No Surprises Here

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2019)

Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) and her husband Guy Woodhouse (John Cassavetes) move into an apartment next door to an older couple rumored to be witches. The elderly couple is friendly enough even if the lady, Minnie (Ruth Gordon), is nosy. Everything is normal until one night after Rosemary eats some of Minnie's chocolate mousse. She has an intense somewhat psychotic dream except it doesn't seem like a dream at all. It was scary, erotic, and other things and the result of it was her pregnancy.
Rosemary was not too bright, a little too trusting, and all too meek which made me both pity and hate her. Clearly, things aren't right with her neighbors, with her pregnancy, and even with her husband but she continues to associate with them all and even trust them all to a degree. The movie wasn't really scary as it was mysterious-like what's really going on. In the end we find out what was going on and it's not truly surprising. Disturbing and off-putting, yes, but surprising, no.
