Read More I've always heard of this movie and i finally took the time to watch it. The acting is very good, especially by Mia Farrow and the woman who plays the nosy neighbor (who actually won an oscar for her performance), but I would also like to praise the work of Mia Farrow's on-screen husband who succesfully creates a very uncomfortable and unwelcoming household atmosphere. I wouldn't say the movie is THAT scary, but it is creepy, and it is surely a classic. Also, the plot is interesting unlike these teenybopper horror movies they produce these days (e.g. "House of Wax"). However, if you really want to be scared or disturbed, rent Miike's "Audition". Still, "Rosemary's Baby" is a good, well-made movie and although dated, remains extremely watchable and captivating. Enjoy! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This movie is definitely not a slasher film but one that scares you mentally. I hate the feeling I get whenever I watch it of not being able to trust someone. I get the feeling of being trapped as Mia Farrow's character is trapped in her appartment, by her neighbors, unable to reach her personal friends. She can't even trust a medical doctor. I think this makes for a great movie because you end up scaring yourself more then the picture does because it makes you wonder what you would do in that situation. Susan L.

Read More Roman Polanski's masterpiece is on all the old timers top ten list of horror movies, so in order to call myself a horror buff, I needed to check it out. The movie couldn't catch my attention until the baby was born. Little boring but quickly got interesting at the end, very creepy music. I can see why this Satanic thriller stirred controversy and people who call themselves horror buffs should see this movie. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This was not only one of the least scary horror films I've ever seen, it was one of the stupidest films ever! Honestly, the only scary scene was the room full of naked senior citizens! This movie strings you along with the promise of something. Anything! But there's nothing! No point, no purpose and no payoff. The true horror of Rosemary's baby is that you'll never get back the hours of your life you wasted on it. If you've got the time and money to waste . . . get a lobotomy instead!

A Doris Day movie for the first 2 1/4hrs and NO build up of suspense. Mia is "molested by satan?" which basically only showed a pitiful representation of lizzard hands. There is nothing remotely scarry about this movie. Mia does a great job acting, but I was sorely dissappointed with the story line, since the box claimed "Possibly the best horror film ever made"...HELLO! Maybe in the sixties, because they were horrified by the poor excuse for a gratuitus boob shot or two. You NEVER see the baby, and you're not surprised that it was her nosy neighbors who were the real nightmare. In the last 10 minutes...Mia looks at her baby , screams out realizing it WAS satan's red-eyed child and wanted NOTHING to do with it then decides to be motherly?? WHAT? I kept waiting for her to take the upside down cross hanging over the black baby crib and crucify him. Now That would have been a good ending. Sorry....I thought this was pitiful!
