haunted...
i am still haunted by this film and i swear i will never watch another horror film as long as i'm alive in the dark. THIS early roman polanski chiller proved to be everything i had been told through the years and i should've known to first watch this in broad daylight. now as i go to sleep, i almost afraid to shut out the lights. there is still a bathroom light on in the hallway as i'm writing this. what gave this film the ultimate thrill was it's complete exercise in paranoia which many women could relate to while they are expecting. the film also taps into mortal fears of the unknown or the things which we have no control over. some of the other elements which one might find entertaining here are the costumes and styles of the mid-sixties and this film could serve as a great milestone for what we remember so well in this time period. in addition to all these goodies, we have memorable performances by all which couldn't easily be forgotten. the film weaves a suspenseful tale which may be in fact a variation of faust and will haunt us long after the credits have rolled off the screen. after awhile, you too may have to stop and ask yourself what happened to rosemary and her baby after all this. i won't tell. unpleasant dreams, my faithful viewers.
