It seems evil is afoot! 20th Century Studios just dropped a new trailer for the upcoming prequel to The Omen (1976). In addition to the bad vibes this peak at The First Omen gave us, it also confirmed that we have a date with darkness when the movie arrives in theaters on April 5, 2024. Here’s everything you need to know about this bundle of hell.
