Classic Horror Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2014)

Before Misery and The Silence of the Lambs, this was the only other horror film after 1932 to win an Oscar, a well deserved acting Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for Ruth Gordon. Top notch psychological thriller. Mia Farrow gives an amazing performance. She should have been nominated for an Oscar herself. The entire cast was phenomenal. It was scary, not in the special effects (although they were excellent), not in good makeup(also well), but the story was compelling. Roman Polanski really knows how to make a film. It makes me want to read the book. Very very scary, but very very well done. They don't make scary movies like this anymore.
