Skillful Horror

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2004)

Roman Polanski has used very skillfully methods to make a creepy horror film. Excluding the ending of the film, Rosemary's Baby reminded me of Hitchcock's brilliant horror and thriller films. But I should watch this movie twice because after just one view of the film I can't think of anything lousy in this film. And no film is perfect.
But as I mentioned, I have watched this film only once, so I have only good things to say about this movie. So: the actors and actresses are great. I like movies which don't have dozens of characters. This movie hasn't got too many characters. When there are only few characters it is easy to learn to know them better. I liked especially Mia Farrow. She was great. Also the title music was fantastic!
Rosemary's Baby shows how to make a good horror film, without any cool special effects. Many movies have been spoiled with too many effects so I'm glad this one is made in the 60s when it was impossible to make decent effects, at least compared to what you can do nowadays. Well, I don't want to write all day. I gave this movie 9/10 points and recommend it to everyone who likes Hitchcock-movies.
