Chris Stuckmann reviews The First Omen, starring Nell Tiger Free, Ralph Ineson, Sonia Braga, Tawfeek Barhom, Maria Caballero, Charles Dance, Bill Nighy. Directed by Arkasha Stevenson.
Man the praise for Nell Tiger Free is beyond wonderful to hear, because she is a very underappreciated young actress. Caught my eye in Too Old To Die Young and been a fan ever since... and to hear how good she is and how good the film is, is a breath of fresh air.
To answer the quote, the original Omen was a small phenomenon that had people terrified of the concept of a devil child. There is a documentary regarding its pop culture effect in the bluray version of the (1976) feature. The first film is also really good.
@@eddiezanryder I should have made it clear that the news talked about it being the scariest and the poster refers to its influence. Even in the doc you see people going to ambulances and a small satanic panic that came from the release of the film. Plus the curse made the film much more known albeit infamously.
@@ericesposito3880 I’ll give that a watch after. This might be another set of movies that match each other’s plots. Like Volcano and Dante’s Peak, or Antz and A Bug’s Life.
Knowing that its a prequel to a movie that's 48 years old at this point with tagline in the poster confidently saying that it is "the most terrifying movie of the year", it's honestly quite shocking that it has been getting a strong positive buzz, but hey good for them 😂
It really is that good trust me. Shat on Immaculate AND Late Night With the Devil. Hell, I haven’t seen a horror film this good since Hereditary or Sinister.
Saw it last night. The word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot but this flick is damn close. One of the best prequels ever made and just an incredible horror film in every regard. Huge and welcome surprise.
Saw it tonight! I thought it was absolutely incredible. Let's just say a certain shot in the first part of the movie (where a woman has her legs wide open and something is coming out) and it cuts to black.... the ENTIRE audience just audibly had a different reaction. It was awesome
That shot was absolutely insane. MILD SPOILER: I texted someone I know about what I thought of the movie afterward and said "Deformed hands show up in places where you wouldn't expect".
Totally agree! At one point I realised that Gregory Peck should appear at the end… and was worried we might get a CGI version. So relieved they went for the photo in the file option. I was also blown away at how much the cinematography looked like a 1970s film
Glad to have this films quality confirmed. I saw the trailer in theaters and was really impressed but didn't want to get my hopes up too high. Doubly excited now and booking a ticket for tomorrow.
I got extremely and also weirdly excited when I saw the trailer a few months ago at the cinema, the cinematography looked extremely careful, very detailed and also very creepy. It looked very atmospheric and genuinely creepy, which is very rare. The composition, the music, the sound design, the way the trailer was presented really caught my my attention, I looked it up immediately and saw that it was a relatively small movie with no ratings and that it hadn’t come out. I’ve been waiting for it ever since with some suspicion but also excitement to see what it really is about. Your review confirmed my suspicion and my thoughts around the movie, so now I’m going to go watch it very excited and eagerly. Great review Chris as per usual, loved it.
I had that no expectation turning to awe moment for a couple of films. Shawshank Redemption, Ususal Suspects and Dusk Till Dawn. I saw all those on sneak preview showings. I had no idea what would be on, no idea what those films were, so it's a perfect surprise. I try to preserve that magic by checking out no trailers, sometimes just looking at the thumbnails you guys on TH-cam provide for your reviews. This film is now on my must-see list. I hope to have forgotten everything you said when I go see it.
I love the Omen trilogy, these are among my favorite horror movies so was not initially thrilled to hear a prequel was made - but your review of it has made me at least curious. I might go watch the original first though, just to get that dark feeling back. Thanks man, great job as always!
Thanks Chris for your honest reviews. So far your reviews been on point.

