Omen Review | Eerie Vibes Aplenty in Four Tales of Sorcery in the Congo
In award-winning musician Baloji's solid directorial debut, a young Congoloese man brings his pregnant fiancée to meet his estranged family.
Not to be confused with the recent release of The First Omen — though perhaps equally impactful — Omen (originally titled Augure in French, which means "oracle" or "soothsayer") is an exciting new indie. The film follows a doomed Congolese man who makes the unfortunate mistake of returning to his roots with his pregnant wife to discover a harsh reality: Ancient beliefs of sorcery and supernatural forces are still at work. What could go wrong with a little family reunion after all these years? Lots.
