Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Directed by Roman
Polanski this film based on the novel of the same name stars Mia
Farrow, John Cassavetes, Ruth Gordon and Sidney Blackmer. Is a young
woman slowly buckling under the mental and physical pressure of being
pregnant or is there an evil plot to steal her baby?
It appears that the
film does a good job of sticking to the plot of the novel and the
story works well using the supernatural as a metaphor for mental
difficulties a woman suffer from around having a child. What I like
most about the film is that it leaves the audience to draw it's own
conclusions for a long time before the protagonist actually
verbalises what her fears are. Where I was less impressed was with
the direction as the film was neither unsettling, scary or really
ever tense in my opinion.
4/5
