Nell Tiger Free as Margaret in The First Omen.
The Big Picture The First Omen, directed by Arkasha Stevenson, reinvents The Omen franchise in the way it combines the religious themes the series is known for with unsettling and graphic body horror. Much of the story's focus is on Margaret uncovering the dark secrets hidden by the church. Initially guided by her mentor, Cardinal Lawrence , Margaret begins to find answers through Father Brennan , a priest who has begun to discover the conspiracies within the church.
The First Omen Horror A young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, but encounters a darkness that causes her to question her faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate. As Margaret travels to the orphanage in Rome, the graphic body horror continues and knits a thread through the whole movie. Stevenson varies the way she utilizes body horror, so it doesn't feel like it is done simply for shock value but instead with intention. One of the first things Margaret encounters is a woman giving birth, which Cardinal Lawrence comments is a shocking sight to anyone who hasn't seen it before.
Nell Tiger Free's Physical Performance in 'The First Omen' Is Inspired by 'Possession' Close For all the visceral imagery of The First Omen, the movie owes a lot of its success to the physical performance of Nell Tiger Free. Throughout the runtime, she portrays the way her inner demons are tormenting her so viciously in the way she contorts her body. She noted that Isabelle Adjani's performance in Possession was a source of inspiration for her.
