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.

Wendy Ide Times (UK) ... A claustrophobic horror that taps brilliantly into the uncertainties and queasy potential threats of childbirth. Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Judith Crist 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. Oct 1, 2019 Full Review Kathleen Carroll New York Daily News 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. Jun 11, 2015 Full Review Preston Barta Denton Record-Chronicle 'Rosemary’s Baby' [is a] masterful portrayal of slow-burn horror, skillfully intertwining terror with thought-provoking social commentary. Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm ... a harrowing parable about the abuse, neglect, and silencing of women. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 28, 2024 Full Review Bianca Garner The Movie Buff The success of the film lies in the performances of Mia Farrow, as Rosemary, and Ruth Gordon, as Mrs. Castevet...

marie m Still scary after all these years. Mia Farrow's acting was superb!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/22 Full Review Gabriel W 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review thiago s 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review William B 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Audience Member WIE NERVIG KÖNNEN NACHBARN SEIN Es ist das Jahr 1965, Rosemary und ihr Ehemann Guy ziehen in eine riesige neue Wohnung in einem belebten Stadtviertel. Während Guy Schauspieler und oft unterwegs ist, ist Rosemary zu Hause und kümmert sich um den Haushalt. Sie lernt einige Nachbarn kennen und besonders die alten Castevets sind richtig begeistert von ihr. Rosemary ist höflich, doch stören diese bald, auch Guy verändert sich zusehends, doch das alles blendet sie aus als sie endlich Schwanger wird. Jedoch ist die Schwangerschaft von Schmerzen, schlechten Entscheidungen und einem merkwürdigen Gefühl überschattet. Rosemary's Baby von 1968 geht ca. 137 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier einen Horrorstreifen von Roman Polanski, mit der wunderschönen Mia Farrow (zumindest bis zu ihrem Bubischnitt) in der Hauptrolle. Die Handlung dreht sich um eine Frau die sich sehnlichst wünscht Schwanger zu werden, doch als sie es dann ist, immer tiefer hineingezogen wird in Intrigen, Verschwörungen und reiner Hilflosigkeit. Die Story ist sehr flüssig erzählt, selbst das simple zu Abend essen, ist aufgrund der Dialoge und des Schauspiels nicht langweilig. Es braucht zwar etwas um auf den Punkt der Geschichte zu kommen, dafür ist die Vorarbeit wenigstens unterhaltsam. Rosemary ist einfach bezaubernd unschuldig und die Bösen sind durchtrieben sowie hinterlistig. Mein Problem war nur das große Finale mit dem Kind, sowie die aufschlüsselung des ganzen Theaters und der Nachbarn. Das kam bei mir nicht an und warf eher Fragen auf als sie zu beantworten. Am Ende bleibt ein unterhaltsamer Klassiker der über eine gute Stimmung kommt, tolle Schauspieler hat und die Story, bis auf auf ein paar Macken, gut vorüber geht. Von mir bekommt der Film 7,5/10 Punkten. Ob der große Rote anatomisch so gebaut ist wie der normale durchschnitts Otto von nebenan? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/09/24 Full Review Rodolfo G In my opinion, an excellent movie, but I didn't like the ending, I was waiting for a plot twist. Anyway, this doesn't take away the great experience that was watching this movie. As I said before, it's well done, the script is very good, the performances too, it kept me attentive to the screen throughout the movie. I recommend.
