Polanski's first true masterpiece. An unnerving cinematic experience of psychological horror.

Rating: 9/10 (31 October 2006)

Pray for Rosemary's Baby...
Roman Polanski's Oscar winning masterpiece of horror was the scariest film when released in 1968.
Polanski doesn't show gruesome images and brutally violent scenes. He leaves it to the mind. Like Hitchcock films.
The plot is classic. A young eager husband living in New York is dragged into a demonic world when he is promised riches from a bunch of satanists living in an apartment block in the Bronx. The only exchange... His wife's baby. The chosen son of the devil.
Mia Farrow is outstanding as the innocent mother coveted by a bunch of insane old neighbours who continuously drug her and perform rituals on her just to get her son, the son of Satan. His name will be Adrian.
Polanski's first American film is a timeless classic and one of the scariest films ever made.
