The First Omen (2024)

Our 2024 look back continues with Dalton's selection—the prequel horror film The First Omen. From 20th Century Fox, Arkasha Stevenson's nunsploitation attempted to breath new life into an on again/off again franchise. But, does it give birth to something new? We discuss Italy's "Years of Lead" and current political and societal concerns, the Catholic church, institutions of power, and much, much more. Join us, as we bring The First Omen to the analysis table.
