The First Omen.
Prequel to the original.
A valiant attempt to make a film that marries up with the original, that ultimately fails.
It’s filmed in a way, that tries to give the impression that it was filmed in the 70’s, which makes it feel all arty and like a Hammer Horror reproduction.
It’s not all bad, the setting in Italy is beautiful, the lead is really good and generally the writing and acting is good.
It’s just that nothing really happens for a big chunk of the film and it doesn’t really get going until about half way through.
It’d be a good one to watch at home by yourself.
They’ve left the ending open for another film to link in with the first.
