  • Every first feature is a massive challenge and monumental achievement, but a feature directorial debut doesn’t get much bigger than making a new The Omen movie with a company like 20th Century Studios at your back. After directing episodes of Channel Zero, Legion, Briarpatch and Brand New Cherry Flavor, that’s the opportunity first-time feature filmmaker Arkasha Stevenson scored.
    The First Omen is a prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner-directed classic. It introduces Nell Tiger Free as Margaret, a young American novitiate who goes to Rome to work at an orphanage before taking the veil. She’s thrilled to start heading down this new path, convinced it’s her destiny, but soon comes to realize she’s right smack in the middle of an extremely dark and sinister conspiracy, one that causes her to question her faith.
    In celebration of The First Omen’s April 5th release, Stevenson joined me for an extended interview to recap her journey from studying photojournalism to contributing to one of the most legendary horror film franchises of all time.

    Omg, Arkasha Stevenson seems like the best person ever and so far all the stuff she’s made has been epic. Will be exciting to watch her career flourish!

    Just saw the film- one of the best horrors I've seen in some time, and her direction was perfect. The suspense and atmosphere were top notch, and all her directorial choices served the story perfectly. Very mature, effective filmmaking. I'm officially a fan, and will be looking forward to whatever she does next.

    Having seen the movie and really liking it, I thought it was very eel made, probably one of the best horror prequels I think I’ve ever seen in fact, this interview was my first time being introduced to Arkasha and I must say she comes across as a lovely person, very sweet and ultra talented. Can’t wait to see more of her work and hopefully a sequel to The First Omen

    Arkasha you have made an amazing first feature that took me back to the terror and dread I felt as a child watching the first donner Omen movie. Your film is beautiful, gnarly, unhygienic and terrifying. I can pay you no higher compliment ❤️

    Now i’m thinking there should be a spin off from “The Omen” franchise. a series called “The Chronicles of Buganhagen” it would show him as a young man just starting out in the priesthood then eventually he would notice and become experienced with demon possession and exorcism and later become an exorcist. He always seemed like a mysterious interesting charecter to me. I’d like to see a series about him.

    This film deserves so much love, because it seems like the 20CS marketing department has royally FU with it.
    Anyways, I saw _Immaculate_ and TFO as a double feature this past Sunday. I really enjoy both films, but kind of pissed at the climax of TFO, through no fault of the creative team, because the possibe ending was set in stone due to it being a prequel.
