First reactions to The Omen prequel say it's religious horror's answer to Star Wars' Rogue One

Nell Tiger Free as Margaret and Nicole Sorace as Carlita in The First Omen.

The first reactions to The Omen prequel The First Omen are in, and they're overwhelmingly positive... and feature interesting comparisons to films like Rosemary's Baby, Possession, and... Star Wars: A Rogue One Story.

Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, the new movie follows Margaret (Servant's Nell Tiger Free), a twentysomething novitiate, who travels from the US to Italy to start a new life of religious servitude. Once there, she strikes up a fast friendship with Carlita, a young girl at the school she's been assigned to teach at, who seems to be constantly punished and unfairly put in isolation by her superiors.
