The terrifying revival of religious horror: ‘The First Omen’ hits theatres.

by

‘The First Prophecy’, a film that adds to the growing trend of films exploring ecclesiastical horror has arrived in cinemas. While Richard Donner’s ‘The Prophecy’ sought to emulate the suspense of ‘The Exorcist’ (1973), ‘The First Prophecy’ dives into the recent wave of terrifying nuns that has dominated cinemas in the last year.

Directed by Arkasha Stevenson, known for her work on TV nightmares alongside Nick Antosca, the film explores the terrors inherent in motherhood, evoking reminiscences of ‘The Devil’s Seed’ (1968). With a pregnancy that becomes a possession, the plot delves into the horrors of a creature lurking within, struggling to emerge and multiply amidst excruciating pain.

Costume Designer: Paco Delgado.

Peris Costumes is proud to have participated in this project. The cast headed by Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom, Sonia Braga, Ralph Ineson and Bill Nighy, promises an immersive and terrifying cinematic experience.
