The Story:
A young American lady is brought to Rome to start a life of ministry to the church, but she discovers a horrifying plot intended to bring about the incarnation of evil and is confronted with a darkness that makes her doubt her faith.
The First Omen is set in 1971, almost five years before the events of the first film. It is set in a period of fading, almost nonexistent trust in the Catholic Church and civic turmoil in Rome. Progressive movements are growing, and their methods are out of date. While all is going on, Margaret (a stunning breakthrough performance by Nell Tiger Free) is getting married at an orphanage. Despite a small language barrier and having battled frightening visions in the past, Margaret hopes to have a positive influence on the kids. In order for her to see what she would give up by becoming a nun, her roommate Luz (Maria Caballero) also demands that she dress up and spend the evening out on the town, living freely.
The point is that, in addition to co-writing the screenplay with Tim Smith and Keith Thomas, first-time feature-length director Arkasha Stevenson has given careful consideration to not only how this prequel fits into the larger context of The Omen series, but also to this specific moment in time for women, while also delving into a dark side of the Catholic Church and unpleasant experiences for girls. The story was written by Ben Jacoby and featured characters created by David Seltzer. This time, the devil is behind the scenes in that some of the anguish and suffering experienced by women can be attributed to prominent religious figures.
Even though there may be too much exposition about jackals and satanic marks, the events shown here still feel like they are a part of the franchise and lore because there are real characters that don't feel like they are there just to provide context to a legendary horror film and its less satisfying sequels. This is not to say that The First Omen is devoid of nostalgia beats entirely—the well-known score does, of course, play at one point, and there are other, less imaginative callbacks like another public hanging—but rather that those elements are easily assimilated given the experience's overall unique identity.
It also seems reasonable to argue that very few people saw or recall the direct-to-TV follow-up Omen IV: The Awakening, so even the idea of a young child being the catalyst for unfortunate, possibly malevolent events seems novel. It should come as no surprise that the movie isn't reluctant to criticize religion.
Margaret finds herself drawn to Carlita (Nicole Sorac, who strikes a balance between menacing and misinterpreted) right away. Carlita is a disturbed child who frequently draws inappropriate pictures (what kind of horror movie would be complete without that cliché for disturbed kids), and Margaret starts having unsettling visions of landing in "the bad room," a desolate, dark place. Margaret, who is attempting to live a more steady and conventional life, largely ignores the horrifying things Carlita tells about. She even brushes off a visiting priest named Brennan (played deftly by Ralph Ineson), who begs her to heed his warnings.
The aforementioned largely leads to one predictable narrative swerve that takes a little too long to unveil, as well as lengthy exposition of details that viewers of the series will already be aware with. The producers are also worried about some extremely unsettling physical horror related to childbirth and the horrific extent to which a secretive group inside the church will go in order to reclaim their powerful grip over society, disregarding the consequences of abusing women. The more interesting character-driven storylines and social commentary are dropped to make room for the unsatisfactory scares, which are compensated for with macabre visuals.
The First Omen is far superior to a recently released movie that tackles almost all of the same subject matter, despite its storytelling flaws (which include a stupid, misguided ending that only serves to set up more movies to make). This is worth discussing because the theater landscape in which movies are released is also an important topic of discussion. Unquestionably, one gets the impression that they are witnessing a filmmaking team that has found out how to bring their idea to life and put a contemporary touch on another eerie series. A socially charged, devilish production with some truly horrifying imagery and terrible performances, The First Omen is not to be missed.
