A battle with the rating board is mild compared to the bizarre things that happened on the set of «The Omen,» but it was still a challenge, albeit one that led to an acclaimed prequel movie. Film critic Eric Goldman wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, that «The First Omen» is a scary horror flick with some wild scenes, including one that led to the audience applauding. Could this scene be the sequence that appalled the censors?
While the vagina scene is particularly noteworthy due to this being a mainstream release, some viewers have noted that the movie is full of surprising moments, not to mention some nice nods to classic horror flicks. «Holy Hell. I’d expect a horror this unrepentantly ghoulish from a small studio, not 20th Century. Graphic, grisly, and with a protracted homage to Possession,» @YorkshireTX wrote. Meanwhile, Dread Central critic Mary Beth McAndrews praised «The First Omen» for being as thoughtful as it is repulsive, especially for how it explores disturbing subject matter with real-world connotations.
«The First Omen» might be one horror movie that some viewers find too disturbing to finish. Still, regardless of how it fares in the long run, it will go down in history as a Disney flick that almost got an NC-17 rating. For a horror movie, that’s a badge of honor.
