If you are a big fan of horror movies, you should definitely watch the newly released streaming platform film titled The First Omen. This is a prequel to the entire Omen franchise, which tells the story of how the main antagonist in this franchise, Damien Thorn, or the Antichrist, was born.

As one of the franchises that has been around for several decades, The First Omen is definitely worth watching. At least, the writer has summarized the reasons why this film is worth watching. Curious? Here is the complete review for us to discuss together why The First Omen is worth watching.

1. Strong Drama Elements

When I watched The First Omen, the first third of the film presented strong drama elements. Yes, this is indeed a horror film, but the strong drama can be seen from the very strong character dialogues. Additionally, while horror films usually present horror elements that immediately pique curiosity, The First Omen displays horror through simple, drama-like scenes. What this film does reminds us of horror films with a nearly similar genre, such as Crimson Peak. Moreover, the old Italian setting is perfectly executed, making the drama elements in this film truly remarkable.

2. Slow-Building Pace

Films with too slow a pace can sometimes make us impatient. However, The First Omen manages to present a slow pace without being boring. We are shown how this film builds its mystery and conflict to later unleash it into an extraordinary climax.

Furthermore, this film does not use cheap jump scares! Instead, the jump scares in this film are extraordinarily well-crafted, difficult to predict, and sophisticated. With this extraordinary execution, The First Omen, which has a duration of about 100 minutes, does not feel boring because each scene is made to be continuous even though the pace is slow.

3. Significant Key Characters

It must be admitted that the key characters in this film truly have significant roles. Usually, there are films that make a character a key character, but when it reaches the final third of the film, their role suddenly diminishes. However, this does not happen with The First Omen. In this film, Sister Silva and Father Brennan have important roles from the beginning to the end.

Their roles are even comparable to the main characters in this film, namely Margerett Daino and Carlitta Scania. With such deep roles from several key characters, this film becomes so powerful in terms of story and dialogue.

4. Important Film in the Omen Franchise

Damien Thorn becomes an iconic antagonist in the Omen franchise. He is very evil and terrifying. But the question is, how did such an evil character come to be and be born? To answer this question, The First Omen was created to tell how Damien was born and how terrifying his birth was.

We are also shown who Damien's mother really is. Because of its very important position in the Omen franchise, you definitely must watch this film, especially if you have been following the entire franchise.

5. Truly Worth Watching

In conclusion, The First Omen is definitely worth watching. This film has various interesting aspects, from its story pace, its vibrant characters, to its very important position in the entire Omen franchise.

So, have you watched it? If you have, share your thoughts on this film.
