Classic Horror Movie for Deep Thinkers
Rosemary's Baby is the type of movie that I knew I was going to love before I watched it. The story idea was refreshing....at least it was back in the late 1960's before the copy cats had started. The book was fantastic. Though I knew what was ultimately going to "happen" at the end of the movie (more or less) it was still an exciting trip the movie takes us on while getting there.In many ways the characters are people we can relate to. That is most of us can find at least one character in the movie that we can empathize with and we know people in our lives that remind us of the other characters. It is a long movie, but none of the time is wasted. It is a movie which if you watch it several times you will pick up something new from it each time.I won't go over the plot details since so many people do that so well. I will just point out that the imagery during parts of the movie (especially the conception of the child) is masterfully done. The writing, acting, and directing are all excellent.One great thing about the movie is that it separates itself from many modern horror films in that it doesn't use gore or explosions to make its points. So teenagers (or adults with the attention span of teenagers) will probably be bored with this movie. But for refined movie viewers there will be few dissapointments in this movie. It is definately worth buying.
