"The First Omen" is a glaring example of how the horror genre can still be exploited for shock value while hiding behind the guise of artistic merit. Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, this film pretends to offer a fresh take on Catholic horror, but let’s be real—it’s just another tired repackaging of old tropes. The character development is lackluster, and the plot twists feel forced and predictable. Nell Tiger Free's performance as Margaret may be the only saving grace, but does that really justify the two hours of drudgery? It’s disturbing, sure, but not in a good way. It’s time we stop giving passes to films that rely on sensationalism rather than genuine storytelling. #TheFirstOmen
