Overrated silliness

Rating: 4/10 (2 June 2004)

Judging from most IMDb comments, I am one of the few viewers who does not like this movie. I did not find it scary at all -- I found it quite dumb. And the ending was the most disappointing of all. The only person worth watching is Ruth Gordon. She is a terrific actress. Rosemary's husband Guy Woodhouse is goofy and Rosemary herself is overly dramatic. It would have been interesting to have Rosemary's husband act more like a con man telling how beautiful and wonderful she is. The sex scene with the devil is silly. A remake of this film could be much creepier and the ending in my opinion should be modified slightly. I think Rosemary should have tried to kill the baby once she found out it was the devil's. This would have been the one excitement in the whole film, especially if the baby killed her instead. I was so glad when I finished watching the film, but I felt I had to view a movie considered to be such a classic.
