The origin story of '666' to be unveiled in The First Omen

The Omen (1976) won critical and commercial acclaim back when it was released and it continues to hold thrall among the horror-loving audience.

The evil number '666', according to Biblical mythology, was given a powerful depiction in the first installment of The Omen franchise.

The upcoming 6th film of the Omen franchise will reveal a peculiar connection of the unholy number ‘666’. This terrifying sequence of numbers is perceived as that of the ‘antichrist’ or the evil throughout the world, and sheds light on the evil incarnate. Much alike the dreadful origins of the number, a brand new poster for The First Omen teases the birth of the evil on the ‘6th Month, 6th Day and the 6th Hour’ which only darkens the mystery behind the fearful evil creation.

The First Omen trailer, which released recently, laid emphasis on the number sequence and has raised a question "Where is the jackal?" among the audience, which is about Damien's actual mother who is a jackal. Since the trailer doesn't show the jackal and we were only able to get glimpses of human females giving birth it remains to be seen how exactly was Damien born.

Prequel to the 1976 film follows a follows a young American woman Margaret, who encounters darkness that causes her to question her own faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of an evil incarnate.

Directed by Arkasha Stevenson based on characters created by David Seltzer, The First Omen stars Nell Tiger Free, Tawfeek Barhom, Sonia Braga, Ralph Ineson, with Charles Dance, and Bill Nighy in pivotal roles.

The film releases in Indian theatres on April 5.
