Pleasantly Surprised

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2013)

Recently I have discovered a new found love for the horror genre and have been building up my collection of horror films. I had heard about Rosemarys Baby before but it was never really on the top of the list of my films to watch, however after watching it I must say I was pleasantly surprised.
The film isn't the scariest of horrors but there is a feeling of impending doom from the start after Rosemary moves into her new apartment with her actor husband and is befriended by her neighbours who just don't seem quite right. What I enjoyed about this film is the fact you can sympathise with Rosemary and her feelings of isolation as she starts to realise that there is something more sinister going on and you are in suspense of what is about to happen next.
Warning Spoilers Ahead: I think the ending of the film is very fitting and disturbing as Rosemary walks into the room to find all the members of the cult that have come to see her baby, also the fact that you never see the babies face, yet you get to see Rosemarys shocked reaction leaves everything to the imagination. I recommend everyone especially horror fans to watch this film.
