This is what I call a good horror movie. When you don't have any gore elements, when you don't hear protagonists scream from the top of their lungs, when the plot develops gradually and builds suspense which will drive you mad if you don't find out what's really happening.
Rosemary's baby is a masterpiece, a movie you could watch over and over again. There are few situations which you simply can't understand and start asking yourself: "Why did he/she do it? Couldn't it have been different?" There are pieces of a jigsaw that get solved through the movie. Everything makes sense, but there is still some hope that the movie would take a different path.
The story begins with a couple of newlyweds who buy a beautiful big flat (previously belonging to a lady who died under suspicious circumstances) in New York with plans of starting a family and living in joy and peace. They become friends with an elderly couple next door, somewhat pushy, but nice. But it's not all roses. Soon there's an accident when a girl who's been living with the couple commits suicide and the relationship between Rosemary and her husband starts to grow colder. But they are still trying on the baby and after one unexplainable night, Rosemary gets pregnant. This is when all the trouble begins.
I won't reveal much more about the movie's plot. The movie draws you into its perplexity, you start to ask million questions and try to convince yourself that that's not really happening. But, it is. It is as bad as it looks. And it will never end, oh no, it won't.
After you finish watching the movie, you can't help but ask yourself: "What would I have done if I had found myself in the same situation? Do I understand the protagonists' actions?" This is such a smart movie which questions human psyche and digs deep into human's mind to find some answers, to show what a hopeless woman/man would all do when he/she finds himself/herself in such a horrible situation and with such a dreadful destiny.
