Horror classic

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2017)

After starring in the Peyton Place television series and making all of America believe she was as sweet, innocent, and well-rounded as Allison MacKenzie, Mia Farrow showed an entirely new side of her when she starred in the horror classic Rosemary's Baby. There's an abundance of trivia you can read up on—from how many actresses were up for the part to the infamous divorce papers served to Mia while on the set—which might be even more famous than the film itself.
Well, probably not. Rosemary's Baby is incredibly famous, and not just for sullying Mia Farrow's screen innocence. She and her screen husband John Cassavetes move into an apartment and subsequently make friends with their neighbors, Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer. Strange things start happening to the young couple and those around them, but by the time Mia figures it out, it might be too late. . . While there's an arguably slow beginning, you can tell there's a sense of dread in the air, and once the scary parts start, you're buckled in for a non-stop horror fest until the end.
If you like horror movies, you might not be very fazed by this one. But keep in mind, in 1968, Rosemary's Baby was a really big deal. For lightweights, like me, you'll be really spooked by this cult favorite. I only sat through this one because I like Mia Farrow so much.
Kiddy warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, this is a horror movie and way too scary for kids, Also, there may or may not be a rape scene, so I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
