Creepy, Creepy and Then Some

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2013)

Gotta be one of the creepiest films ever made! Even though I have seen this film time and again it still has me sitting at the edge of my seat chomping on my finger nails. And some scenes even had the hair on my neck standing up. Wow! This film is scary. Mia Farrow is shatteringly good, bringing you squarely into our orbit as the tortured wife married to the creep of all time. How any actor could survive the husband's part is anyone's guess but John Cassavetes manages it seems since his career apparently was helped by this showy part. But it is Mia Farrow's film alone and she is utterly captivating and utterly ravishing. You cannot take your eyes off her. She demands your attention in every single scene. The supporting cast is also very strong with Ruth Gordon being so annoying you really want to bag her. You know she's up to no good yet there's nothing poor Mia can do about it. It's like you want to scream at her, slug the bitch!
