The horror movie world is littered with prequels. Occasionally, some are great (Orphan First Kill, Annabelle Creation), most are pretty terrible (we don’t have to list those here), and at least a few are surprisingly interesting (Leatherface, Alien: Covenant, Dominion: A Prequel to The Exorcist). Now The Omen is adding a new prequel of its own to the list, called The First Omen, and the initial teaser seems to start things off on the right track.
The teaser, which was released on Wednesday, plays everything in reverse to make sure the Satanic panic vibes are rolling nice and strong. We see a convent, and a woman who seems to be a nun having a child — presumably Damien himself — along with a few flashes of demonic images that tease a pretty fun horror movie.
While the teaser itself is light on plot details, its YouTube description is a little more revealing:
When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
Returns to horror franchises haven’t had a great track record lately, between Netflix’s stab at a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie and last year’s awful Exorcist entry. But it’s never a bad time for the on-screen return of the Antichrist, and The First Omen already seems to be taking a more fun and unique tone than either of those dour and self-serious films.
The First Omen stars Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones), Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest), and Ralph Ineson (The Witch). The film is directed by Arkasha Stevenson (Legion). The movie is set to be released in theaters on April 5.

A new trailer for the video game was finally revealed at the Xbox Developer Direct 2024 event, showing the famous archaeologist in action. The new game, titled, is developed by MachineGames and LucasFilm Games, and published by Bethesda Softworks. It tells an original story that has never been explored in the movie franchise starring actor Harrison Ford. Nevertheless, the title still follows Indy on a new adventure around the globe. Little was known about the game so far, but this new trailer sheds some light on what players can expect.

The latest iteration of Motorola's ultra-affordable Moto G Play arrives on February 8th. It looks to be an excellent upgrade over its predecessor, and at $150, it's actually $20 cheaper than last year's model.
Ubisoft appears to be developing a Far Cry spin-off based on the Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix animated series, some newly emerged evidence suggests.

Rewinding time to the earliest days of Rome, from a time before the republic was founded, Citadelum is a city builder with a little bit of a difference. Sure, you’re founding a settlement, looking to grow and expand, but you’ll be doing so while the pantheon of gods can walk among your populace.

Echo has arrived and despite its smaller scale, it couldn’t help but shakeup its own small corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe at least a little bit. Marvel’s first Spotlight series released all five episodes on Tuesday night, but it isn’t until the final moments of the series the show makes its own ripples. In usual Marvel fashion, the reveal came during a brief mid-credits scene.
Of all the predictions I could have made for 2024, a feature-length movie follow-up to 2020’s chaotic, vivid anime series Great Pretender certainly wasn’t one of them. The 23-episode heist comedy series, directed by Hiro Kaburagi (91 Days, Speed Grapher) and written by screenwriter Ryōta Kosawa, made a splash when it premiered on Netflix, earning its way onto best-of-the-year lists with its colorful characters and striking art direction. After nearly three years of silence, the series is returning with an all-new adventure playing in select American theaters only on Jan. 9 and 10, ahead of the Feb. 23 Japanese premiere.
