Editorial Review: Product Description: A loving New York couple is expecting their first baby, however Rosemary's husband makes a pact with the devil to send his career skyward. No Track Information Available Media Type: DVD Artist: FARROW/CASSAVETES Title: ROSEMARY'S BABY Street Release Date: 10/03/2000 Genre: HORROR Amazon.com essential video: Psychological terrorism and supernatural horror have rarely been dramatized as effectively as in this classic 1968 thriller, masterfully adapted and directed by Roman Polanski from the chilling novel by Ira Levin. Rosemary (Mia Farrow) is a young, trusting housewife in New York whose actor husband (John Cassavetes), unbeknownst to her, has literally made a deal with the devil. In the thrall of a witches' coven headquartered in their apartment building, the young husband arranges to have his wife impregnated by Satan in exchange for success in a Broadway play. To Rosemary, the pregnancy seems like a normal and happy one--that is, until she grows increasingly suspicious of her neighbors' evil influence. Polanski establishes this seemingly benevolent situation and then introduces each fiendish little detail with such unsettling subtlety that the film escalates to a palpable level of dread and paranoia. By the time Rosemary discovers that her infant son "has his father's eyes" ... well, let's just say the urge to scream along with her is unbearably intense! One of the few modern horror films that can claim to be genuinely terrifying, Rosemary's Baby is an unforgettable movie experience, guaranteed to send chills up your spine. --Jeff Shannon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Psychology? PerhapsThis film does for horror what "Gone With The Wind" did for drama. The blocking and filming is perfect. Farrow's acting is perfect and the direction is perfect. I think the true haunting nature of this film is wrapped deep within the celluloid. This is a film that was pre-produced, cast, directed and filmed, like hundreds of others of this genre: Yet this film turned out to be a true horror film. Perhaps this was just happenstance, the world may never know. The terrorism of ... Read More Rating:  - Classic psychological thrillerRosemary's Baby is Roman Polanski's adaptation of a great Ira Levin novel. Polanski wrote the screenplay as well as directed the movie. This film came out before I was even born, but I'm glad that I spent the time to watch it and was able to discover how good it is. At the start of the movie, a young couple, Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse, move into a creepy Manhattan apartment. These two characters are played brilliantly by John Cassavetes and Mia Farrow. Guy is a struggling actor, ... Read More Rating: - A Mother's DreadWARNING: This film contains adult subject matter including occultism, sexuality/nudity, frightening images and some language. In 1968, a controversial director named Roman Polanski (The Fearless Vampire Killers and The Ninth Gate) created a genuinely terrifying horror film. Rosemary's Baby was based on the novel by Ira Levin and proved to be a classic of modern horror films. The film is propelled by an astonishing cast who seem so natural in their respective roles that you forgot how ... Read More Rating: - Just plain creepyRosemary's Baby is a classic horror film that is a far cry from the gorefests of today. Not that I don't love the gore, but Rosemary's Baby scares on a psychological level. The creeps will stay with you long after the movie is over. A must see for any horror fan. Rating:  - Sid is renaming this one. It's now Rosemary's Does It Hurt BabyIs Rosemary's Baby a horror classic? Well, conventional wisdom says yes, without a doubt. It was made in 1968, placing it in the early stages of horror prominence. And, certainly, it was more difficult to make a horror film back then. Remember, this was before somebody said "You know what? I really don't need a plot here. I'll just have a killer run around after people for an hour and a half." So, this film had to have a plot, which it did. But it wasn't anything special. The number of scares in the ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
