About this movie

Possibly the best horror film ever made, this brilliant adaptation of Ira Levin's best-selling novel is the story of a loving young New York City couple who are expecting their first child. Like most first-time mothers, Rosemary (Mia Farrow) experiences confusion and fear. Her husband (John Cassavetes), an ambitious but unsuccessful actor, makes a pact with the devil that promises to send his career skyward. Director Roman Polanski elicits uniformly extraordinary performances from the all-star cast. Ruth Gordon won an Oscar® for her performance as an oversolicitous next-door neighbour in this classic chiller.

Garbage film for pseudo-intellectuals and drone "film buffs" who couldn't tell you if a movie was good unless Ebert said so beforehand. I regret spending money on this monstrosity.

Liked the New York scenery and music for start. The plot was intriguing and what an all star cast. I didn't know Vidal Sassoon did the haircut for Mia Farrow. Watch this movie over and over.

An absolute classic! One of the best horror films ever made! Tense atmosphere, good character building, leaving room for imagination. Perfect combination of everything..
