Rating: 5.0
One of the greatest horror movies of all time
My official list of the greatest top 10 horror movies of all time would have to include "Rosemary's Baby". Mia Farrow makes an adorable Rosemary; so sweet, innocent, vulnerable and waiflike that we develop a true fondness for her.Nothing bad should happen to someone so nice. She become pregnant after a strange dream of being rapted by something inhuman. Then her husband becomes distant, her neighbors become increasingly sinister, and she developes this strange pain in her stomach. To tell you anymore would be an injustice. Watch it and find out for yourself. However, don't be looking for things to jump out at you or lots of gore. This is a horror film that relies on the lack of such things for effect. The horror creeps up on us and poor Rosemary while the rooms are bright and New York city bustles around outside the window of her apartment. It's hard to believe something so unspeakable is happening in such a seemingly normal world. It's that "oh my god I can't believe this is really happening to me and there is no one who can help me" type of horror movie. I'm not saying any more becuase I don't want to spoil anything for the first time viewer. For those of you who know the story and look at it again, there are plenty of details that make it more interesting. For example, notice the month and year the baby is born.
