Captivates and Terrorizes you
Rosemary's Baby is one of my favorite films. I think the initial attraction to the film was the near angelic appeal of Mia Farrow and the miracle of conception juxtaposed within the context of paranoid, satanic ritual. This play of opposites really makes the film intriguing.Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse attempt to start a prosperous life in a new apartment (hopefully to be filled quickly by children). But after a tragic accident, the Woodhouses begin to experience stranger and stranger happenings as they also become closer to their neighbors. While Rosemary does become pregnant, her happiness quickly devolves into suspicion.A few graphic scenes may shock the viewer, but overall the film plays on the more subtle suspicions of Rosemary. Is she dreaming, hallucinating, crazy, or following her instincts? Who is helping her and who is lying to her? These questions entice the viewer to stay on the edge of their seats to find out.Highly recommended!
