Creepy tale of an abused, abandoned woman

Rating: 6/10 (28 August 2019)

In this Christ story-turned-on-its-head, one definitely sympathizes with Mia Farrow as Rosemary.
Her biggest sin is that she trusts her husband, Guy (John Cassavetes), who gets lured into a coven operating in the gothic Dakota building on Manhattan's Upper West Side before betraying her cruelly.
Rosemary deals with the most egregious case of gaslighting since the 1944 movie that coined the term, as everyone from Guy to her celebrity OBGYN try to make her disbelieve her own painful perceptions. Her pregnancy occurs via rape by her husband. We know she's not off to a good start.
The film starts out with many marks of the gothic horror tale, as Rosemary and Guy hear about sordid crimes that transpired in their new residence and are warned against moving in. In a manner echoed by "The Blair Witch Project" several decades later, Rosemary and Guy scoff at an herb collection left by a former tenant.
