Unsettling, creepy classic horror film

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2017)

Rosemary's Baby (1968) is one of the most famous horror films ever made. It got excellent unanimously positive reviews when it was released. It received those excellent reviews because it really is a great well done horror film that will creep the hell out of you. The cast includes: Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, Charles Grodin, and Ruth Gordon. The performances are marvelous all around, especially by Farrow (Rosemary). Farrow plays the lead role wonderfully. Rosemary goes through a lot in the film and Farrow plays it all so well. Her character starts out as a normal wife. Her and her husband Guy (John Cassavetes) move into a new apartment and there are many creepy, eerie neighbors around them. They befriend one couple in their 70s and they form a relationship. Rosemary becomes pregnant soon after, but as the pregnancy progresses, complications come up and Rosemary begins to realize that something is deeply wrong and that the people around her might be in on it. She comes to believe that her neighbors are Satan worshipers and that her husband Guy has promised them their baby to use in rituals. It's not until the end that the truth about everything is revealed. This movie uses real effective scare tactics instead of relying on blood and gore like other horror movies. The direction is wonderfully done, the writing is very smart and well written, the performances are spot on from the entire cast, and the ending is one of the most chilling and effective ending I've ever seen! I 100% recommend this classic if you like chilling scary movies. 9/10!
