Awful things happen in every apartment house, but Rosemary Woodhouse never could have imagined what would happen in hers in this chilling icon of horror cinema.
Based on the novel by Ira Levin, Rosemary's Baby follows Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow) through an unsettling journey of paranoia, pregnancy, and prenatal supplements as she and her husband Guy (John Cassavetes) move into an apartment next to weirdo neighbors the Castevets (Sidney Blackmer and Ruth Gordon, in an Oscar-winning performance) and attempt to conceive a child.

"Still stands as template of the film industry's far-reaching allure to achieve a European arthouse aesthetic successfully melded with mainstream pulp." — Nicholas Bell, IONCINEMA.com
