PLOT: A young woman begins to question her faith and uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that hopes to bring about the birth of the antichrist.

Yup, Rosemary's Baby...redux!

Jesus, what is Hollywood's obsession with the "Devil" and "Possession" that they make so many of these dumb movies?? Has Hollywood really run out of ideas or what??

It's reasonable to assume this film will have a chalky aftertaste.

Good point, that doesn't even fit the canon established by The Omen, but it DOES perfectly fit the canon of Rosemary's Baby!

I don't think Millennial and Gen Z audiences could have handled the jackal mother business. Their reactions would have been all "Dude! WTF!?!"

I was going to say, Damien's back story is different than Rosemary's Baby. Sounds like they are retconning to make it more like that movie. Not surprised.
