Critics Consensus

A frightening tale of Satanism and pregnancy that is even more disturbing than it sounds thanks to convincing and committed performances by Mia Farrow and Ruth Gordon.

Times (UK)

... A claustrophobic horror that taps brilliantly into the uncertainties and queasy potential threats of childbirth.

New York Magazine/Vulture

The fault ultimately is in the Polanski screenplay which overlooks character for effect, disastrously. Involvement is absent; all is surface and it is a smooth one, without the shimmer of the evil that is within.

Right to its bitter end, there is no escaping "Rosemary's Baby." On film Ira Levin's best selling novel is as horribly frightening as it was on paper.

'Rosemary’s Baby' [is a] masterful portrayal of slow-burn horror, skillfully intertwining terror with thought-provoking social commentary.

... a harrowing parable about the abuse, neglect, and silencing of women.

The Movie Buff

The success of the film lies in the performances of Mia Farrow, as Rosemary, and Ruth Gordon, as Mrs. Castevet...

I’ve seen this movie, not exaggerating, over one hundred times. When a film can function as both a terrifying horror film and a comfort movie, it’s something special. This is one of those movies that I’ll get stuck on from time to time and just watch repeatedly for days. Mia Farrow is divine. If you haven’t seen Rosemary’s Baby, I envy that you get to see it for the first time :’)

The book might have been good, but the movie was awful. Not a horror film that would scare anyone. There’s a psycho element to it, but it’s underdeveloped. The film’s 1966 release date likely limits its ability to frighten audiences in 2025.

This film is a combination of The First Omen and Hereditary. It is good, but I wasn't fully wowed with it. It might have been powerful at the time, but today with the films coming out, we can in fact find films that are almost the exactly the same but done slightly better.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme mostra um casal que vai ter um bebê, mas rosemary tem algumas alucinações e pesadelos com coisas satânicas, depois rosemary fica meio desesperada com esse bebê e com essa coisas que acontecem com ela, mas deixa ela fica calma, depois de rosemary ter o bebê, depois rosemary vai ver onde está o seu bebê, e seu bebê não um bebê normal, era um bebê demônio, que a porra do Roman polasnki não mostrou como era o bebê e todo mundo viu a cara de socada da risemary para porra nenhuma vai se fude caralho, eu não recomendo esse filme vai toma no cu.

This movie looks good in the beggining. It looks like it promises a lot. But then it turns out to be sickening. The movie is not bad, but it could've been better planned.
