The First Omen, right? May go see it this week. Fennessey pointed out on The Big Picture podcast of an abrasive shot in it that’s NC-17 worthy and was the ultimate reason why the studio picked the film up. I heard rumors beforehand and thought it was fluff for marketing purposes, but it seems like this one actually delivered. Also heard it doesn’t really rely on jumpscares.why is no one talking about the omen in here
do we actually discuss movies in here or just post trailers

Skinamarink killed theater horror for me
Between all the idiots coughing up lungs in the theater with no masks on, talking about, "its just allergies"
the hype for the movie was better than the actual flick
I walked out like
and drove 35 miles to watch that shyt too, gave myself the
But i ran my @$$ right back out to watch Winnie the poo Blood and honey
which was probably just as bad
so my choices in theater visits need to be examined
I usually wait till streaming now if it gets a lot of buzz in this thread
Plus, i got a backlog of about 1500 flicks (really)
I got into 80's horror again ( some 90's) and trying to watch damn near every 80's movie released
for the First Omen, Imma holla at you in 2027 if the sites still around
or we're not banned or something.
How dare you diss my taste in horror movies!The OG one. One person said not worth buying, you say yes.
I’m tempted to go with the other guy’s opinion just because you like Afflicted and MSTT and I didn’t care much for them.
See I love 80s slasher horror to the point that I can find something enjoyable about even the really really bad ones .
I was shocked by how much I enjoyed The First Omen too especially when I dismissed it after watching the trailer.The First Omen was surprisingly great.
shyt was dark
Solid 8/10 for me
Tyrese be popping up in some awful movies outside of the FF franchise. Hopefully this one isn't as bad as the last movie with him in it that I watched...think it was called Squealer. shyt was garbage.
Maxxxine looks so good.
The only thing I have any issue with is including the Night Stalker in it instead of a made-up serial killer.
Did you like it?why is no one talking about the omen in here

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up liking it.
I thought Arkasha Stevenson showed a sold hand in her directorial debut and Nell Tiger Free was really good.
Not sure about some of the continuity issues that I've seen other people grumbling about because I'm not that steeped in Omen lore like that but I felt that the movie delivered a pretty cool origin for Damien and left things open enough that there is a lot of room for sequels to expand on the story even more.
Blumhouse hasn't been setting the world on fire with their movies for awhile so not sure how confident I am about them making quality remakes of Lionsgate's horror library.
And in the case of Blair Witch I am curious what they can bring to the found footage nature of the original that doesn't just make it a copy.
I guess it will all depend on the creatives that get attached to the movies so hopefully they get people with the talent to remake these movies in a refreshing way.
Of the Lionsgate horror library, the movie I would personally be most interested in seeing re-made is The Descent.

I have no interest to watch The First Omen because I’m just not into the franchise. Saw the first 4 and aside from the first one, the rest were forgettable.

I love slasher films, my favorite sub genre in horror, but I need good violence and gore to like it. That’s why I wasn’t big on The Burning and Stage Fright, which get props in here.
The Burning is pretty run of the mill but I love Stage Fright. That melding of Giallo with American slasher tropes was awesome to me. Plus I like Soavi's directing style and think he gets forgotten because everyone always focuses on the bigger names (Argento, Fulci, Bava).
