Rating: 5.0
The power of suggestion.
Rosemary's Baby is an understated, chilling tale of horror of an young woman whose mundane world slowly changes into the gothic and bizarre. Rosemary is married to an actor whose career suddenly takes off to unexpected heights. She feels herself being cast aside by his ascent to fame, but it is, indeed, Rosemary who is the central focus of the story.The writing, acting and direction magically make Rosemary's suspicions and fear our own, It does so slowly and methodically with amazing precision, and there is no release until the very end. At times, the build-up is almost maddening.If you haven't seen this film in a while, I recommend that you reacquaint yourself with it now. Ruth Gordon's supporting performance as one of the neighbors under suspicion is worth the price of the DVD alone. If you have never seen it before -- don't miss it. Rosemary's Baby is a powerful film that will haunt you forever.
