The Big Picture Between Immaculate and Late Night With the Devil, this spring is full of terrifying demonic haunts. However, one of the more intriguing horror films to come out this year is The First Omen. The prequel to one of the scariest films of all time, The Omen, from first-time director Arkasha Stevenson, looks to bring the franchise back to its disturbing roots.
While sitting down with the horror magazine Fangoria to dive into the body horror of the film, Stevenson would say, “The horror in that situation is how dehumanized that woman is. This has been my life for a year and a half, fighting for the shot. It’s the theme of our film. It’s the female body being violated from the inside outwards.
“The movie, by its nature, deals with female body horror, and I do think there’s a double standard. That was really interesting when we were negotiating with the ratings board. I think there is more permissiveness when dealing with male protagonists, particularly in body horror. That birthing scene is super intense, I also have three kids and have been at their births. It’s intense!”
‘The Omen’s Trauma Returns Close The original 1976 Omen from director Richard Donner is still one of the most fear-inducing films of the genre. However, the three sequels and remake that followed struggled to capture the first film’s shocking magic. When the filmmakers talk about body horror, fans of the series will instantly get sweat-inducing flashbacks of the head decapitation scene from the very first film.
Release Date April 5, 2024 Director Arkasha Stevenson Cast Ralph Ineson , Nell Tiger Free , Bill Nighy , sonia braga Writers Tim Smith , Arkasha Stevenson , Keith Thomas , Ben Jacoby , David Seltzer
