The best viewings are the ones AFTER the first. (spoilers..sorta..)

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2003)

Seeing 'Rosemary's Baby' the first time is an interesting enough experience, regardless of whether you come out of it having enjoyed the movie, or come out of it feeling disappointed at the ending.
The reason this is so is all the detail, all the tiny things that lead up the the climax. Note the times when Guy Woodhouse comes and goes. Notice how Guy and and Roman go off and have their little chat (that we never see) while the focus is on Rosemary and Minnie, and how Guy's attitude changes after that. Notice the way Roman stares at Hutch so much so that he ignores Rosemary when Hutch asks about the authenticity of "Tanis Root" .

Of course, there's much more than these, and the subsequent viewings are such fun because you can spot all these things that passed you by intially.