Hey Chris! Just wanted to say I absolutely love your reviews. Your channel is one of my top all-time favorites on TH-cam. Your videos are so joyful and exciting - exactly what I enjoy. Big thanks from a fan in Spain! 🤩
I've been watching Stuckman videos since he was in his bedroom with the Batman posters. Guys he literally started off reviewing movies in his bedroom. There is nothing creepy about what I said. Unless you are not an og subscriber and don't know what I'm talking about.
@@LuisSierra42nah he isn’t a bot surprisingly this is common for people to copy and paste their comments or others bcus they are farming likes. They get a dopamine hit from the validation or interactions and a sense of good karma for spreading joy.
I just got home from watching it and my whole theater was audibly gasping at certain scenes (especially THAT one) and the jump scares were well done. Scares aside I really enjoyed the story and watching it unfold. It found a way to respect the original film while expanding on it. All the actors brought their A game to the movie and that brought the terror home like few other horror films have. Go watch it !
This and Alien: Romulus are the first time I’ve been excited for horror movies in years! I’m working on watching the original Omen for my first time, and I’m really looking forward to seeing the rest and then hopefully The First Omen back to back! What a great year for surprise movies so far!!!!
Crazy how it was the trailer shown before Late Night with the Devil, that sold me on the film. It looked so good... Then I saw the title of the film, and was surprised that it was an Omen movie trailer. I had high hopes just from the trailer and I'm so happy to hear the positive receptions!
everytime in like last 2 weeks when i see that you have posted new review im hoping it is The Late Night with the Devil, can't wait to see it and hear what do you think of it
Thanks for the review,Chris!Planning to see it last week but I didn't want to see it without seeing your review first..Omen 1 is such a classic favorite of mine, glad to know the prequel is good. Will watch it omorrow!
Another thing that in any other movie would've been a red flag tho. lol When your cast is that stacked it's either gonna be really good or really REALLY bad, yano? 😅
(Although, now I sorta want the terrible syfy original horror movie where Bill Nighy and Charles Dance compete to be The One Thing Worth Watching "yes I know exactly what kind of movie I'm in" "elegant consumption of the scenery with cutlery we're not barbarians thank you very much" villains? It'd be Underworld all over again.)
wait a sec Stuckman, did you indeed say it was six hundred and sixty six times better than expectations? very nice affectation there! 🤘 i salute you sir!
Man, I didn't expect to like this movie so much! It made me feel so tense I actually wanted to leave the cinema at some point! 😂 There's so much to love about this, absolutely creepy, glad we're getting so many great horror movies this year.
Chris, you have to watch Late night with the devil if you havent already. It is a very creative, well done horror movie. Best horror movie ive seen in a while
Glad this is getting good reviews. I’m getting Possession vibes as well from the performance. So happy studios are starting to release suspense and story are more important than loud sounds and jump scares.
@@primalplasmaIn all fairness, Hereditary is a once in a generation horror movie classic. It's on a similar level as the Exorcist and Rosemary's baby.
I just saw this last night. There are some parts that are done very well but for me personally, it doesn’t compare to Hereditary. I also saw Hereditary for the first time a few weeks ago. That movie made me have trouble going to sleep for two nights in a row. This movie…not so much.
I don't normally do horror films, but I did see the original on the t.v when I was a little kid back in the 1980s, and it scared me to tears, so based on this review, I'm going to give it a watch.
I am a huge fan of Servant and obviously a large part of that was Nell Tiger Free's performance so I am super stoked and happy for her that The First Omen is getting great reviews.
I'm so impressed with the lead. That scene after the car? I heard that the director whispered in her ear before filming that to freak them the f out. And she did. People were walking off set
I saw this movie before looking at your review and I have to admit that you were spot on and the first omen definitely stands side by side with The Omen
I saw the original Omen in the late 1970s (yes, I'm old) and went to see this one on the basis of your review. I enjoyed it and thought it was very confidently crafted and well played by all of the actors. Without spoiling anything, the only thing I noticed was that it turned a major plot twist in the 1976 movie on its head. But, I think they can logic it through if they make any more movies with these characters.
phenomenal movie! I watched it today and I mist confess it is so much better than I expected. The actress who plays Margaret did a superb job! 5 stars.
If you're looking for more horror classics, I'm curious if you've ever seen Jacob's Ladder. It's a rare example of a horror movie with a rather uplifting and inspirational message.
Loved the whole production, director, DOP, casting, art direction etc. This is a real good one. As a major horror fan and fan of The Omen, I haven't been impressed by any movie in a while. Nell Tiger Free and Ralph Ineson, who I loved in the Witch, are really amazing actors.
After Exorcist: Believer I thought I'd wait to see the reviews for this one and now I'm kicking myself for it, would have loved the feeling of realizing that I was watching a well made film
You have 2.04M subscribers. I tend to trust your judgement and respect your appraisals. I have been a 'fan' of The Omen since before you were born. You had better be bloody right on this because your review is the only reason I'm going to give this flick eyeballs. (if you're wrong, one of your 2.04 is going to be mighty miffed off with you Mr Stuck.)
Saw the movie in theaters twice , absolutely one of the most carefully made horror films ,, the director really put an effort to capture exquisite details !! Acting is brilliant in some scenes ,, the director again definitely respected the actors abilities and expressions ,, it was perfect ,, soundtracks and cinematography were on spot !!
For a long time I stopped caring about horror movies but this was absolutely fantastic and very different! I enjoyed the ending and there were a lot of great scenes that were just shot beautifully! This and immaculate have been sooo good!!
I saw it yesterday and I will say it is one of the best horror movies I have ever seen! I had no expectation’s and being a fan of the original. The First Omen did it Justice. You are right. The last 20 minutes were sheer dread and I was absolutely shocked they went the direction they did. I’m sure you know what I mean. I absolutely want to see this again this week and Whoever played Father Brennon did an amazing job. I truly hope they continue the story some how. We deserve more of this amazing story to move forward somehow. I can’t say enough how much I loved it and will say. They did a legendary actor right in the end. So glad it was incorporated!
I wasn't planning on watching this bc it seem to me another one of those films with a lot of jump scares. But I hv been seeing a lot of good reviews on this one and hearing you praise the movie now makes me want to watch it, I trust your reviews bc I find my taste in movies similar to yours 😄 now I'm looking forward to watching this, probably this weekend. Looking forward to Monkey Man review nxt
I saw it tonight and loved it! Was generally freaked out- so well done and belonged well next to the Gregory Peck Omen movie years ago! I want to see it again! 😊
never would have paid 2 see this BUT after your positive review gave it a chance and I am glad I did. Your review is spot on and very accurate. Thanks for the opinions and your brilliant analysis. I loved it!!!
The soundtrack was amazing… the cast amazing… the script was amazing… you’ll hear voices throughout the movie 😅 and leave the theater wanting a sequel.
This movie is such a great companion piece/ prequel. It matches the tone and aesthetic of the original but still has modern touches and some nice atmospheric scares. And Nell is fantastic as Margaret! Was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was
@@shauryashimpi1143It's not scary at all. The same shitty noisy jumpscares. It's a bit gory because it shows some brutal scenes, but nothing interesting. Those who say this is scary probably watched 2 horror movies all their life.
yes. It is scary. The original omen is almost 50 years old but this one captures the tone and spirit of the original in a remarkable way. It is highly disturbing and grotesque. The horror is there, but it comes from the disturbing nature and thought of a demonic child and the horror the church is comitting to make it happen. Its a film that lets the abhorrent nature of the acts being committed scare you, not ghosts jumping out at you to scare you.
The director hopes for more Omen movies at this point, and wouldn't it be cool if FOX would do that? THAT I'm sold on if they can keep the momentum going.
Arkasha Stevenson definitely entered my list of Directors to look out for
Man the praise for Nell Tiger Free is beyond wonderful to hear, because she is a very underappreciated young actress. Caught my eye in Too Old To Die Young and been a fan ever since... and to hear how good she is and how good the film is, is a breath of fresh air.
Only seen her in Servant but the show wouldn't have been the same without her
@@bio2189I agree 100%. Hell, she was the reason I even watched it.
Dude she’s on my radar for sure after this movie
She was absolutely fantastic!
Nell Tiger Free was great in TOTDY, a great series too.
To answer the quote, the original Omen was a small phenomenon that had people terrified of the concept of a devil child. There is a documentary regarding its pop culture effect in the bluray version of the (1976) feature.
The first film is also really good.
It wasn't a brag. It was a wink and nod to the genre and the original film.
@@eddiezanryder I should have made it clear that the news talked about it being the scariest and the poster refers to its influence. Even in the doc you see people going to ambulances and a small satanic panic that came from the release of the film. Plus the curse made the film much more known albeit infamously.

