"He chose you, honey! From all the women in the world to be the mother of his only living son!"Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse (Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes) move into a new apartment in a old building. They are soon settled in and start to spend lots of time with their elderly neighbours Roman and Minnie Castevet (Sidney Blackmer and Ruth Gordon), especially Guy. But Rosemary is plagued with strange nightmares, which are forgotten about when Rosemary falls pregnant. Initially overjoyed Rosemary soon starts to feel ill and she starts to suspect her neighbours and their intentions, especially towards the baby. Worse still she cannot get out of her mind the thought that her husband may not be the father of her child!
Polanski does it again, producing a work where we are slowly drawn into the relationships and begin to feel a real unease at the situation presented. The apparent reality of the position Rosemary finds herself in makes the horror all the more real.
