    A truly classic film where everything appears routine on the surface. Evil is never really visible, but it's always lurking in the shadows. I saw this movie at its release when I was a preteen, and it still gives me the shivers.

    One of the great films of all-time. It is actually a combination of dark satire, horror & ocult which puts it in it's own genre. The acting is superb & the story line is simply riveting.

    In one of the documentaries, Mia Farrow tells the story of an actor - playing the Devil - with cat’s eye contact lenses and reptilian suit, humping away on her. When the various takes were done, he shook her hand and said, “It’s been a pleasure working with you, Miss Farrow.” Farrow herself thought that was very funny, if a bit disconcerting!

    Rosemary deserved everything she got, for what she did to that apartment. And I bet I know exactly which one she ruined (well... the one used as her unit, for filming). The shutters are STILL painted white - even on the streetside. Great little video! The imagery is super sharp! I don't think I've ever noticed how clearly we can see the interior of the Dakota. This must be from a remastered version. The woodwork was in SO much better shape, half-a-century ago, when this was filmed, than it is today (refinished to less-than-museum-level standards, in most instances).

    • @megaswenson
      @megaswenson Před 6 lety +2

      Are you sure about that? Because the radiator grille below the window is EXACTLY what's standard in the Dakota - EXACTLY. And the woodwork in Roman & Minnie's apartment is EXACTLY what I've seen in the Dakota (just with a less sleazy/polyurethaned finish than I've seen, since in the intervening decades, the varnish has mostly been replaced).

Hope Summers and Patsy Kelly as WITCHES is sheer genius!

    This film worked because the novel was so compelling and read like a movie. Most of the actor were very good with the major exception of Mia Farrow. Her winey voice and inability to act was bad enough. However, she gets a haircut mid-film where she looks terrible. "It's Vidal Sasson" she screams. And even though it's written to draw you in every time she has a dramatic line it seems comical, "This isn't a dream. This is real".