I saw this comment on Jeremy’s video too.
It's actually a pretty solid movie. It's like 3/4 trashy Italian horror. Pleasant surprise for sure.
It really is that good trust me. Shat on Immaculate AND Late Night With the Devil. Hell, I haven’t seen a horror film this good since Hereditary or Sinister.
The movie is good, who cares if someone on the marketing team decided it was a good idea to include an infamous quote lol
Do I have to see the others before seeing this one I haven't seen the others but I wanna see this one
Saw it last night. The word masterpiece gets thrown around a lot but this flick is damn close. One of the best prequels ever made and just an incredible horror film in every regard. Huge and welcome surprise.
Oof It was creepy creepy
Masterpiece implies perfection. This was far from it. Rewatch the original and see how much the mucked up the story
@@divdo1you can't relax and just enjoy a good prequel can you 😂
@@LeonAvalos oh I enjoy a good prequel. A good prequel can at least make sense. This wasn’t one of them
@@divdo1why don’t you go troll somewhere else and let others enjoy their experience with the movie.
Saw it tonight! I thought it was absolutely incredible. Let's just say a certain shot in the first part of the movie (where a woman has her legs wide open and something is coming out) and it cuts to black.... the ENTIRE audience just audibly had a different reaction. It was awesome
Can we watch this without any context of the old omen films ?
Because this is the first time I am hearing about omen films..
@@imkira13 It stands on its own. The final word in this movie kinda "sets up" the original movie. Other than that, you'll understand everything.
That shot was absolutely insane.
MILD SPOILER:
I texted someone I know about what I thought of the movie afterward and said "Deformed hands show up in places where you wouldn't expect".

