The creepiest antithesis ever made

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2001)

I have only seen two Roman Polanski films in my time and this is by far is his best effort (the other being "The Ninth Gate" which was also well-done). Polanski did justice to Ira Levin's seminal antithesis to the first few chapters of the Gospel of Luke. The name of the book and movie are just astounding itself. Mia Farrow was well cast as the paranoid and protective Rosemary. Ruth Gordon was excellent as the sugar-coated, sour-centered next door neighbor. The story was provocative, spooky, and it got under my skin. It ranks in my "skin-crawling" movie list. Overall, this is a well-made creepshow that will probably make any man want to pick up a Bible and read it from cover to cover. 10 out of 10.
