Critics Consensus

A frightening tale of Satanism and pregnancy that is even more disturbing than it sounds thanks to convincing and committed performances by Mia Farrow and Ruth Gordon.

Times (UK)

... A claustrophobic horror that taps brilliantly into the uncertainties and queasy potential threats of childbirth.

New York Magazine/Vulture

The fault ultimately is in the Polanski screenplay which overlooks character for effect, disastrously. Involvement is absent; all is surface and it is a smooth one, without the shimmer of the evil that is within.

New York Daily News

Right to its bitter end, there is no escaping "Rosemary's Baby." On film Ira Levin's best selling novel is as horribly frightening as it was on paper.

The Movie Buff

The success of the film lies in the performances of Mia Farrow, as Rosemary, and Ruth Gordon, as Mrs. Castevet...

Film Frenzy

This box office hit emerged as one of the best chillers of its decade, and it still serves as a touchstone of the modern horror film.

Rated: 3.5/4

Film Freak Central

Krzysztof Komeda's score sounds lush enough, and the track delivers all those muffled, half-heard conversations with an uncanny dislocation despite the absence of stereo imaging.

Rated: 4/4

Kind of a snoozefest. If you’re a cinemaphile, sure, some good lighting, camera work. The psychological component of the film is pretty cool and it was undoubtedly unique for its time. Hence, Polanski’s “masterpiece”. All in all, a long slow burn with minimal action and suspense.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A timeless horror. Mia Farrow questions her reality whilst making you question your own.

This new birth introduces us to horror that we never realized was possible! The Woodhouse's move to a new apartment complex to have a child, only for the wife to suspect that their new neighbors are hiding something quite sinister. Drawing on paranoia and the occult, this iconic film manages to keep us in awe and suspense until the bitter end!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
