205. Rosemary’s Baby (1968)

  • Summary

  • Horror films do not typically win Academy Awards but Ruth Gordon won Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of the Upper West Side NYC witch-next-door in the terrifying thriller that defined lead actress Mia Farrow’s career, Rosemary’s Baby. Based on the best-selling novel by Ira Levin and cementing the legendary status of director Roman Polanski, this movie was a huge box office hit and generated endless articles debating its feminist message, in one of the most chilling gaslighting stories of all time. Since its release we’ve seen the horror genre grow increasingly bloody, gruesome and explicit. So while Rosemary’s Baby focuses on the psychological body-horror of something evil growing inside of an expectant mother, does it still have the same impact on today’s audience that it had over half a century ago. Find out what if our panel of young film-lovers got those same chills from this horror classic.
