Sonia Braga and Nell Tiger Free in The First Omen

The Big Picture Dante Alighieri's legendary "Inferno," the first of three parts making up his epic poem The Divine Comedy, has served as inspiration or a direct reference for countless stories across all mediums for its depiction of Hell and the journey closer to God. In 2024, the concept of descending into the depths of despair and sin was once again invoked for The First Omen, director Arkasha Stevenson's prequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen.

The First Omen's arrival on digital will bring with it plenty more behind-the-scenes goodies exploring all aspects of the horror feature's creation. "The Mystery of Margaret," for one, focuses on Free's character's journey to prevent the arrival of Damien, with her castmates Bill Nighy and Maria Caballero chiming in along with Stevenson.

Assuming another Omen film follows Stevenson's revitalization of the franchise, the director has some ideas about where it could go. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, she expressed interest in covering the Jackal, a demonic entity that plays a major role in conceiving the Antichrist and represents a connection between the afterlife and the living world in the franchise.
