Genre: Horror
Rating: R
Release Date: 8-AUG-2006
Media Type: DVDPsychological terrorism and supernatural horror have rarely been dramatized as effectively as in this classic 1968 thriller, masterfully adapted and directed by Roman Polanski from the chilling novel by Ira Levin. Rosemary (Mia Farrow) is a young, trusting housewife in New York whose actor husband (John Cassavetes), unbeknownst to her, has literally made a deal with the devil. In the thrall of a witches’ coven headquartered in their apartment building, the young husband arranges to have his wife impregnated by Satan in exchange for success in a Broadway play. To Rosemary, the pregnancy seems like a normal and happy one–that is, until she grows increasingly suspicious of her neighbors’ evil influence. Polanski establishes this seemingly benevolent situation and then introduces each fiendish little detail with such unsettling subtlety that the film escalates to a palpable level of dread and paranoia. By the time Rosemary discovers that her infant son “has his father’s eyes” … well, let’s just say the urge to scream along with her is unbearably intense! One of the few modern horror films that can claim to be genuinely terrifying, Rosemary’s Baby is an unforgettable movie experience, guaranteed to send chills up your spine. –Jeff Shannon

I can summarize why I didn’t like this movie pretty quickly. It was long and boring, and the antichrist wasn’t born until about the end of the movie, and then it was over. Nothing really interesting really happened. I felt like it was a waste of time. If you want a good movie about the incarnation of the antichrist, what The Omen, it’s much more worth the time.

This movie was not as good as it seems. When i first rented it, I thought it was going to be pretty good considering I like classic horror films. But to my belief, it was very boring. The begining was pretty interesting with the couple looking for an appartment to rent, and the dead body in the begining/middle. But after a while it was very bland. Especially the part where she gets pregnant. I actually laughed during one part where she was “floating on a bed in the middle of the ocean”. I rated it one star only because of the connections the movie made at the end with all of its characters. There was only one exciting part where i was saying to myself, “finally” but then it ended very quickly. I thought her decision was ludacris at the end. Don’t waist two hours like i did watching this film.

This stands out in my mind as one of the biggest wastes of time I ever spent watching a movie. The name of the movie is Rosemary’s Baby, the whole movie centers around awaiting the birth of the baby, and after all is said and done, we spend a lot of time being bored and not seeing the baby. Total rip-off. Save your time and money. This movie is complete garbage, regardless of the decent acting.

The TV Guide called it probably the best horror movie ever made. This was supposed to be a classic? I guess it was a classic con-job. Mia’s character, or was it just Mia, was so unbelievable. The whole tale seems so, simplistic? Oh let’s not go over for dinner, oh we will, oh it is so ironic Guy’s suddenly taken a liking to his neighbors. The ‘suggestions’ and red-herrings didn’t help much in alleviating the pain of a sad non-ending. I would recommend this to film buffs only. For me, at the end of two and a half hours, it felt like nothing much had happened.
