Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Gresh854 Being a humongous fan of Chinatown, one of my all-time favorites, I had contrived myself with massive expectations for Rosemary's Baby-which I have been anticipating for many many months-and I'm completely appalled that this film somehow, effortlessly exceeded them. The biggest compliment I can give this movie is that the characters provided in the story don't feel like actors/actresses portraying a part, they feel like real people attending their everyday lives. I felt like I was baselessly peeping into the lives of real people experiencing real traumatic events, and that's saying a lot since some seriously berserk stuff goes down in this film. Rosemary's Baby is doubtlessly one of the most persuasive, and unsettling dramatic thrillers I have ever gutted. It's parallels to difficult and more burdensome themes that other films wouldn't dare explore, are boldly risky yet decidedly respectable. Rosemary's Baby is the upholding standard (or literal definition) of flawless "psychological horror." Despite my considerably negative feelings towards Polanski as a person, as a filmmaker, I can give him top-credit for his masterful direction and perfect writing that can simply not be compared with against any other household name during the era in which Rosemary's Baby was released (AKA, the 60s). (Verdict: A+)

Osmosis Iron The best psychological horror movie I have ever seen, the main character begins to question things about his or her surroundings in many movies, but this one actually can make the viewer do that! About one point in particular many people think they saw something that really wasn't in the movie.. it's mostly the superb atmosphere that makes this one stand out, it knows exactly when and how much to reveal or hold back! Also mostly subtle, but very effective score!

Red-Barracuda This was acclaimed Polish director Roman Polanski's first American movie. It was produced by famed horror director William Castle, who was an odd bed fellow for Polanski but it turned out to be a marriage made in heaven (or hell) as Rosemary's Baby turned out to be one of the films that truly brought the horror genre into the modern age. Like the later film The Stepford Wives (1975), which was also about a woman in a new environment unsure if she is being terrorised by her odd new neighbours, this one was a novel by Ira Levin. Set in super-chic Manhattan, it tells of a young woman who falls pregnant and becomes convinced that her neighbours are a group of Satanists who are trying to control the birth. There's more to it than that but either you know it or you don't need to read it and just see it.Like Polanski's earlier Repulsion (1965) and later The Tenant (1976) this one follows the somewhat specific template which could allow it to be labelled an apartment horror. In all those films the central protagonist finds themselves a prisoner of sorts in their home. In this example the action is shot on location at New York's Dakota Building, which became forever infamous some time later as the place John Lennon was murdered. Polanski conjures up a truly modern type of horror where the absurd seems deeply plausible, where Satanists knit sweaters and appear completely unthreatening on the surface. In fact, aside from a disturbing dream sequence where Satan rapes Rosemary, the chills in this one are all of the subtle variety, with the fear being what is just out of reach and out of sight; felt but not seen. It also naturally plays on the universal fear of childbirth and the subjugation of women; which must have been extra pertinent in the late 60's times of change. Polanski is the key contributor of course but he is assisted massively by the stellar cast. Mia Farrow is thoroughly compelling in the central role as the vulnerable Rosemary who is in every single scene, John Cassavetes is extremely shifty and creepy as her husband who has made a Faustian pact with the Satanists, while Sidney Blackmer and (especially) Ruth Gordon are simply brilliant as the elderly cult leaders.Rosemary's Baby was and remains, a towering entry in the horror genre. It was the film whose success ushered in the trend for big budget satanic themed horror movies throughout the 70's, with both The Exorcist (1973) and the Omen (1976) owing some obvious debt to it. Overall, a brilliant achievement.

duccshmucc Why did roman blue ball us by not showing the baby? im sick of movies made out of reaction shots where the actual story is hidden from the audience. why would i want to look at the faces of actors expressing emotions that i should supposedly be feeling by watching, but get not even get to look at what the story is. looking at horrified faces wont make me feel horror in the slightest. its just taunting watching these actors talk about some satan baby that we get to see none of. the story was decent enough and the acting was good to its credit still.
