The First Omen is a prequel to The Omen franchise for which horror fans will go ecstatic. This movie tells the story of the birth of the Anti-Christ baby Damien amid a terrifying religious conspiracy. This trailer surprisingly reveals very little about the movie, which is a sign of a good trailer. Perhaps it will turn out to be a great movie after a string of failures preceded by the last two recent rebooted Halloween movies helmed by David Gordon Green, Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and last year’s The Exorcist: Believer also helmed by Green. Here’s the official synopsis and trailer:
