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.

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

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 takes the little flap of cuticle and peels it all the way up to the elbow. It was clearly the inspiration for many movies and moviemakers since. While watching this, I kept drawing parallels with Hereditary.

A masterpiece in slow-burn, paranoia and tension. One of the best psychological horror films ever. [Full review in Spanish]

From what I remember, it was scary. Especially the music at the beginning. That was disturbing for sure. That ending was crazy.

When it first appeared on screen, I thought it was a masterpiece. That was about 60 years ago. I saw it again last night and it's still a masterpiece. And I don't like Mia Farrow! Only "The Exorcist" was a better horror flick. [Both novels were also top-drawer.] The horror is slow to build but does not fail to carry the viewer along, relentlessly and nervously. The only nit I have is that Polanski fails to let us see the baby; the movie is called "Rosemary's Baby," after all --- not "Rosemary's Bad Dream."

Esse é um dos melhores exemplos de que o terror (o verdadeiro terror) não está no que o diretor nos mostra, e sim na atmosfera que ele constrói. Ao longo do filme, nenhuma morte — ou mera ameaça de morte — ocorre, mas "O Bebê de Rosemary" é, sem dúvidas, um dos filmes mais apavorantes e perturbadores que se pode assistir, pois nenhuma imagem visual pode ser pior do que aquela que cada espectador cria na sua mente. Simplesmente, uma aula de tensão, suspense e paranóia, do início ao fim.
