Best horror movie, if not one of the best overall movies of all-time. Forget the exorcist, which is out dated and won't scare anyone today anyway. Unlike every horror movie from the 80's and older, Rosemary's Baby is not outdated at all and could still be a smash hit today if it were re-released. This is a genius movie that starts out like a soap opera and slowly turns into a terrifying psychological masterpiece. This is not your typical horror movie at all.

But I also accidently took her to see DELIVERANCE, thinking it was a travelog, when she was preggies again. Can you imagine how my kids turned out? My third kid loves ALIENS. Go figure.

I Also Recommend:
This is the greatest horror film, and one of the greatest films ever, period. Everything in it works. From that terrific tag line to the creepy poster art, to that off kilter lullaby Mia Farrow croons, to every single performance, line of dialogue and scene. The cast is perfection. The terror is palpable. The extras set the movie in its time, but the movie has surpased its time and become, like all true classics, for the ages. The Bramley will never be razed for a parking lot. Ira Levin's superb novel was blessed by Roman Polanski's film. Both are landmarks touched with more than a little genius.
The movie is wickedly funny, deliciously entrancing, groundbreaking "real" because it's horror is set in present day New York; also, the elderly couple next door, who are the coven leaders, are played to the hilt by nosey Ruth Gordon and the intriguing Sidney Blackmer; therefore, it's easy to come under their spell. Blackmer especially gives an almost noble performance that is rich and wise. The entire cast is at the top of their game.
Maurice Evan's Hutch is the hope and comfort of the film, the logical reality against what is inexorably happening, while Ralph Bellamy's Dr. Saperstein (he was on "Open End," you know)is that soft spoken easygoing evil that you just know hides a little below the surface of most of his ilk. It's also fun seeing Hope Summers (Clara Edwards of "The Andy Griffith Show") as a Satanist. Not out of character here, really. Did Aunt Bea ever find out?
It's ironic that the movie probably could not be made today. The current crop of puritans would rail against it; odd, since the bare bones of the plot hew to what they say they believe. But while those lame Left Behind movies and the others artlessly propound beating foolish stuff into its audiences heads, "Rosemary's Baby" plays knowingly with fiction, with what ifs, with the paranoia come true, all in a twisty gripping eerie exciting film, produced by the great William Castle, who has just the right cameo that comes with the chill first, then the laughter.
Mia Farrow's heart wrenching Rosemary Woodhouse leads us into her terror and pain, then into her first goose bumpy nightmare come true reaction to her son, propelling into that final reaction, maybe even scarier, as the camera wisely pans to the window and the outside of the Bramley. There are some fine character actors as well, always dependable Elisha Cook, Jr. Philip Leeds and Patsy Kelly.
John Cassavetes, as Guy Woodhouse, also creeps us out as he sells himself and Rosemary, and I guess, their baby, and the world, to Satan, to further his acting career. Being in bit parts in "Luther" and "Nobody Loves an Albatross" can only take an actor just so far. Priorities, after all. So settle down with some "plain old Lipton Tea," a bowl of "chocolate mouse" and a Vodka Blush, and watch a classic again or for the first time. Watch out for mouse bites, though.
Would somebody please tell my why everyone is classifying this as a horror film. There wasn't anything horror about it. Don't get me wrong, the movie is excellent with some top notch acting and cinematography. However, I found the movie to be completely misleading in the direction in which it was going, teasing you with some creepy singing at the opening credits, but going nowhere for the first half of the movie. There was some disturbing imagery in it, but nothing to the level of an actual horror movie, this was more of a psychological/supernatural "drama". Half way, i found myself frustrated and begging for some actual progression. Thankfully the story started to take off in the second half, but I was still frustrated that I was not actually watching a horror film, and I wasn't expecting blood and gore, and some guy with a chainsaw, but you would think a film that labels itself as horror and with a Devil worshiping story, would have similar horror qualities like the "Exorcist" or "The Omen" which are true horror movies and blow "Rosemary's Baby" completely out of the water. For those of you interested in a Disturbing drama, then go for it. For those of you looking for a psychological/supernatural horror, look elsewhere.

this was creepy and just plain weird film i've ever seen. the only thing you should be watching for is the ending and nothing else. sick way to get a woman pregnant and just sad on the ending as well. this is about a couple who move into a house and then later something happens to the wife rosemary where later she finds out she's pregnant and begins to have weird events that lead up to the finale and the birth. it is slow pace and interesting though not one i would like to see. watch it for yourself then decide.

This movie is absolutely wonderful. I hope the Hollywood honchos never try to remake this classic. It's creepy without being slasher. Psychologically is where it gets you, just like the Omen. Mia Farrow is perfect as the wife who looks seems paranoid. John Cassavetes is wonderful as Guy, the actor husband who sells out his first born. I love the atmosphere of the movie and the odd couple who latches on to Guy and Rosemary.

I have seen a lot of scary films in my time. I've seen Elm Street, Friday the 13th, Scream and I thought they all sucked. Rosemary's Baby is the only film I've seen that literally scared the s*** out of me. Even the music creeps you out. If you are a serious movie goer like I am, watch it. You will find a little piece of movie history.

i personally liked the Omen more because it was scarier than this. This is like a drama with a dark side.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FILMS OF ALL TIME. I LOVE THIS FILM, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY TO DO WITH SLASHERS AND SERIAL KILLERS, IT DOESN'T HAVE GORE AND BLOOD. IT IS A RARE AND SPECIAL FILM THAT PEOPLE CLOSE TO YOU CAN HAVE EVIL SIDES. THEY DON'T MAKE FILMS LIKE THESE ANYMORE. ALSO, THEY SHOULD COME OUT WITH A SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION OF THIS ALL-TIME GROUNDBREAKING CLASSIC CHILLER. IT SHOULD HAVE MORE EXTRAS LIKE DELETED SCENES, AND MULTIPLE TRAILERS, INSIGHTFUL COMMENTARIES, SPECIAL INTERVIEWS WITH THE CAST AND CREW, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: IT SHOULD DIGITALLY RESTORED AND REMASTERED IN CRISP CLEAR DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 SURROUND SOUND.

Classic Horror at it's best, less on gore, more of a thinking man's horror. If you like the movie and want to know more about the behind the scenes making of Rosemary's Baby, check out two available titles - Curse of the Silver Screen - Tragedy & Disaster Behind the Movies chronicles troubled productions of many Hollywood features including Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist, The Misfits, Rebel Without a Cause and more. Also, check out Scare Tactic - The Life & Films of William Castle. Castle was the producer of Rosemary's Baby and the book details this film as well as his other classics like House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler.
