Critics Consensus

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.

... A claustrophobic horror that taps brilliantly into the uncertainties and queasy potential threats of childbirth.

The fault ultimately is in the Polanski screenplay which overlooks character for effect, disastrously. Involvement is absent; all is surface and it is a smooth one, without the shimmer of the evil that is within.

Right to its bitter end, there is no escaping "Rosemary's Baby." On film Ira Levin's best selling novel is as horribly frightening as it was on paper.

Rosemary’s Baby takes the little flap of cuticle and peels it all the way up to the elbow. It was clearly the inspiration for many movies and moviemakers since. While watching this, I kept drawing parallels with Hereditary.

A masterpiece in slow-burn, paranoia and tension. One of the best psychological horror films ever. [Full review in Spanish]

Dont get the hype. This movie was mediocre. Good acting from the main character Rosemary but other than that the plot was very underwhelming and predictable.

Putting its controversial director aside. Even if you know the third act twist through pop culture this is an classic for a reason with an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere and some incredible performances (including an Oscar winning turn from Ruth Gordon)

The best thing about Rosemary's Baby may, in fact, odd to say, be its movie poster. The design cost the studio $1m and it was money well spent. The movie triumphed and Polanski became the hottest property in Hollywood. His personal life shattered, abruptly, the next year, and then came the sex scandal, but inbetween he made Chinatown, his most celebrated American movie, and another one of his that I find just a tad overrated. Rosemary's Baby, likewise, feels too slow for a horror movie. Being, as it is, a movie about annoying, nosy neighbours, watching it a second, third, or howevermanyeth time, means having to sit down with those ghastly people all over again. If the movie teaches us anything it is to be straight with people, or else they may take advantage. As a wise Englishman once said, give 'em an inch and before you know it they've got a foot, next thing you know you haven't got a leg to stand on. Definitely worth seeing once.