I enjoyed it more than Immaculate. Looking forward to your Monkey Man review, loved it.
I think I need to see an optometrist!
I could barely follow the action in Monkey Man!!
Chris grew up with The First Omen
@@travisspazz1624wasn’t a huge fan of a lot of the camera work during the action scenes but it was still dope.
It was a good film, but I thought Immaculate was better. It wasn’t constrained like The First Omen, which had to fit within the Omen franchise.
The First Omen and Monkey Man have almost the exact same poster, and I find that extremely amusing.
Same lmao😅
They must have been so annoyed when they seen each other's posters lmao
Chris grew up with The First Omen
The First Omen 👿 vs Monkey Man 🐒
is a prediction on the election 🤣

You mentioning Possession aka one of my favourite movies, hyped this movie up for me soooooo much!!!!
Which year did it come out and who are the main actors? I tried looking it up and there are 4-5 movies with that name.
@@taotzu1339 it's the one made by Żuławski with Sam Neill. It was made in 1981

You're ridiculous @@gbasar1032
There was a tv show called Damien that was on A&E I believe, wish that never got cancelled. It was a good twist on The Omen!
yea your right but the show was poorly written
bro literally decided to comment the exact same thing on the Jeremy Jahns video and the Chris Stuckmann video.

I see what you did there Chris!
What did he do?
@@21innocentbystander 666 is the number for the devil.
Yeah, I thought that was a nice touch🤣
@@somecallmejeremy What????
Same exact experience. Went in with no expectations. Left completely blown away.
Great horror and by far my favorite Omen film!
You are the 4th online critic I follow who has said pretty much the same thing. Thanks, Chris. I'm sold!
I just got home from watching it and my whole theater was audibly gasping at certain scenes (especially THAT one) and the jump scares were well done.

