Am I the only one who thinks the Satanic aspects of this movie are just kind of silly? Hail Satan, hail Satan. Okay, sure, whatever. There's a lot of creepy and unsettling stuff here, but the main conceit with the satanists seems to have lost its impact at this point. Pretty cool movie, though.

There's a lot of creepy, tense scenes and moments, however watching Mia Farrow descend into a paranoid wreck is more upsetting and repulsive than it is scary. The ending is the complete opposite of the subtle events that proceeded it, and ruins the mood completely. It's frustrating how the lack of gore and jump scares and the strong atmosphere would point to it being a great subtle horror, but the film squanders the possibilities it offers.

It'd be a perfect film, were it not for that one shot that read "Directed by Roman Polanski." Seriously though, it's hard to not see this film as Polanski's ultimate wish fulfillment: a girl gets raped, mentally tortured, and gaslighted, but accepts it for the benefit of her abuser. Still, the film is a marvel as it merges Hitchcockian technique with profound social commentary on the disposability of women & their struggles. And Farrow is consistently amazing--including in that final scene.

When I take back one kadam, it's because 'Rosemary's Baby', whilst probably very scary for it's time, has dated a bit. It's a thinking man's horror, suited for anyone who prefers eeriness over shock. Great acting helps Polanski display his amazing talent for making people seem uncomfortable. Supposedly set up so that it can be read as Farrows character having a mental breakdown... But I say fuck that! He has his father's eyes! The year is one! Hail Satan!

The paranoia Polanski builds is effective, but the movie is slowly paced, and I'm not crazy about the ending. It does work really well as a mental breakdown movie, though, but Polanski had made 'Repulsion' three years earlier, and Deneuve > Farrow.

Ah, Rosemary's Baby. It's like a nightmare you don't want to wake up from. I find the religious aspects in this a lot easier to swallow than those in, say, The Exorcist, because of its ambiguity, but taken at face value it manages to be weirdly subtle amid all the madness. That's the end of my review, really but I need to say it, don't I? Right: GOD IS DEAD! SATAN LIVES!

Terrifying movie and not a trace of blood. It's a great way to freak yourself out on a Saturday night. What makes this film so unique is that the terror is visceral. There is little screeching and howling as is common of most horror heroines. She's just frightened for her baby. And so are we.

Polanski utilizes idiosyncratic architecture, silence, and shadow to great affect, creating a sense of dread that permeates the entirety of this classic horror film. Unfortunately, the grand revelation isn't much of a revelation at all; countless spoilers have robbed it of any possible emotional impact and the entire film feels like a march toward the inevitable.

Not really a fan of Farrow, and watching her as a whining, helpless wuss for an hour and a half didn't really do anything for me. As for scares, horror is a genre that doesn't really age well, so if you're wanting that, the 60's is the wrong place to look.

Maybe a little silly but still effective. It's an anti-horror film, if you will, containing more quiet tension and creepy atmosphere than outright scares and thrills. Polanski really capitalizes on the paranoia and dread, and even though the film has been so absorbed into pop culture, these elements are still palpable.

I enjoyed the subtle build-up of tension and alienation with a normally safe environment, even though it does lose some momentum past the halfway point. The dream sequences were fantastic, I would've loved to see more of those. Most of the time I felt deeply uncomfortable seeing Farrow's decline. The climax was a bit awkward and lost a lot of tension it built up before. Really, if I wanted to see old people shout "Hail Satan!" I never would have moved out of my parents' place.

As much as I hate to admit it, the directing is excellent and the screenplay is super sharp and relevant. Kind of ironic that it’s made by you-know-who😅Some weird dialogue aside, this was great from the deeply unsettling first act to haunting end. I really liked Farrow, Casavetes and of course Ruth Gordon as the intrusive neighbor across the hall. Free of brutal violence and jump-scares in favor of high tension and the horrors of gender roles and societal expectations. A really effective film.

A perfect example of how good writing, together with clever, nuanced directing and fantastic music, are the things that will really creep you out -- not necessarily ghastly visuals. The one purportedly "horrific" visual here (a depiction of "The Beast", though brief and limited) is actually the film's weakest link: it's so cliche it just damages the mystery. The ending is also disappointingly conservative. Still, this is one great classic with excellent performances by the main cast.

The very slow tension built throughout doesn't always pay off but this is considered by many to be a classic for a reason. Somehow it only seems more poignant in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement where a vulnerable young woman is drugged and raped and everyone around her is gas-lighting her into thinking everything is fine. Wait... Roman Polanski made this?

Polanski clearly has a hold on psychological horror, and all of his considerable directing talents and skills are used to full effect in Rosemary's Baby. I love the ending, because it confirms all of Rosemary's ridiculous paranoia. I can't think of other films that end similarly, even if it may seem goofy as hell. Mia Farrow's performance is fantastic.

