The Legendary Franchise
The original “The Omen” told the terrifying tale of Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and his wife, Katherine “Kathy” Thorn (Lee Remick), who adopted a son named Damien (Harvey Spencer Stevens). As the story unfolds, a series of ominous events reveal that Damien is not just any child, but the son of Satan himself, the Antichrist. Directed by Richard Donner and written by David Seltzer, “The Omen” captivated audiences worldwide.
An Evolution of Fear
Following the colossal success of “The Omen” with a box office performance of over $60 million, the franchise continued with three sequels: “Damien: Omen II” (1978), “Omen III: The Final Conflict” (1981), and “Omen IV: The Awakening” (1991). In 2006, a remake of the film starring Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles was released. The franchise also expanded to television with the series “Damien” in 2016, which depicted the adult Damien Thorn (Bradley James) embracing his role as the Antichrist. However, “The First Omen” is the first prequel in this chilling saga.