This wasn’t even on my radar of movies to watch this year but definitely going to check it out now after seeing this review. Thank you! 💪🏽

Looking forward to this one Chris! Great review.
I’m seeing The Omen tonight! Thank you for an awesome review!
How was it?
Looking forward to this now! Still can't believe you haven't reviewed Late Night with the Devil yet though
Same
Hey @ChrisStuckmann when will Shelby Oaks release? Looking forward to that!
Thanks for the review,Chris!Planning to see it last week but I didn't want to see it without seeing your review first..Omen 1 is such a classic favorite of mine, glad to know the prequel is good. Will watch it omorrow!
What a masterpiece. Performance, directing, cinematography, music, lighting, etc.... I couldn't stand up after the movie.
Surprised u haven’t reviewed Late night with the Devil , I’ve been waiting on u to do that one
It has Bill Nighy, Ralph Innesin, and Charles Dance in it by the looks - some powerhouse British talent... So im sold already
Another thing that in any other movie would've been a red flag tho. lol
When your cast is that stacked it's either gonna be really good or really REALLY bad, yano? 😅
(Although, now I sorta want the terrible syfy original horror movie where Bill Nighy and Charles Dance compete to be The One Thing Worth Watching "yes I know exactly what kind of movie I'm in" "elegant consumption of the scenery with cutlery we're not barbarians thank you very much" villains? It'd be Underworld all over again.)
I’ll watch anything with Charles Dance
He only has a small cameo part @@renaissanceman5296
Delighted to hear this! Will get my lady to watch the original with me (really fucked me up as a kid) and this prequel.
wait a sec Stuckman, did you indeed say it was six hundred and sixty six times better than expectations? very nice affectation there! 🤘 i salute you sir!
I was curious but you have made me quite intrigued to check it out. Well put.
Man, I didn't expect to like this movie so much! It made me feel so tense I actually wanted to leave the cinema at some point! 😂
There's so much to love about this, absolutely creepy, glad we're getting so many great horror movies this year.
Always enjoy your reviews mate, thanks. Peace and Love
Chris when is your movie coming out ! Cant wait to watch it ! I hope it is screened world wide.
Okay. I’m definitely checking this one out. But I’m surprised you haven’t done Late Night with the Devil yet.
The movie was creepy and scary and intense as fuck fans of Richard donners classic won’t be disappointed
Chris, you have to watch Late night with the devil if you havent already. It is a very creative, well done horror movie. Best horror movie ive seen in a while
he already saw it. hope he reviews it
Glad this is getting good reviews. I’m getting Possession vibes as well from the performance. So happy studios are starting to release suspense and story are more important than loud sounds and jump scares.
Well well, this is surprising, and Chris's review is very reminiscent of when he reviewed Hereditary. Can't wait to see this. Thanks!
It's no Hereditary.
@@primalplasmaIn all fairness, Hereditary is a once in a generation horror movie classic. It's on a similar level as the Exorcist and Rosemary's baby.

Btw long time fan Chris love everything you do man! You’re a legend 🔥
that scene in the Bad Room .... holy shit man
2:04 I was wondering where I'd seen her before. She was brilliant in Servant!
Saw it late last night, and I was floored by how excellent it is.
Thanks for letting me know about 35mm. Got tickets for that!
The first Omen us right next to the Omen. Watch these back to back. Love it!
Sitting in the theater right now waiting for it to start. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good horror movie at the theaters. Pumped!
I'm so impressed with the lead. That scene after the car? I heard that the director whispered in her ear before filming that to freak them the f out. And she did. People were walking off set

