Nell Tiger Free as Margaret and Nicole Sorace as Carlita, concerned and looking up at something in The First Omen
The Big Picture The First Omen is a return to a franchise that may not hold as much weight as its 1970s horror contemporaries, but is iconic enough to maintain a legacy. The latest addition takes a lot from its predecessor, creating a slow burn-style horror that relies more on atmosphere and imagery than creepy jump scares. It makes for a refreshing approach to the nearly 50-year-old franchise that is sure to leave an impression on audiences.

The Omen even won an Academy Award for its iconic score.
How Arkasha Stevenson Pitched 'The First Omen' Close In a recent interview with Sean Fennessey on The Big Picture podcast, Stevenson detailed her path to filmmaking and The First Omen. Inspired by seeing Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me at a bar in Los Angeles and subsequently watching another David Lynch film , she left her career as a photojournalist and applied to Lynch's alma mater, the American Film Institute.
"This is a movie about sexual assault and the female form getting mutilated and violated. If we're going to tell this story, we're going to do it with imagery like this," Stevenson said to Fennessey. She stuck to her pitch, and Goyer and Turen responded positively. Stevenson was offered the job and began re-writing the script with Smith.
