere on this one. Not only is the movie set in 1971 it feels like it was shot in 1971. The cinematography, editing style and sound design all feel like lo-fi throwbacks to the 70s, in the best possible way. Yet it never feels dated and greatly respects Richard Donner’s film. I can’t recommend this movie enough ... if you can handle it!

[@iorwerthbellis6695]

The Servant, right.. still have to check on the two latest seasons, totally forgot about it- yet it was pretty good. Always the same thing with these Apple Shows, it's really weird. Good, or so it feels at the moment, yet so utterly forgettable ultimately...

[@garydignam5414]

Hold on the mother of Damien? then what about the scene in original Omen film where the ambassador and the photographer are in the graveyard and discover the remains of the real baby of the ambassador and the remains of the jackal (Damien's mother) ? so is it a prequel or a reboot???

[@edcancino5026]

Exactly

[@Spindler2007]

It's a prequel but it retconned Damien's mother being a Jackal. Quite disappointing, really.

[@JohnDoe-ce1kx]

Hey, they needed the prequel to happen lol

[@ladisneyprincesse]

Then his Disciples covered this up just like they did the fire! They are ruthless indeed!

[@leonkuwata4510]

The jackal is the father instead. I wouldn't say it's too drastic of a retcon, and it makes the prequel a better film. Women generally make for better horror protagonists, for obvious reasons

[@offdutyenglishmajor9924]

Your jump scare was pure gold. Thank you for that.

[@vincebravo674]

Glad you enjoyed it. For me. Evil Dead Rise is the best horror movie of the 2020s. Sure that movie came out back in 2023 but my parents and I really love that movie. Heck it's my all time favorite and I gave it a 10 outta 10. The reason why is because the whole movie is incredibly memorable from the opening, to the cast, the sound design, the makeup/practical effects, the music, and the acting was all great. Plus. I'm very excited for the upcoming sequel. It will start filming near the end of this year and will be releasing to the public next year in October 31st (perfect timing) 2025 and they said that the actresses that played Beth and Cassie will make a return.

[@CD-bn7el]

Jeremy opening hysterical such a cool guy

[@NateDVHSAndDVDGuy]

I think 1976’s The Omen is great. Rewatching it a couple months ago, it still holds up quite well. With this movie, I think I’ll wait until it hits streaming. I’m already seeing a lot of movies in theaters this month, which means one I’m not as looking forward to has to wait for a couple of months. After this review though, this movie has more of my attention.

[@19bones99]

Bro, I wanna know if this was true for anyone else cause I watched the omen a few Halloweens back with my aunt, and that shit was a laugh riot. All of the "scary" scenes just landed with perfect comedic timing for me. It just felt so dated. I've wondered over the years if I was missing something since it's supposed to be this horror classic, but idk.

[@joerosario6624]

​@@19bones99 nah you didn't miss anything horror is very subjective kinda like comedy. I find a lot of scary movies funny but a lot of other movies people don't find scary I find terrifying.

[@Spooky_515]

If you’re like me I only go to the theatre once in awhile. This movie is good but nothing special so waiting to stream is the best bet

[@balladofthebroken7569]

I absolutely adored it as a fan of the original. Really fucking good.

[@ashleybrooke2087]

@@EJD339 The original movie did make kind of a big deal about that reveal so it's kind of the canon itself that made that detail so relevant.

It's just a prank, bro."

It's like if they're going to believe in that then vampires, werewolves, ghost, zombies, evil leprechauns, etc... and all of the other sorts of make-believe horror stories are gullible to be believed as well.

So good to hear. I’ll see it in theaters. I actually really liked the 2006 Omen that came out on 6-6-06. Such a cool movie event.

[@DR729er]

Cool. Thanks for the review Jeremy.

[@alfreddaniel1994]

I wasn't expecting this movie to get a good review. I'm definitely watching this at the theater on my birthday this Sunday.

[@marcantoine4374]

Is me or is the promo for the first Omen and monkey man is the same promo 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂????

[@dariocarzola8978]

Everything about this review is great and why I tune in 👏🏻

[@joshjacks2837]

Saw The First Omen last night, loved the fact they actually shot this in Rome. The architecture helps sell the gravitas of what's happening. As for 2024 I'm going to go with Late Night with the Devil but that may be challenged later on by Abigail, Longlegs, Cuckoo, etc.

Damn I must been only one that thought this movie was pointless and doesn’t add any relevance to the overall franchise 😅 aww well. Glad others enjoyed it. 2/10 for me

[@Tomy_Yon]

Don't feel bad.

[@RejectedHeroesMedia]

@@Tomy_Yon it just seemed a lot of other KZbinr praised this movie. I must have missed something

[@Tomy_Yon]

@RejectedHeroesMedia Why? If you had another experience, you can have your opinion. That's perfectly fine.

[@doctorsleep8766]

Not a fan of retconning Damien's birth. The twist with his birth sets up a possible parallel sequel to run alongside the original films. They also made Father Brennan a heroic character when it is clearly shown in the original film that he is marked with the number 666... suggesting he was a part of the conspiracy and was seeking redemption...

[@mooseyman74]

Maybe they should dump the 'Ret' part

[@RockNRolla1212]

I'm going to go watch it this weekend thanks to you, J-Bone! I was on the fence, but ya swayed me Edit: Also, I'm glad you said that chick was good in it because she did a great job being creepy in The Servant. The show kinda fizzled after the first season, but she was still awesome in it.

[@RabbiSteve]

Wow. Thanks. I was going to skip this, but now probably will not. This review definitely made me want to go see it. Too many prequel’s and sequels of classic films, not to mention remakes have just been cash grabs and disappointments. This does not sound like that.

[@LeeSouthwell-uh6cp]

Pass. The original omen is good but I don't need to know what happened before it.

[@AmaroRay4258]

You wouldn’t know about anything before it by looking at this one anyway because they changed the jackal birth into a human nun birth. I’m with you on passing on this one.

[@mrspeigel3593]

That doesn't look like a movie about a jackal

[@youngge3398]

I love that movie
