The First Omen Horror movie 2024
When a young American woman is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church, she encounters a darkness that causes her to question her faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of evil incarnate.
Father Brennan presses Father Harris about a photo of a baby, “Scianna”, but Harris is unable to speak of it. He mentions it was an unnatural birth. On the church steps, a construction accident ensues and a pipe falls, cleaving a portion of Harris's skull off. He is left with a bloody grimace.
In Rome 1971 amidst civil rights protests, American novitiate Margaret Daino arrives at Vizzardeli Orphanage to take her vows. There, she meets five people: young artist Carlita, eccentric roommate Luz, odd-mannered Anjelica, Cardinal Lawrence and Sister Silvia, the Abbess. Carlita shows Margaret a drawing of figures restraining a woman onto a bed. Later, Margaret and Luz attend a dance club, where Margaret dances with a boy named Paolo then blacks-out, her memory faded. At the orphanage, she witnesses a woman giving birth, where a demonic hand sprawls out of her birth canal; she blacks-out again.
Margaret quickly forms a bond with Carlita, noticing her active mistreatment from the nuns, including locking her in an isolated room and keeping her away from others. She mentions to Carlita she was similar during her childhood, having vivid auditory and visual hallucinations. Later, Father Brennan meets with Margaret and says to not trust anyone at Vizzardeli and to stay away from Carlita. Margaret spots Anjelica with Carlita and is shown a drawing of a pregnant woman being restrained. Shortly after, Anjelica, doused in gasoline atop the abbey, says, "It's all for you" then self-immolates and hangs herself. Margaret confides in Brennan, who says Carlita is the antichrist and the church has been curating one for years and shows Harris's photo for proof. She refuses to believe it but accepts to get Carlita's files for him.
Margaret questions Father Gabriel if anything is known about Carlita, but he dismisses it. The orphanage attends an art museum and Margaret attempts to pry Carlita about her past to no avail. A riot from protestors ensues and as they leave, Margaret is caught amidst the chaos. She witnesses hallucinations of the demon before grabbing her, which is seen by Sister Silvia, despite nothing being there. Silvia then forces Margaret to leave the orphanage and denies her vows. During the drive, Margaret spots Paolo and begs to know what happened. Paolo is horrified by her, stating "Look for the mark", then is hit by an oncoming truck and impaled against a wall. Margaret attempts to save him but accidentally splits him in two.
Margaret slips out as Luz takes her vows, sneaking off into the building's basement to find the files. She discovers fourteen subject files, each brandished with a 666 mark, all named “Scianna” and disfigured, save for one. She rushes off with the files and Carlita before the nuns ambush and restrain her. Margaret notices the mark on the roof of Carlita's mouth. At night, Father Gabriel unlocks the door and saves her, revealing his solidarity with Brennan.
Margaret notices Carlita doesn't bare the 666 mark on her head despite it being in Brennan's photo. All three examine the files and Margaret links the photo to a file, figuring out she is the baby, not Carlita. A hallucination shows her being impregnated by the prior demonic entity. Terrified of what's in her, she demands an abortion. On the way, their car crashes but Margaret is unaffected. She convulses violently, her water breaks, her womb suddenly fills, and she passes out.
She awakens strapped down, where Lawrence reveals he's planned this for years. All individuals from Vizzardeli are present. She gives birth to two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is heralded as the antichrist. Margaret asks to hold it and stabs Lawrence in the throat, then almost kills her baby before the members take him. The building is set ablaze, but Carlita saves Margaret and the girl. Margaret has a vision of her assaulter, the demonic jackal, burning. The members of Vizzardeli organize a secret adoption, in which the boy is given to American diplomat Robert Thorn to secretly replace the dead unborn child of his wife's supposed miscarriage.
Years later, Margaret, Carlita and the girl have become a happy, secluded family. Brennan arrives to warn Margaret of Vizzardeli, knowing she is still alive, and says the boy has a name now: Damien.