No piece of fiction has horrified me as much as Rosemary's Baby. Conception, pregnancy and birth as a way to develop a horror story is just plain genius. After 45 years the movie didn't age one bit, as it does not depend on any fireworks. I know that Mia Farrow got divorced over this movie, but it was totally worth it. One other thing this movie proved was that there is nothing scarier than a group of New York Socialites.

The best horror movie ever made? Possibly. Rosemary's Baby is a thrill ride without any true jump-scares, A problem in today's horror industry. It's cast hits all the right notes and Polanski films everything too perfectly in a way to sense moral, psychological, and emotional tension. It builds through every shot and strike of an instrument. Rosemary's Baby is a film all should study when trying to build an atmosphere for their movie.

1 of the most intellectual horror films ever made w/o ever showing any violence. This style is chosen because Polanski seems to think on 2 main issues: 1)upper classes' exploitation of the lower ones: you should make a Faustian deal with the old "vampire" to be successful in society. 2)The paranoia and fears of a mother, the immense societal pressure on women to have children, which are nothing less than horrific. It's dreamlike quality and simplicity of the story make it unique & more haunting.

I'm so glad I finally watched this movie. There was hardly a time where I was scared at all but it was definitely an intriguing movie to see. Mia Farrow was so beautiful and a heck of an actress in Rosemary's Baby. You truly start wondering if she is crazy or if she is involved in some sort of Supernatural plot. There are some cool surreal moments like after she has the mousse. Sometimes you feel the length of the film, but then it pulls you back in with the good story. A classic for sure.

Everything works. It is so incredibly plausible, like the other entries to the 'apartment trilogy' because there's that element of whether or not it's all in her head or if there really is a plot against her. Of course, things do go off the rails, but even though it's jarring, it simply escalates everything to a fever. Mia Farrow is excellent.

I was immediately hooked by the story about a young couple expecting their first child. I didn't particularly care about supernatural Satanists.

In which a teeming metropolis is transformed into a claustrophobic prison cell. Experiencing great distress, Rosemary has few people to turn to, as her husband repels other visitors and her doctor demands complete authority over her daily routine. This is an existential horror movie about the fragility of our social associations: What if the people closest to us, our partners and neighbors, and even those who are formally entrusted to protect us, don't really have our best interests at heart?

Surprisingly low-key and formal given its premise. It's interesting how unclear it remains for the longest time whether or not the conspiracy forming in Rosemary's head has any basis in fact. It's an effective way of tackling the notion of female hysteria. In addition, having a late-60s film so nakedly portray an artist spitting in the face of religion is very interesting (nice use of the famous "Is God Dead?" Time issue). But above all, it's just a nice, tense, creepy horror movie.

Rosemary's Baby is a movie in which the ending is rather unimportant. Maybe "unimportant" isn't the right word, but that's the one that fits the most. Much like "Jaws", the immediate threat is not necessarily what the movie is about. It's about the events leading up to that threat. Roman Polanski's work in "Rosemary's Baby" is reminiscent of Hitchcock in the way that the suspense is so great that you feel as if you're a part of the story rather than an observer. Simply a masterpiece.

I admit to overrating "Rosemary's Baby" as I had an affinity for it growing up. Cassavettes is perfect for the role of the selfish cuck. More appropriately, I appreciated this film for the level of anxiety it masterly introduced to the horror genre, and how other directors have manufactured some of Polanski's techniques, and more sadly, how contemporary filmmakers within the genre neglect them today. Momentum is completely dead. Now they want to just make you spill a bunch of shit on yourself.

A very good and effective horror movie that could have been great if it didn't go the whole HAIL SATAN route. I honestly just expect more from Polanski. It's probably the weakest of his Apartment Trilogy. Unlike in Repulsion (and even The Tenant), Rosemary's Baby is, at times, downright silly. The ending is a bit much.

Quite dated 1960's style and sensibilities. A simple story, a bunch of witches make a deal with the devil. Lots of plot holes. Whatever shock value it may have had back in 1968 is lost today. The movie was made before good special effects or computer graphic imagery, so there is much left to your imagination. The story is a long slow build up to a final disappointing crescendo. Many points for Mia Farrow, she was marvelous. It was not scary, not convincing and not particularly engaging.

It's one of the greatest ironies in the history of movies that Roman Polanski - convicted felon and who says that #metoo "mass hysteria", made one of the greatest feminist movies of all times. The infinite fear of losing control over your body and autonomy as a woman is embodied in a satanistic hyper-physicality. Farrow (another Hollywood irony) is raped, gaslight, abused and humiliated. By men, privately and institutionalized. For political and financial gain. 50 years before Kavanaugh.

