The ‘horror movie of the year’ has been branded so scary it made viewers ‘sick to their stomachs’ and left some in tears.
Supernatural Hollywood flick The First Omen has been hailed as a high point for the franchise which is nearly 50 years old. Described by critics as frequently frightening, it’s a prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner classic, and the sixth film in the series overall.
It follows an American woman sent to work at a church in Rome who uncovers a sinister conspiracy to bring about the birth of the antichrist. During her time there she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.

And it’s safe to safe it was job done if the reviews given by people who saw the movie are anything to go by.
One X user said: “The First Omen is the best movie of the year so far. Female directors are coming for y’all’s f***ing necks.”
Another wrote: “The First Omen had like 5 sequences that left me feeling sick to my stomach and utterly terrified. Pretty miraculous stuff. Lucky enough to have seen this beauty on 35mm, Arkasha Stevenson’s got the juice.”

While a third added: “Genuinely haven’t had a film f**k me up as bad as the First Omen did. I felt sick for the last hour of the movie and cried because of how utterly harrowing it is. Excellently done. horrifying. Makes the original Omen look like child’s play hands down.”
