Rosemary\u2019s Baby (1968)<\/div>
Directed by Roman Polanski<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
There are a good group of movies that are considered classics of the horror genre.\u00a0 Frankenstein, Psycho, Halloween, etc. Rosemary\u2019s Baby is on that list.\u00a0 Considered a landmark in horror movies, this is held in high regard by genre fans and critics alike.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen this twice, once back when I was probably 16, and just this month in theater, how does it hold up?<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Rosemary\u2019s Baby is about a woman, Rosemary and her husband moving to a new floor in an apartment building. After they move they get to know the neighbors, an old couple, while interesting they\u2019re also a little intrusive and odd. The husband really takes a liking to them and they spend a lot of time with the couple and their friends. Rosemary is soon pregnant and things start getting strange. The movie continues on slowly, emphasis on slowly. Things go from odd, to bizarre to borderline disturbing at the end, which I will ruin later so spoiler alert\u2026.I suppose. This movie is old as fuck so what have you been doing in the last 55 years?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The acting is pretty solid. Mia Farrow puts in a good performance as Rosemary. The rest of the cast is pretty good as well. The director is a piece of shit but I\u2019m not covering that in this review, google Polanski and how Chris Hansen would like him to have a seat. Anyway\u2026my thoughts on this movie? Seeing that there is little to no special effects, aside from the younger woman falling out of the window and dying on the street, I can\u2019t truly cover any of that. I guess I have to just give how I feel about the movie as a whole.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It is a slow burn. Slow burn movies can be great, if the payoff is truly crazy or worth the time spent. I have to state that I watched this at 11:35pm, after watching 6 other horror movies in the same seat. This movie is 2 hours long. It was 1:30am when I left and man this was a CHORE to get through. So much that an older woman sitting behind my friend fell asleep and was snoring halfway through. I nodded off probably around 4 to 5 times during the movie, this movie is the slowest of all slow burns. It isn\u2019t like I can\u2019t handle that type of movie, I enjoyed Witch, Midsommar, and The Exorcist. Hell Psycho could kind of be considered a slow burn and I love it. I think my biggest issue is the pay off with this movie. I\u2019m looking at this with 2023 eyes, so maybe it was much more shocking back in 1968 but the fact that the baby is the legit son of the devil is kind of meh now. The cradle is black, the shawl over it is black and they never show the baby, which I do not have a big issue with, but her reaction to the whole situation is suppose to be the 2 hour pay off to this. I guess I wanted more, and I\u2019ve seen this in the past. I remember enjoying it before but this time around it was rough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Maybe my attention span isn\u2019t made for this type of movie. Maybe we don\u2019t want to admit that it hasn\u2019t aged well, or maybe, just maybe it leaves a lot to be desired? I can say that having this the last movie in a 12 hour movie marathon was a bad choice. In the words of the girl leaving the theater behind me: \u201cI think I\u2019d rather birth the spawn of satan than watch this movie again.\u201d I give Rosemary\u2019s Baby a D. I admit the movie is decently made but maybe it just isn\u2019t for me. A parting issue I can share, there is a scene where Rosemary and her husband agree to bang one out, and they show them getting undressed, for like 3 minutes, uncut, no change of angle, nothing. I don\u2019t know much about filmmaking but that wasn\u2019t fun to look at.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
