The First Omen Review

'The First Omen' Predictably Expands on the Franchise's Mythology. Director Arkasha Stevenson cleverly connects this prequel to the original, but it suffers from pacing issues despite a strong performance from Nell Tiger Free.

‘The Fist Omen’ successfully connects to the mythology of the original ‘The Omen’ with a strong opening sequence and third act but suffers from pacing issues throughout. Director Arkasha Stevenson crafts some solid scares but fails to keep the momentum building through the second act. However, Nell Tiger Free’s fearless performance carries the movie with the help of strong supporting performances from Maria Caballero, Sônia Braga, Ralph Ineson and Bill Nighy.
