The First Omen

In Rome, 1971, an American novice nun named Margaret Daino arrives at the Vizzardeli Orphanage, where she uncovers a sinister conspiracy to bring about the birth of the Antichrist. As she bonds with mistreated orphan Carlita, who is plagued by disturbing visions, Margaret discovers that radicals within the Catholic Church seek to use her as part of their twisted plan. With grotesque practical effects and a hauntingly well-built atmosphere, this prequel to The Omen franchise delivers a suspenseful and terrifying ride, exploring themes of faith, darkness, and the supernatural.
