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:  - 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 ...

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 Rating: - A classic modern horror filmThis film is now 40 years old but it still shines bright as an intelligent and carefully constructed film of suspense and the supernatural. The city of New York is as much a player in the drama as are the nest of witches that begin to integrate themselves into the lives of Rosemary and her husband. The film is a masterful and strategic narrative that draws poor Rosemary deeper into the influence of a bunch of modern day witches trying to bring about the birth of the son of Satan. The acting ...

Lord help us all. However, I rush to add that Farrow's horrendous hair is about the only negative I can attach to this flick; Roman Polanski was at the height of his powers here, as were a number of folks in front of the camera, and the combination came up with an effective, if somewhat slow, thriller that still works after forty years.
