A Chilling and Haunting Psyhcological Horror/Drama...
Rosemary's Baby follows Rosemary as she moves into a new apartment with her husband, Guy. Her new neighbors are odd and often intrusive. Eventually, Rosemary becomes pregnant, and due to an extreme vision/nightmare and unusual events in life, Rosemary believes Guy signed off her baby to a cult in order to accelerate his acting career. Rosemary's Baby is a chilling and haunting psychological horror/drama.The story is twisted and creepy; this is a horror film that doesn't rely on gore or jump-scares. It does, however, creepily use some surreal imagery during an unforgettable scene. It uses drama elements wisely to create a more effective and immersive horror film. It moves at a decent pace, although it is a bit slow at times. I really enjoyed the ending of the film, where it amps up and becomes more suspenseful and shocking. The acting was also great. I also enjoyed the music; something as simple as "la-la-la" on repeat starts off as enchanting and nice, and that same tune becomes haunting by the end of the film.Overall, I really enjoyed Rosemary's Baby, it creates an impactful horror film by placing character first and masterfully executing a creepy concept. As of 1/6/13, this film is available on Netflix Streaming, and I highly recommend a purchase.Rosemary's Baby has some violence and blood, and nudity and sex.
