IR Film Review: THE FIRST OMEN [20th Century Studios]

The aspect of a horror film needs to create dread while also being acary psychologically and not just in a gore context. "The First Omen", despite treading some of the same ground as "Immaculate", accomplishes this admirably creating a sense of old school with its shooting style and tone (while being set in the early 70s in Rome) while also not pulling back and making the characters unbelievable.
