    a spine chiller of its time

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 3, 2002

    seeing the film made me see how roman polanski shows his deep thoughts into his dream like picture ... sending chills down my spine and wondering what did rosemary really think ? was she hellusenating the whole time or was she a naive woman who has a sick mind of acceptiong a demon as a child and it was great mia farrows role matched the character which was portrayed in the film

    Things it needed

    First of all, this isn't a great horror classic, because it's not really in the horror genre, it's more in the mystery/suspense one. Second of all, back stories can make or break your movie, this has NONE WHATSOEVER(the whole "All of Them Witches" book doesn't count). Third, this movie was too long, if there were better music and more suspenseful moments, it would be enough to keep people sitting through it. And fourth, YOU NEED TO TELL US MORE... Just because they're witches doesn't mean I'm gonna finish the movie and know what the hell those people were doing in there, WE NEEED MORE.

    Baby, what bloodshot eyes you have!!

    Talk about mothers always saying their baby is beautiful...well this is the exception. That's why never go out drinking, and wake up the next morning trying to figure out who's the father. Scary story anyway if you can keep awake thru it.

    Boring & awful flat dialogue!

    My wife rented this as she's been wanting to see all the horror greats, this ain't one of them. We saw the Exorcist a few months back in the theater & that scared the crap out of me. During this movie, I couldn't stop yawning. It didn't hold my attention at all, I had to force myself to watch it as I've heard this movie is suppose to be a classic. It did get kind of eerie/weird towards the end, plus the end kind of left me thinking "What the hell?" (No pun intended!) Plus, as much as Rosemary was drinking alcohol, hanging around smokers, it makes perfect sense the child born screwed up! Sorry, this movie didn't creep or scare me at all.

    Polanski art imitated by life.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Feb 12, 2001

    A brilliant film about paranoia. Polanski's earlier American films all contain a certain feel that gets under your skin, a certain insidious corruption, brilliant and profoundly disturbing at the same time. Polanksi's "Repulsion" achieves just that. This film is even more fascinating for the reality that mirrored the storyline after this film was made. Polanski was married at the time to Sharon Tate who met a fate that most would be familiar with, one of the significant details of her death was that her fetus was cut from her womb as if it was some satanic sacrifice. Rosemary's Baby deals with that very subject, a group of satanists who wish to steal the child from the heroine as a sacrifice to the devil. Asides from this seriously spooky shit, there is also another less spooky story but nevertheless interesting story of Mia Farrow. At the start of filming she was married to Frank Sinatra who had insisted she star with him in his next film, she refused and starred in Rosemary's Baby instead. During filming it is said that she was approached by Frank's lawyers who had divorce papers for Mia to sign, which she did and that was that. Marriage finito. A fascinating film for both what went on, on screen and off screen, an absolute classic that you should own without question. The only criticism of this film would be the off beat ending which seems to mock the audience for taking itself so seriously. Considering the life imitating art aspects of this film, I would think it was more serious than Polanksi realised. Polanski was later forced to flee America because of charges of having sex with a minor under dubious circumstances and has as far as I know never returned. His period in America is Polanksi at his finest. A brilliant and profoundly nasty piece of work.
