Storyline:
Before the Antichrist, there was the plan to bring him into the world.

The First Omen (2024) serves as a prequel to the legendary 1976 horror film, diving into the origin story of evil incarnate. The story follows Margaret, a devout young American sent to Rome to begin her life as a servant of the church.

But beneath the sacred marble and incense-soaked halls, Margaret begins to feel something is deeply wrong—visions, whispers, and unexplained horrors follow her every step. As her sense of reality fractures, she stumbles upon a secret Vatican conspiracy, one rooted in ancient prophecy and sinister ritual.

At the heart of it all is a plan: the conception of the Antichrist, engineered not by demons, but by those hiding behind holy symbols.

Margaret must choose between obedience to faith or exposing the darkness from within—a decision that may cost her soul.
