Now available on Hulu.
As “The First Omen” makes its grand entrance into cinemas this month, it’s the perfect time to revisit the classic that started it all. Hulu offers the perfect opportunity (and while they also have the other installments available, the original “The Omen” is the essential watch). In this terrifying tale, diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) is devastated to learn of his baby’s death at childbirth. Unbeknownst to his wife (Lee Remick), at the same moment, another child was born under ominous circumstances — his mother died as she gave birth. Thorn is presented with a fateful decision: adopt this orphaned child and raise it as his own, without telling his wife. A decision he promptly makes but regrets when he discovers the child, Damien, is no ordinary boy but the antichrist. As Damien grows, so does the string of unexplained and fatal incidents around him, a grim reminder of his true sinister nature. With its grandiose composition and Jerry Goldsmith’s haunting score, “The Omen” is a staple of hair-raising, melodramatic horror.