Rosemary's Baby draws its power from the realistic universal discomfort of watching a very ill woman suffering during her pregnancy. Rosemary's innocence and naivete are instantly charming, and when things go wrong for her we feel her same paranoia and worry, genuinely concerned for the safety of her and her baby. The film preys on our innate parental instincts, creating a brand of horror that is both unique and personal.

"Rosemary's Baby" is a deserving classic and undoubtedly one of the very best horror films ever made. Marked by exquisite direction by Roman Polanski and some of the most stunning camerawork and fluid editing I've ever seen, while bolstered by superb performances, this is a chillingly effective thriller, full of creepy moments and containing one of the best dream sequences ever. The writing is also strong, but it is the mood, the atmosphere that Polanski creates that are the most remarkable.

I loved the pacing. The film was flowing very smoothly and the transition between the scenes felt very natural. The suspense was building up flawlessly. Nevertheless, I like Repulsion more than Rosemary's Baby, simply because I am not too keen with the subject matter of the latter. Mia Farrow's performance was extraordinary. In fact, I think the whole cast was chosen perfectly for their roles and they all did portray their characters in a superb way, possibly thanks to Polanski's directing.

The actual details of the plot to use Rosemary are somewhat silly, and this serves to make the final ten minutes of the film strangely comedic. The real horror of this film lies within the accumulation of domestic pains, from the mundane (an upset stomach on a frozen afternoon) to the extraordinarily brutal (spousal rape, an event so horrible that the characters can find no adequate response to it beyond a dumb acceptance.)

The acting and direction are exquisite alltogether, and Cassavetes IS the devil. The only thing that i didn't love about it is that it has a rather forced ending. Not the conclusion of what happens, not at all, just the way it is portrayed, like it is too rushed. Sill, chapeau bas.

Creepy, insinuating horror-thriller, masterfully handled by director Polanski, and a top-notch cast; Farrow's fragile performance is perfect, and a rogue's gallery of ageing character actors bring the sinister inhabitants of the building to life, especially Blackmer and Gordon as the ring-leaders. Bellamy is also outstanding as Farrow's doctor; the scene with Farrow at the pay-phone is almost worth the price of admission!

Great build of suspense & paranoia that keeps climbing up until the final scene. Only problem is that none of the suspense really started until forty minutes into the movie. It builds nicely after that, but up until that point the movie is pretty sluggish. Loved Mia Farrow's performance in this, and I didn't even recognize Ralph Bellamy under that beard.

It was alright, but the ending was a bit too long. Even though the protagonist behaves like an idiotic child sometimes, at other times she notices things that even a vigilant viewer could miss - interesting.

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.

This is an interesting horror film. It's a slow burner that never really frightens but instead gradually builds a remarkable sense of anxiety and paranoia.

It's a shame the whole thing happened that prevents Mr. Polanski from entering the country, because he is a masterful director. Mia Farrow also gives one of her best performances.

"Rosemary's Baby" is mildly thrilling at best. I found the protagonistic duo, Farrow and Cassavetes, to be particularly weak and obvious, while the way the story unfolds was rather unengaging to me. Still, Polanski manages to create a notably eerie atmosphere and, of course, the supporting cast is fine, especially Ruth Gordon, Sidney Blackmer, Maurice Evans and the voice of Tony Curtis.

Rosemary's Baby is a well-crafted, star-making vehicle for Mia Farrow. The core of a great chiller is there, but it drags on a bit too long.

Exquisite buildup of terror and paranoia. And a perfect conclusion. I can't tell if the slow pace and lack of mystery added to the experience or held it back. I'm thoroughly awed by this movie but I wasn't viscerally shaken by it in a way my brain tells me I should've been.

All the performances were off kilter and the direction was dreamlike and self aware. I wasn't into it for the first 30 minutes or so but at some point I got completely sucked in.

The satanic elements are more than a little goofy, even if they are intentionally humorous, but Rosemary's Baby still claw its way under your skin thanks mostly to Polanski's talent. His deliberate pacing results in a slow burn thriller that builds suspense and unease through gradual reveals and subtle shifts in color and sound. It is formally precise without feeling sterile, yet the source of terror is difficult to locate. Farrow shines in a tailor made role, and her fear is palpable.

My aversion to Farrow is ameliorated somewhat by this being her first real performance; her irritating tics aren't quite so prominent or, uh, irritating, and she actually looks reasonably attractive in the first act with that wig on. Poor Woody, fooled into thinking she had something. The plot is pretty cheesy, but Polanski's direction is just absurdly good. I've never seen dreams shot like that.

Rosemary's Baby excels in the horrors of the mundane. It's not so much the satanic element that's frightening as much as the idea of being used and abused by those you trust or even love. The sound int he film is excellent, as Polanski does a great job of utilizing everyday household objects to create a sense of dread. The biggest issue is in its strict adherence to the book, as the character of Terry felt entirely unnecessary. A worthy classic, though not without faults.
