Rating: 5.0
A truly suspenseful movie
I couldn't sleep last night and got up at 4 am and watched "Rosemary's Baby" by myself while my boyfriend slept. I am in my early 40s and had never seen it. It truly scared the holy heck out of me. This is a story of a woman who slowly learns that something horrible has happened to her and and slowly learns that she can trust absolutely no one, and it's done very effectively - you are constantly sliding back and forth with hope and despair for her. She cannot escape, although she desperately tries. And you are right there with her, hoping it isn't true, hoping she can find a way out. It is not a bloody gorefest, and I didn't notice any special effects. It relies on good acting and EVERYONE in it is superb, especially Ms. Farrow. Her every look and movement is perfect. Ruth Gordon as the intrusive neighbor is also very good; she is a strange mix of comedy and evil. I stopped the movie near the end at one point, where I really felt all hope was lost. My heart was pounding. I almost wanted to ask my boyfriend to not go to work and leave me by myself. Then after he left I just couldn't stand not knowing how it ended, so I watched the rest of it. If I say anymore I will ruin it. Let's just say that it is a very unforgettable movie.
