Summary: Brilliant.
Review: Certainly on my ten-best list, ROSEMARY'S BABY is one of the most frightening films ever made. The genius of the film is that it juxtaposes the mundane with the most beastly and achieves it with little graphic violence. The carnage occurs mostly off-screen and we see the crowd in the street or hear the terrible news over the phone just as we would in real-life.

Polanski plays (or preys) masterfully on natural human paranoia and allows the viewer's imagination to construct the most heinous outcome. Mia Farrow is the innocent who is led by her "loving" husband, respected doctor and eccentric neighbors into a woman's worst nightmare.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the greatest examples of pure cinema
Review: For any student or film enthusiast, "Rosemary's Baby," is one of the greatest examples of pure cinematic form. Everything from the perfectly orchestrated script, to the casting, sets and cinematography make this film a textbook guide to study, watch and follow the tools of the film medium. Director Roman Polanski never allows any extraneous detail or scene to encumber or detract from this story of devilworshipping and paranoia. Mia Farrow conveys the right combination of vulnerability and cunning and creates a fully rounded character. The supporting cast of Ruth Gordon and John Cassavettes provides just the right balance of humour and villiany. Hasn't dated in its 31 years. Rent it or buy it now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT MOVIE!
Review: ROSEMARY'S BABY IS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE! I LIKE THAT THEIR WAS NO SERIAL KILLER OR BLOOD AND GUTS, BUT I LIKED THAT THE MOVIE DEALED WITH WITCHCRAFT. THAT'S COOL! GREAT ACTING, GREAT STORY, BUT IT ISN'T REALLY SCARY. BUT STILL IT'S A VERY GOOD MOVIE!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Chilling and powerful horror movie
Review: Roman Polanski does a great job at directing this superb horror movie based on the novel by Ira Levin. Set in the eerie Dakota building in NYC, this witty film is ranked as one of the best classic modern day thrillers. Mia Farrow's performance is good. And Ruth Gordon's is a gem.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The absolute worst movie ever made
Review: I consider it an amazing feat of strength that I managed to sit through this entire movie. Within the first 20 minutes you understand what's going on, so then you expect something to be done about it, but NOTHING HAPPENS! You try to convince yourself that the movie must be building up to a great ending sequence but it just isn't there. Without question this is only worth seeing if you want to find out how bad films can actually be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Engrossing, Believable Suspenseful, Thrilling Horror Classic
Review: This is my FAVORITE horror/suspense movie! The acting is so well done, with each performance absolutely believable. You wonder yourself if this is just a dream or is it reality? The mixture of then-current events of the 1960s woven into the lives of each character makes you feel as if your right in the movie with them! Superb acting, directing, filming. Makes you see how a movie doesn't have to be chop 'em up, slice-n-dice movie to be a legitimate horror classic! I used to stay up late every time it was on the Late Late Movie! And now, I even own a copy for myself! Absolutely a MUST SEE!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Polansky and Farrow does a great job
Review: First you think it's too boring to be a thriller but later on the question marks start to emerge and you start to enjoy the movie. Maybe you don't scream or close your eyes but it's a very good work for a pschological horror movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Horror in Drama.
Review: I think the director is confused about how to make this movie scary and plausible at the same time. The setting and the music are good because they make the audience want to know what will happen next. However , the long storytelling and lacking of any horrifying scene (I mean more blood) make the film so boring. Anyway , Mia Farrow's ability can make the story smoothly go on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent, classic thriller.
Review: The 1960's New York genre, good acting and direction make this movie a classic. Farrow is the consummate sweet and niave mother-to-be. She makes this movie stay with you and haunt you. The ending is a test of a mother's love, a mother will love her baby no matter how bad it is. Polanski is a genius.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you like really scary, suspenseful stuff....
Review: This is truly a classic! I've seen almost every horror movie, but this one is still my favorite! It's not gross, but very dramatic. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you like the movie, than read the book, too! This is a cool classic for anyone who loves horror.
