One of The Creepiest Movies Of All Time
When I first encountered "Rosemary's Baby" at age 11, I don't remember much of it because I turned it off due to its scariness. Years later, when I got into film, I viewed it again looking for the scary parts. I remember weird images and even weirder music accompanying those images, so it HAD to be scary, right? Wrong. "Rosemary's Baby" is a movie I would call "Creepy". You have a sense throughout the film that somethin' just ain't right. Roman Polanski is a genius at setting this kind of tone (he does it again in "Chintatown")but what really rings home is that he solicits this creepiness from the classic "Elderly Couple Next Door". Who could ever suspect Ruth Gordon as a witch? The film has an excellent pace that doesn't go too fast until the end, when Rosemary is trying to escape her captors. This is by far a superior horror film the, kind that they just don't make anymore. The look on Rosemary's face as she embraces her "baby" at the end of the film is classic.
