This year has seen the release of many supernatural horror films surrounding religion and cults. We’ve seen a ’70s talk show gone wrong in Late Night with the Devil, which supposedly, which serves as a prequel to Richard Donner’s 1976 horror movie The Omen.
Arkasha Stevenson’s feature directorial debut is a stunner. She gets an opportunity that not many have. Her first feature right out of the gate is a franchise movie distributed by 20th Century Studios. You don’t get this opportunity without a hell of a pitch. Stevenson makes a case for herself as a horror filmmaker to look out for here. From the first scene, she quickly establishes the theme, atmosphere, and setting. She knows how to make certain moments stick in your head.
What separates The First Omen from more straight-laced horror films like Immaculate is the fact that this movie has some lore. The film isn’t afraid to spend time developing certain backstories and intricate story details. Some horror movies touch on this briefly as a stepping stone for more scares, but this movie spends time on it. Another shining aspect Stevenson brings is a female perspective to a long-running horror IP.
