Rating: 3.0
A trailblazing film
Just some thoughts...Rosemary's Baby (1968) is a psychological horror movie that paved the way for other horror films that deal with demonic possession and/or children of Satan, such as The Exorcist (1973) and The Omen (1976). This Roman Polanski movie is very slow moving throughout. The run time is two hours, sixteen minutes, but at least a half hour could have been cut from it. The movie seems to draaaaaaaaaaag most of the time and the ending is less than satisfying. The best part of this movie is Mia Farrow. Her acting is pretty good and she's nice to look at (at least up until she cut her hair). Overall, the acting was pretty good. The musical score was OK, even though the movie doesn't have much music in it. I don't find this movie scary at all.I like supernatural and psychological horror films. They're my favorite type of horror film. Films in the mold of The Innocents (1961), The Haunting (1963), The Changeling (1980), Carnival Of Souls (1962) and The Others (2001) are what I like best. I can't rank Rosemary's Baby among my favorite psychological and supernatural horror movies. It falls short because it's not dark enough and not scary enough.
