Rosemary's Baby

E:
This was Roman Polanski's first American film. A lot of people rank it amongst the all time scariest. I disagree. It's from another era. I definitely found the moobie unsettling... a little goosebumpy even, but not truly scary. Mia Farrow was a good casting choice - apparently not a first choice but I think her meek facade helped the characterization. She plays Rosemary. She and her husband move into a new apartment next door to an odd older couple. Upon learning she's pregnant, some unusual events lead her to believe that the people around her (husband, old couple next door) are plotting something sinister.
This film is pivotal in the history of scary moobies. I can appreciate that this was an extremely different approach to horror than its cinematic predecessors. I mean really, The Blob? Creature from the Black Lagoon? Rosemary led the way for anything like The Shining to ever occur.
It's worth a view. If only to understand where psychological horror began.

"There's an undertaste..." my favorite line.
