A brilliant film from a talented director

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2012)

Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby" is a truly gripping tale into that does everything a classic horror movie should do. Forgoing excessive blood and cheesy monster costumes, the film builds up slowly and subtly to the point where any film-goer would be filled to the brim with tension and fear for what is next to come. After multiple viewings, little subtleties become absurdly visible, such as the recurring color of red or the blatant ignorance of Rosemary as she is manipulated by the wills of all those around her. All in all, this is a genuinely horrifying masterpiece that should not be missed (with an exception for the faint of heart).
