An incredibly well crafted horror film with a fantastic script and it is genuinely scary. It maintained a sense of dread throughout and the last 45 minutes had my heart racing. The dream sequence halfway through of Satan raping Rosemary while the with coven is chanting might just be the most chilling thing I have ever seen. I would have never expected for the film to where it did, especially for being made in the 60s. I think this may be Polanski’s best film.
9/10

9/10
Great chiller, that nearly starts as a soap opera, but gradualy becomes creapier. Unlike modern horror movies it's more character driven, than effects filled.

I LOVE THE DAKOTA AND I THINK IT WAS A PERFECT SETTING FOR THIS. QUITE ACTIVE IRL, THERE!

This movie is horror perfection. The scene that makes chills go down my spine is when Rosemary is trying to makes sense out of the book that Hutch left for her. "Oh, the name is an anagram!"The scene where all the Scrabble tiles pile out onto the floor, and she's re-arranging the letters and then, almost out of nowhere there is that stark musical note that forebodes something awful. The way Rosemary gets the truth to unscramble itself and reveal itself to her with total clarity is spine tingling. |

Bump for 50th anniversary!
I think this might be the most frightening film I've ever seen.

7.5/10 but I voted an 8 to be generous. Not my favourite but still pretty good.

IMPO - A very perfectly done yet creepy effective film for the 1960's that still holds up even now and a young 23 year old Mia Farrow did a wonderful job with this one as well   . Also an interesting bit of trivia with this film too . In the scene when a pregnant Rosemary is crossing the busy city street  . I believe it was Polanski himself that filmed the actual scene because none of his camera crew wanted to risk getting hit by the fast moving cars coming towards them  . Also Mia Farrow was very nervous doing this scene but Polanski assured her that no one would risk hitting a pregnant woman with their cars   . Thanks so much salomonj for your subject post  . |

Very well crafted film, more fascinating to me than scary, though there are a few very chilling scenes, fine performances, especially Mia Farrow.
9/10

Mr. Vits, I know this is an old post and I can give you a hard time over your ratings, but I am very curious as to why you would rate such a classic film like RB a 3/10, which also equates to 1.5 stars out of 5. You may have changed your opinion since you last posted this. Mister?  There's a difference between a horror movie being slow in order to build up the suspense and a horror movie showing too many "normal" scenes. This movie is the latter, so there's no satisfying payoff (too bad, because the idea for the ending is very clever). In many scenes, the actors say their lines like they're reading them. Mia Farrow in particular failed to show real fear and desperation. The way ROSEMARY's husband reacted to the news of her pregnancy was unintentionally funny. He didn't have to jump around with joy or anything, but his "Oh, really? That's cool, I guess" attitude was distracting.

In the scene when a pregnant Rosemary
is crossing the busy city street .
I believe it was Polanski himself
that filmed the actual scene because none
of his camera crew wanted to risk getting hit
by the fast moving cars coming towards them .
Also Mia Farrow was very nervous doing this scene
but Polanski assured her that no one would risk hitting
a pregnant woman with their cars . Thanks so much salomonj for your subject post . This reminds me of the scene in Midnight Cowboy in which Ratso Rizzo is crossing a New York City street, and a car suddenly stops in front of him, horn blaring. I believe that was totally unplanned, and Hoffman's line "Hey I'm walkin' here!" was ad-libbed.

I so agree and also liked that scenes here too but I didn't know that his line in that
unplanned scene was ad-libbed either - well done Dustin Hoffman  .
Thanks so much Dramatic Look Gopher
for that cool bit of trivia here and your reply here too .

He didn't have to jump around with joy or anything, but his "Oh, really? That's cool, I guess" attitude was distracting. Well, I have to beg to differ over your take here. Rosemary's Baby is a slow burn into paranoia\neurosis that "deliberately" and skillfully blurs the lines between normal and abnormal. Isn't that the whole point of the scenario\set up. The climax is so matter of fact, random and black, that I find the payoff thoroughly satisfying and whole. It ended as it only could have ended and that was in keeping with Rosemary's own natural protective instinct, as she was throughout her entire pregnancy. But what a flawless journey into the truth.
This was a groundbreaking horror film and set a bar that really hasn't been surpassed in the horror\supernatural genre. And the fact that it plays out as a superb drama as well, simple on surface, but also complex, is a testament to all involved in the making of this classic gem.
Rosemary's husband sold his soul to the devil, or in his case, he really didn't have one to sell. That is why his reaction was so nonchalant. Farrow was so perfectly and delectably cast, she brought out Rosemary's vulnerability, naivety, neediness and even a distorted intelligence, but she was being despicably used and exploited and this is the key and heart of her performance. You are on her side the whole way, even if she was a tad spoiled and frivolous.
I loved the character of Rosemary Woodhouse, and thought that Mia Farrow was absolutely impeccable casting here. Though unlike you, I never saw her as somehwat spoiled, not with a half dozen siblings nor frivolous. Instead, I think maybe she was rather "coddled" and "naive"; she was smitten by Guy's charm and his good looks and his sophisticated worldly ways. Guy see through all that, too. He knew what he had in his "lamb-to-the-laughter" bit with Rosemary. Oh, what a scoundrel, And boy did Roman Polanski pick the perfect actor for THAT role as he is about as Guy is about as cold and unfeeling and narcissistic as they come. Oh, poor Rosemary, could have done sooo much better in a mate than that evil schlub. Oh, well, one of the best horror film s every made.
