Hannah Taylor

In 1976, a father secretly replaces his child, who he’s told died shortly after birth, with another: Damien, a boy born at six am on the sixth day of the sixth month. As violent deaths and inexplainable events occur, he eventually comes to learn his adopted child is in fact the prophesised Antichrist. That’s the chilling beginnings of one of cinema’s most popular and enduring horror stories… until now.

The fifth instalment in the iconic horror franchise arrives almost fifty years after the original and turns back the clock to reveal the origin story of the infamous devil child. A prequel to Richard Donner’s 1976 The Omen, this story heads back to the birth of evil and follows a young American woman who’s sent to Italy to dedicate her life to the church, but soon finds herself questioning her faith when she’s caught in the centre of a dark conspiracy. The devil incarnate is due to consume the city of Rome.

Brought to the screen by director Arkasha Stevenson, the very first film to explore this dark origin story features a cast led by Nell Tiger Free with Bill Nighy, Sônia Braga, and Ralph Ineson in support.