phenomenal movie! I watched it today and I mist confess it is so much better than I expected. The actress who plays Margaret did a superb job! 5 stars.
If you're looking for more horror classics, I'm curious if you've ever seen Jacob's Ladder. It's a rare example of a horror movie with a rather uplifting and inspirational message.
I never clicked so fast. It means for me, Chris is the truth.
Stuckman interior monologue: “Thank God I’m able to review this.”
Thanks for the Review, my dude!
Chris always nails it so Im gonna go. Thanks again!
Loved the whole production, director, DOP, casting, art direction etc. This is a real good one. As a major horror fan and fan of The Omen, I haven't been impressed by any movie in a while. Nell Tiger Free and Ralph Ineson, who I loved in the Witch, are really amazing actors.
Possession was mentioned. This is already high praise.
After Exorcist: Believer I thought I'd wait to see the reviews for this one and now I'm kicking myself for it, would have loved the feeling of realizing that I was watching a well made film
Going to the theater to see this tomorrow, im so pumped for this film!
You have 2.04M subscribers. I tend to trust your judgement and respect your appraisals. I have been a 'fan' of The Omen since before you were born.
You had better be bloody right on this because your review is the only reason I'm going to give this flick eyeballs. (if you're wrong, one of your 2.04 is going to be mighty miffed off with you Mr Stuck.)
In The Omen (1976) movie, wasn't Damien born from a Jackal (a dog)?
Yes.
Daddy
Yes,that’s correct.
Yes, they should've kept the original plot.
The Jackal was the father and the thing burning at the end of the movie. They should have made that more apparent though.
Saw the movie in theaters twice , absolutely one of the most carefully made horror films ,, the director really put an effort to capture exquisite details !!
Acting is brilliant in some scenes ,, the director again definitely respected the actors abilities and expressions ,, it was perfect ,, soundtracks and cinematography were on spot !!
The director really did her homework, and the cast did a really good job I also loveed the twist I wasn’t expecting that
For a long time I stopped caring about horror movies but this was absolutely fantastic and very different! I enjoyed the ending and there were a lot of great scenes that were just shot beautifully! This and immaculate have been sooo good!!
That possessed scene was Perfect . I honestly don’t know how she did it 😂
I saw it yesterday and I will say it is one of the best horror movies I have ever seen! I had no expectation’s and being a fan of the original. The First Omen did it Justice. You are right.

We deserve more of this amazing story to move forward somehow. I can’t say enough how much I loved it and will say. They did a legendary actor right in the end. So glad it was incorporated!
Question does it help to see the original Omen before this movie? Or am I fine watching it after? Sometimes gets tricky with prequels.
Wow, was not expecting this review from this film, but it’s awesome to hear.
~_~
I wasn't planning on watching this bc it seem to me another one of those films with a lot of jump scares. But I hv been seeing a lot of good reviews on this one and hearing you praise the movie now makes me want to watch it, I trust your reviews bc I find my taste in movies similar to yours 😄 now I'm looking forward to watching this, probably this weekend.

The room mate Luz. What a transformation into pure evil she became. If they make a sequel. I truly hope they bring her back.
Maaan I keep checking his uploads to see if he's reviewed Late Night With The Devil
Please do more feature presentation, please keep it continue
Did you ever review ‘Possession’? Frederic Tuten the co-writer was my creative writing teacher in college
thanks chris, wouldnt have seen this film without seeing that you posted a vid on it.
This movie is such a great companion piece/ prequel. It matches the tone and aesthetic of the original but still has modern touches and some nice atmospheric scares. And Nell is fantastic as Margaret! Was very pleasantly surprised at how good it was
Please do more feature presentations!!!
I did not expect to love this movie so much. She deserves all the awards.
Thanks for the review! Taking my wife out on a rare date away from the kids and wasnt sure if this was going to be would be worth our time and money.
One of the scariest movie theater experience I’ve had in a while.
Really should I watch that movie??
@@shauryashimpi1143It's not scary at all. The same shitty noisy jumpscares. It's a bit gory because it shows some brutal scenes, but nothing interesting. Those who say this is scary probably watched 2 horror movies all their life.
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilmethis movie has literally the same atmosphere work as the original The omen, the movie is just not for you then
yes. It is scary. The original omen is almost 50 years old but this one captures the tone and spirit of the original in a remarkable way. It is highly disturbing and grotesque. The horror is there, but it comes from the disturbing nature and thought of a demonic child and the horror the church is comitting to make it happen. Its a film that lets the abhorrent nature of the acts being committed scare you, not ghosts jumping out at you to scare you.
A good review , made me want to see the film. Thanks.
You are a brilliant reviewer thanks 🙏
The director hopes for more Omen movies at this point, and wouldn't it be cool if FOX would do that? THAT I'm sold on if they can keep the momentum going.
Just saw it and thought it was great.
One thing not mentioned was the trailer was amazingly done.
Should be awards for trailers.
Would love to hear your opinion on late night with devil
Nice review! Thank you for the video!
