Summary: The first part is a masterpiece; after that it sinks quickly
Review: The firs 50 minutes to an hour of Rosemary's Baby -Commemorative Edition VHS~ Mia Farrow is very creepy and thought provoking. Mi a Farrow does a commendable job as the pregnant wife. As for the part of the husband is played by an actor that seems a bit out of his league. The woman whom plays the overly curious neighbor does a fair job. To think that she was awarded an academy award seems to tell that the movies produced that year did not have many memorable or outstanding actors. I must admit that I was a bit disappointed since I was very much looking forward to see this "classic" horror movie; it started out great but slowly fizzled and never quite recovered.

Summary: POLANSKI'S MASTERPIECE
Review: Considered very "with it" and uniquely horrifying upon its initial release in 1968, ROSEMARY'S BABY indeed still has the facility to give viewers the shivers. For some reason, witches seemed truly wicked when seen in the prosaic surroundings of a modern New York apartment (filming was at the legendary Dakota where John Lennon was shot in 1980). Polanski brilliantly establishes the atmosphere of evil without indulging in nasty excesses; thusly viewers were (and still are) held spellbound throughout by the pervading malevolence. Farrow gives a remarkably honest and realistic performance and her appearance is at once beguiling and eventually elfin-ish (her haircut caused quite a stir at the time). The unique Ruth Gordon so impressed audiences with her portrayal of Minnie, the eccentric modern-day witch who lives next door that she won herself an AA. ("I can't tell ya how encouragin' a thing like this is at my age" she told the academy). Sidney Blackmer is right as her "warlock" husband and there's Hope Summers (Andy Griffith) and the great comic veteran Patsy Kelly in support. Considering most films from this era (i.e. circa 1967-1972) date badly, this flick stands on its own-its a truly frightening work of art.

Summary: Best Thriller/horror film ever made
Review: Anyone that enjoys a good chiller movie, should not miss "Rosemary's Baby". The direction by Roman Polanski is awesome and truly creepy. Mia Farrow is perfect as Rosemary, the innocent woman betrayed by her vain actor husband. John Cassavetes is captivating as Rosemary's husband, his original brand of Brandoish-Kazan acting in this film makes one wonder why he didn't recieve an oscar for this performance. The oscar winner for this film (best supporting actress) is the fine talent Ruth Gordon, don't miss her in this one. Gordon really camps up her role as the old witch next door, making her comical, yet still very scary. Get this one, you won't reget it!

Summary: Rosemary's Baby
Review: Rosemary's baby is the granddaddy of morden horror movies. A housewife who begins to suspect that her neighbours are morden day witches plotting against her and her baby. Very scary but a very stupid ending.

Summary: good movie, sucky ending.
Review: The movie was good right down to that ending. If it were me I would just kill the people and kill the baby. The baby wasn`t even a normal baby. I just think that it was a great movie but should have made the ending better, but that`s not the director`s fault it`s the author`s.

Summary: Not the best horror movie, the best movie.
Review: Seen it 40 times. This movie is perfect. It is astonishing that it was made so long ago. The entire movie is a buildup to the final sequence where she accepts the child. Though shocking, we realize it's not the least bit of a surprise - given her devotion to what she carried for so many months. Best line: "He has his father's eyes"
Rating:
Summary: Best horror film of all time.
Review: Though not a film that fans of gory slasher films will love, definitely one of the smartest horror films ever, and by far the best. The sense of paranoia that Rosemary feels is conveyed very well, to the point where you almost feel as she does.

Summary: Stunning. Stands the test of time¿¿
Review: Strangely, I'd never seen Rosemary's Baby until recently. On reflection, I can imagine that at the time of its initial release it was viewed as scandalous, outrageous, horrific. I'll admit it doesn't compete on the same plain as the high-tech CIG assisted horror films of today for out and out blood and guts, but I don't think that was ever its intent. This movie is haunting, unnerving, subtle, and seductive. Roman Polanski wasn't just playing the kazoo here. Every shot is styled, timed, and positioned meticulously, and beautifully to craft an ingenious adaptation of the Ira Levin novel. It's not without Polanski's own subtle touches. I love the 'aren't you Victoria Vetri, the actress?" question Rosemary (Mia Farrow) asks the 'real' Victoria Vetri (playing a bit part in the film's opening sequence). Ypu may recognize Samantha Steven's father, Maurice (Maurice Evans) as 'Hutch'.Ruth Gordon is a scene stealer as the nosy neighbor, and John Cassavettes' shines in a very subdued and strong performance as Rosemary's husband, Guy, a man with a hidden agenda. A masterful piece of work, today, or tomorrow.

Summary: Campy classic mixed with genuine horror
Review: A genuinely horrifying thriller, mixed with some quirky performances (Ruth Gordon is just too wry to be genuinely scared of, and I for one was absolutely rolling when I saw Hope Summers, famous for playing goody-two-shoes Aunt Clara on the old "Andy Griffith Show", saying "Hail, Satan!"). You'd be pretty hard pressed not to also be slightly amused at Rosemary's ignorance which prevails throughout the film until almost the very end (people dropping like flies around her and she still can't quite put two and two together . . ) A lot of fun for a Saturday night - my only complaint is that it's a bit too long.
