TOTLB 533 The First Omen

Yes, I know that we’re passed spooky season, but for me, watching Horror films happens all year round, even during the non spooky months! For todays episode we’re exploring the 2024 movie, The First Omen. 

“The First Omen (2024) is a psychological supernatural horror film directed by Arkasha Stevenson and serves as a direct prequel to the 1976 classic The Omen.”

Now, love me or hate me, personally, The Omen was never that appealing to me as I was getting older. It wasn’t one of the movies that inspired me to fall in love with the Horror genre. BUT, now that I have fully immersed myself into that type of film, I can see its legacy, and understand why so many people were/are fans of this franchise. Does that mean that they should keep making Omen movies, I guess that depends on what your personal feelings are on the franchise. There are 5 in total, with Arkasha Stevenson saying that he has ideas for where to take the franchise next, but so far no developments have come to light. 

So, while you wait to see where that does or doesn’t take us, you definitely should do yourself a favor and do the time travel back to 1976 and watch the Original. Maybe you’ll fall in love all over again?
