Recent developments in the horror genre have seen a resurgence of interest in the origins of long-running franchises, with prequels becoming a popular trend. One such example is the latest installment in the 'Omen' series, titled 'The First Omen,' which delves into the backstory of the infamous Antichrist, Damien.
Set in 1971, 'The First Omen' serves as a prequel to the original film, creatively exploring the circumstances surrounding Damien's birth and conception. The movie cleverly incorporates references that foreshadow the events of the classic trilogy, adding to the ominous atmosphere for fans of the franchise.
