What's all the rave? I don't see it.
I am a huge horror movie lover,but I have to say that I was truly disappointed with this. When I first rented Rosemary's Baby, I was expecting a delightful psychological suspense thriller after reading all these raving reviews, but what I got was a slow moving, average acting, and not scary at all flop of a horror flick.I can certainly appreciate older films that truly builds the atmosphere and suspense as opposed to modern day corny slasher types or the flash a scary ghost face here, another dead body there while playing creeping music typical modern day horror. But boy, did this movie take a long time to develop! The whole time I was sitting there thinking---this is suspense? this is horror? Maybe we've been over-exposed to special effect type of horror and better technology and camera work, but at no time during this sad display of a movie was I scared or on the edge of my seat. The entire movie just happened without me having a reaction for it, the only reaction I had after the poor ending was trying to find a hammer to smash this sad excuse of a movie.I normally don't give bad reviews, but this movie experience was ruined due to my high expectation from all the positive reviews and how bad the movie actually turned out. These actors won awards? People were actually scared by this movie? I don't think the movie was too "aged" for my taste since there are a number of films dated from the same era that I've enjoyed immensely. I really think this movie is vastly overrated and just poorly made.
