I was searching for something to watch tonight after I
decided that I was not in the mood to write. Since I did not head to Family
Video, I was forced to find something on hand. After some thought, I went to a
classic: Roman Polanski’s 1968 classic Rosemary’s Baby.
Plot/ A young couple move into a new apartment, only to be
surrounded by peculiar neighbors and occurrences. When the wife becomes
mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins
controlling her life.
I have not seen the mini-series, and part of me does not
want to because there is no way anyone could come close to duplicating the
mastery of Polanski’s original classic. After all these years, Rosemary’s Baby
stands as one of the greatest psychological thrillers ever made. In many ways,
this is the perfect horror movie, with the perfect cast, a matching soundtrack,
dark and brooding atmosphere, amazing cinematography, and a storyline that
builds tension in all the right moments. The true genius of this film is
Polanski, who constructs this masterpiece as only he can, by creating subtle
unnerving tension throughout the entirety of the movie. It is truly amazing. In
the end, if you have not watched this masterpiece, you are missing one of the
best movies ever made. More than a horror flick, this classic is a must see; check
it out!!!
