The First Omen Out of the Theater Reaction

[@sunsetlonercinema]

Sean… I respect you for openly being a man of faith, but also giving movies like these a chance and a watch and actually thinking about them deeply and not just brushing them off. You do the work of a professional film critic my friend.

[@owenharrison761]

I'm not that surprised, I hear the same thing from other reviews, it's a similar story to immaculate but this one made everything better. I hope the movie does well. Curiously, it is the first Disney release if 2024, who would have thought😂

[@MirrorDomains]

It's not the worst film of the year, but I didn't think it was good. For same reasons he said, it feels like it doesn't know where it's going.

[@Amp661]

It's a Disney movie, you say? No wonder they screwed up something. Damien was born of a jackal, this movie states he was born of the woman. I knew it....

[@JUNGBODHISATTVA]

Ahhh I get to watch 1 movie tonight and if it's like immaculate I've wasted a movie night lmao

With good reviews it should easily make + 150 mio. Decent horror flicks only happen a few times a year at best and the genre has such a loyal global fanbase.

@@derg6222 I completely agree

How can it be good if they screwed up Damiens mother? It was stated for 50 years he was born of a jackal, NOT a woman.

[@derg6222]

​@@Amp661 literally no one cares about the OG Omen. That franchise has been dead for decades. All us genre fans look out for are decent horror films, cause they are rare to come by.

[@Amp661]

@@derg6222 wow..that's a new one. No one cares about the og omen. So old movies are forgotten like yesterday's garbage. Yet you seem to DO care that this is connected to that OG Omen, yet you wouldn't see it. From Disney,of all people. No wonder most movie lovers are dim.

I'm sure you and him were disappointed.

[@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57]

@@Amp661 why would he be disappointed be it’s a good movie

[@Amp661]

@@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57 because it screwed up a key element that made Damiens birth disturbing. It was the very bastsrdization of christ birth that made omen 76 not to sit right. In this it's the complete opposite of what was stated for over 50 years, not to mention Father Brennan literally said his mother was a jackal AND finding the jackal skeleton in Cerveteri. I will never understand why people are.ok with changing something that was best left alone.

[@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57]

@@Amp661will you stop it does not Screw up anything first of all the jackal isn’t Damian’s Mother the Jackal is the Devil Disguise as a Jackal which his Father and in the original omen Damian is adopted by the family in that movie because this movie explains why he isn’t with his Real parents because his father is the Devil and Margot also tried to kill him when he was still a baby that explains why he’s not around her ok so you need to stop complaining because it sounds like you never watch the original omen

[@Amp661]

@@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57 Jesus, I can't believe this is happening........ No, damiens mother, as stated EXPLICITLY in the WHOLE trilogy, (before that trainwreck First Omen),is stated clearly that she is indeed a jackal, NOT a demon, not a devil, but an animal, a canid, a cousin to the fox. His father is Satan the devil (the ACTUAL devil). The graves found in Cervete were meant to house the remains of Thorns actual child and damiens actual mother under the alias "Maria Scianna" so that it would not look suspicious in case anyone had a clue on damiens origin. Damien was adopted because he was to rise to power through politics as stated in Revelation (stated explicitly in the first movie) and to stop the coming of Christ later in his life. The First Omen screwed up everything. (don't fight me on this, as this is my favorite movie "Omen 76" so I know how it goes.) Drop The First Omen, and actually watch and listen to the orignal trilogy, and you will see how it's not hard to understand.
