YMMV / The First Omen

• Complete Monster: Cardinal Lawrence is the leader of a conspiracy within the Catholic Church. His outwardly friendly demeanor masks a depraved and calculating mind that is responsible for some unspeakable crimes. On Lawrence's orders, over a dozen women are raped by a demonic jackal with the goal of creating an Antichrist who will prove so terrifying that people will have no choice but to turn away from secularism and back to the Church. Given that the conspiracy is ultimately successful with the birth of Damien, Lawrence can be blamed for the many innocent lives lost throughout the series.
• Most Wonderful Sound: Face it - it's a true delight to hear Ave Satani once again after so long, the fact that the theme is only used during the most important part -the birth of the antichrist, adds a lot to it.
• Realism-Induced Horror: Barring the supernatural aspects, the most horrifying part is the mass rape of nuns being done by the Catholic Church, bringing to mind the Catholic Church child molestation scandals of the late 20th-early 21st century. There's also the motive behind the mass rapes in an attempt to produce the Antichrist: it's an attempt to stop secularism by bringing out a force so terrifying that people will turn to the Church. This harkens to religious fundamentalists who try to force conversion on nonbelievers just simply because they can't stand someone not being a practitioner of their beliefs. It also brings the use of false flag attacks to manipulate the masses into supporting the perpetrators' side, not realizing that their saviors are the perpetrators, such as the Reichstag fire perpetrated by the Nazis that Hitler used to justify consolidating power onto himself.
• Squick: A clawed hand emerges from a woman's vagina - complete with close up! Cue Margaret, and probably a few of the audience members, fainting.
