The First Omen

It’s called The First Omen, but it picks-up in the middle of a Catholic Church conspiracy where there’ve already been plenty of previous omens. The “nuns-ploitation” unfolds in a predictable way, and seems to be intent on being an allegory for what happens when an authority (evil nuns) takes away abortion rights from young women who have been impregnated by beings by whom they didn’t choose to be impregnated. The principal nun (Nell Tiger Free) commits to the bit and handles the possession devil-baby stuff with aplomb. More yucky than scary.
