While The First Omen’s earliest trailer isn’t perfect, it is still a lot more promising than 2023’s most disastrous horror legacy follow-up. It is never easy to reboot an iconic horror franchise, but this is particularly tricky when it comes to supernatural horror. Scream (2022) had a hard job making Ghostface scary again, but the slasher movie could fall back on its whodunit mystery elements in the lulls between chase scenes and kills. In contrast, supernatural horror reboots must slowly build up dread while hinting at an unknowable evil lurking in the shadows. The problem is, viewers who are familiar with the original movies already know the villains.
