Rating: 5.0
Popular Polanski.
Polanski is one of my favorite directors, so it's no surprise he's responsible for 3 of my favorite movies of all time. -This one, and "The Tenant" (-where's that DVD, Paramount ?), and my favorite of ALL movies ever made; "The Fearless Vampire Killers" (-where's that DVD, MGM ?.) "Rosemary's Baby" is loaded with memorable scenes, and wonderful actors acting wonderfully in them. The picture quality is very good, and the only minus I can think of is the fact that the letterboxing only adds a tiny bit to the sides, while it unfortunately cuts off quite a bit from the top and bottom in comparison to the old fullscreen version. -This somewhat cramped look is bound to irritate some people, and they might even prefer their old tape. The bonus stuff (two documentaries) on the DVD is okay, but oddly enough there's no trailer. The making-of featurette has many interesting scenes from the shooting of the movie, but the newly produced documentary is not all that well made. -It's rather hectic and way too short (17 min.), but it's better than nothing of course. A true classic like "Rosemary's Baby" deserves something AT LEAST an hour long. Still, it's a must-buy for all Horrorheads, and I highly recommend you get this DVD.
