Wear diapers when watching this film!
This film gets creepier and creepier every time i watch it. The story is based around Farrow and Cassavetes characters. They're newlyweds in search of an apartment and find one in a dream complex. From the start something about Cassavetes is off settling maybe it's those eyes or his lips but the man aint right! Farrow is so precious with her pixe cut and fawn like face that what happens toher is just so much more vile and disgusting. The lengths that Cassavettes character (an aspiring actor) goes to reach fame is appauling!! But in the end the music with it's tension heightening strings at the calm moments of the film keep you at an uneasy edge of your seat weariness. When Farrow becomes pregnant in the film that scene alone will leave your eyes wide open for the rest of the film talk about a nightmare! polanski gives the film a claustrophobic feel with an uneasy openness due to the characters playing up to Farrow's innocent nature and keeping her at ease through out her pregnancy. But the main horror effect is the fact that nobody believes Farrow's sitaution and as the due date grows closer the film goes into overdrive in the search for Farrow to find a believer. The final scene is one of the most terrifiying images in film history! What you don't see will leave your couch stained with sweat and your mind burned with a permanent image of hell!
