The First Omen first pulled a clever twist by revealing that Satan had already birthed multiple children before he had Damien. However, the film shows that most of these children never survived to adulthood and that the Devil needs to mate with one of his daughters to birth the male Antichrist. The film presents Carlita as the one who would become the mother, only to reveal near the end that Sister Margaret is Satan’s daughter as well.
The First Omen’s twist ending makes its audience rethink everything they knew about Margaret and their preconceived notions about evil after sympathizing with her and her plight.
Margaret realizes her whole life, including her trip to Rome, was planned out by religious radicals so she would give birth to the Antichrist. This twist may be very similar to Rosemary’s Baby, but The First Omen puts a unique spin on it. By revealing that the film’s protagonist is the daughter of the Devil, The First Omen’s twist ending makes its audience rethink everything they knew about Margaret and their preconceived notions about evil after sympathizing with her and her plight.

Unlike other twist endings in 2024, Conclave‘s plot twist comes completely out of nowhere, as there are hardly any hints before this. However, the fact that the previous Pope knew the truth and made Benitez a cardinal anyway conveys a surprising but inspiring religious message of acceptance. It also upends the traditionally patriarchal structure of the Catholic Church that the film spends much time analyzing, adding to Conclave‘s message about religion progressing in the modern world.
