Viewers claim 'horror movie of the year' is so terrifying they were 'sick to their stomachs' and left in tears

Film junkies can't get enough of the 'horror movie of the year'

Personally, I cannot think of anything worse than sitting down to watch a horror. But it's certainly other people's jam.

And if you're a fan of that genre, you are certainly spoilt for choice.

While you can stick on classics like Halloween or The Exorcist, you could always try a new film that is already being dubbed 'horror movie of the year'.

However, this movie certainly isn't for the faint hearted, as it has left some viewers in tears and 'sick to their stomachs'.

The First Omen released in cinemas earlier this month and fans just can't get enough.

The horror is a prequel to the 1976 Richard Donner classic, making it the sixth film in the series overall.

It follows an American woman who is sent to Rome to begin a life of service to the church. But as is the case with all horror films, things take a very twisted and sinister turn.

She uncovers a conspiracy to bring about the birth of the antichrist, as a darkness causes her to question her faith and the terrifying conspiracy threatens to change everything.

And as you'd come to expect with all good horror flicks, The First Omen features jump scares and high tension.

Since its release in cinemas across the globe, many have heaped praise on The First Omen after being left terrified.

"The First Omen is the best movie of the year so far. Female directors are coming for y’all’s f**king necks," one person commented on X.

"The First Omen had like 5 sequences that left me feeling sick to my stomach and utterly terrified," a second added. "Pretty miraculous stuff. Lucky enough to have seen this beauty on 35mm, Arkasha Stevenson’s got the juice."

While a third remarked: "Fully blown away by The First Omen. Apologies for sounding like Harry Styles promoting Don’t Worry Darling at Cannes but this is the first horror movie I’ve seen in forever that feels like a f**kin MOVIE. At least two moments here legit had me almost levitating outta my seat. Wow."

The First Omen sits at an impressive 80 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it a clear recommendation from critics.

Ed Potton, from The Times, wrote: "As for the graphic birth scenes, let’s just say that one of these is definitely not born every minute. This is Call the Midwife directed by Satan."

While the Los Angeles Times' Joshua Rothkopf penned: "If you ever wanted to spoil an omen with an omen beforehand, it should get you converted for a couple of hours."
