- Hello Friends!
I am continuing my Spooky Movie Marathon for the month of October with Rosemary's Baby. I am so sensitive when it comes to horror so I was pleasantly surprised how much I loved this movie.
Watching Rosemary go through all of the manipulation was some of the hardest thing to watch.
The closest people to you taking advantage of you is truly scary. So this makes this movie extremely terrifying.
Rosemarys Baby should be a required watch in High school and College. I think this movie perfectly represents those of us who are more on the quiet shy side and how easily sinister people can take advantage and manipulate you. Anyone can fall prey to these types of people.
I enjoyed the creepy twists and turns in this. What a fantastic film!

As someone who has a massive phobia of pregnancy and childbirth, this movie along with Alien and Eraserhead terrifies me in the way most horror movies can't manage 😭
I once heard someone describe this movie as "feminist horror' and honestly, it is. I'm glad you gave it a chance but this movie hits hard.
Mia Farrow was married to Frank Sinatra at the time who wanted her to be a stay-at-home wife, but she went ahead and accepted to play this part. He had the divorce papers delivered to her while she was filming on set.
Also, the original book was written by a man, Ira Levin, which impresses me a lot because it talks about very important topics concerning women, like gaslighting, abusive relationships (Guy is the worst. Worst!), showing maternity without glamourizing it, the way everybody wants to control women's bodies, etc... There is a gothic short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman called "The Yellow Wallpaper", about a woman who has a baby and probably has some depression, but then her husband, a therapist, decide is better not to let her see other people or get out of her room, isolating her - the room, covered in yellow paper, start to drive her insane. It was a huge influence for the book and even more in the book, since yellow is a key color in Rosemary's scenes.
Thank you for being so open to watching classic and lesser known films! It's really exciting to see this where a lot of React channels tend to watch a lot of the same stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but variety is always good and I'm glad I can come here for that!
Polanski is a problematic figure to say the least. Nevertheless, this film was indeed groundbreaking, serving as a metaphor for the commanding and intrusive nature a patriarchal society has in its treatment of women.
Oh, by the way, the reason why Rosemary has no relatives of her own to call on was in the book. They have shunned her because she married a Protestant. All except an older sister who calls her just after, (or just before, I can't remember) she's raped by the Devil because she has some sort of premonition that she's in danger. That was one of the few things Polanski left out of the screenplay but I think you're right to have noticed it. I think it was one of the very few errors of judgement in the transfer from novel into film. It would have totally answered your question as to why she's all alone and has only Guy to turn to.
One of the few horror movies to receive an academy award. Ruth Gordon won for best supporting actress.
it drives me nuts when i see people being like "why would dr. hill do that to her at the end??" or something like that because the whole point is that it's 1966 and OF COURSE her male doctor is going to call her husband and other men and tell them how crazy their woman is being and would you please come and fetch her right away? he doesn't need to be in on it to dismiss her out of hand because the sexism of the time enables the cult to control Rosemary the way they do
This is true psychological horror, very much a template for a lot of movies that came later. We find out information at the same time Rosemary does, for the most part, so we share a lot of what she's experiencing in a more visceral way. What a good start to the Halloween movie season!
"Rosemary's Baby" contains an in-joke. In the laundry room of the building, Rosemary meets the young girl Teresa. During their conversation, Rosemary tells Teresa that she looks like actress Victoria Vetri. The joke is that Teresa is actually played by Victoria Vetri. Though in the credits, she is billed under the pseudonym Angela Dorian.
I did an essay in film school about women-centric horror. I included this movie, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992), and The Stepford Wives (1975). All are fantastic.
This movie is a true classic. It's very psychological and was ahead of its time. I'm glad you reacted to it
The directors and artists back in the day left these breadcrumbs to put us on. Eyes wide shut by Kubrick is trippy af too.
To answer your question about where her family was: In the book, which this movie was based on, I believe it’s explained that her Catholic family shunned her after marrying a non-Catholic. I believe she tries to contact them several times but they just don’t wanna know.
That was excellent. Can't wait for your next reaction.
Love your Horror reactions. Really addicting
The first time I saw this movie I was 10, and it freaked me out. It was on Halloween, 1976, and many tv stations in the 70’s & 80’s had a tradition of showing this movie in particular, and various other ones. What made “Rosemary’s Baby” unique is that it was considered one the best horror movies, yet there is almost no gore, and no one is murdered (Theresa’s bloody body is seen AFTER she mysteriously falls to her death). We never see Hutch go into a coma or die, even though we know the witches put a spell on him that killed him.
Love the video imon Nation stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
This reaction was so damn good lol...more, please.
