Review of Rosemary's Baby (1968) by Sleez B — 23 Nov 2011

Jeez, even Rosemary raised a better baby. The debate over Rosemary v. Baby sparked debates nationwide as the case went to the Supreme Court. The film is a beautiful example, never mind. Scratch that. The film is a scary example of what a good horror film is.

I manage to pick up certain elements the film features other than horror of pregnancy which includes male hegemony, relationship problems, Cold War paranoia, occultism, womenâ(TM)s liberation, and so on.

Director Roman Polanski manages to combine these elements along with excellent music that are hidden from the audience and Rosemary (Mia Farrow). Then, the film manipulates the emotions to have audiences feeling uneasy and worrying about poor Rosemary.

She is filled with confusion and fear over her child and is very unease as she starts to have nightmares. She knows there is connection, but cannot find the missing puzzle while her husband struggles with his acting career.

I say Polanski has made a definite thriller that will frighten a lot of individuals and religious folks. The only problem I had was the ending. No, the ending does not ruin anything, but I had a problem with it because I was caught off guard by it.

I was unable to understand the structure around it if it was reality or another dream. I got lost by it and so did the suspense that was built. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the ending was uncompromised whatsoever.

Thus we are left in darkness with lasting words of âhail Satan,â? *spasm*. I recommend this very creepy classic that is fresh exercise in horror. I wonder how the Supreme Court voted on the case of Rosemary v.

Baby and wonder if ultra conservatives of the Republican Party would even agree on an abortion? Ruth Gordon was fantastic in this film and so was the entire cast, props.
