The First Omen's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
"The whole thing is so provocative, beautifully cinematic and in touch with its head-decapitating roots".
El Periódico
"The prequel we deserve (...) is an extraordinary film (...) a stunning debut (...) The art direction, photography and planning are exquisite. As is the design of the horror scenes".
La Vanguardia
"The tone, the unsettling atmosphere and the mise-en-scène are acceptable (...) So is the cast (...) The script is not up to the mark, but the whole breathes a healthy air of satisfyingly manufactured genre cinema".
Variety
"Stevenson\'s consistently unsettling and gleefully sacrilegious offering packs its share of legitimate shocks en route to one glaringly obvious "surprise."
The Hollywood Reporter
"While the events in the first Omen seemed to be taking place in a real world that just happened to include demonic figures, this film seems more like a fever dream, its outlandish storyline taking a back seat to a nightmarish vision that\'s more about mood than narrative coherence".
