The First Omen is the latest sequel to a long-standing horror franchise, following the example of other series like Halloween or The Exorcist that have received modern reinventions and expansions. Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, 2024’s The First Omen is directly connected to the series and serves as a prequel to the original The Omen. The First Omen‘s ending leads straight to the events of the first film in the series and serves as an unexpected explanation of Damien Thorn’s birth parents.
