In a free society the right to critique art is essential and protected speech. These reviews reflect personal opinions and not statements of fact.

What We Think

The First Omen is a prime example of modern horror that sacrifices narrative and character richness for ideological messaging, especially by targeting religion and tradition. The film leans heavily into a woke worldview and gives little breathing room to genuine moral debate.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The film places heavy emphasis on identity themes, such as gender and institutional power, arguably overshadowing traditional horror elements and character depth. Casting and character arcs appear more focused on representing modern ideological concerns than purely serving the genre or narrative coherence.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Traditional religious institutions, especially the Catholic Church, are depicted as deeply corrupt, oppressive, and complicit in horrific events. The film seems to reframe historical and religious themes to emphasize institutional failing, creating an overall message at odds with conventional values.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

There is little to no sincere portrayal of traditional or dissenting perspectives; instead, any such views are shown as regressive or outright villainous. Characters that align with modern ideological assumptions are clearly favored by the story's moral compass.
