The year 1965. Guy and Rosemary Woodhouse, a young couple, move into Rosemary's dream apartment in an old apartment house in New York. The dream turns into a nightmare when Rosemary, now happily pregnant at last, starts to suffer from terrible pains. Is there something wrong with the baby? Are the pains caused by the herb drink which her kind, but nosy, neighbor Minnie Castevet makes her drink every morning, or is there some connection with the strange religious music and singing that Rosemary hears from Castevets' apartment? Can there really be a group of witches at work next door? Witches in New York City - in 1965? and who is the real father of Rosemary's baby?

Der Leser weiß (so er den Film nicht gesehen hat und noch nie was über das Buch gehört hat) bis zum letzten Kapitel nicht, ob all dieser Horror...
Rosemary's Baby is not very scary but it was pretty strange and I enjoyed it. Rosemary and her husband were really wanting to get into the Bramford apartment complex and right when they had signed a lease on another apartment it becomes available and Rosemary begs her husband Guy to get them out of ...
I think I remember some comments about how the movie was a campy style of horror. It left me completely unprepared for this read.This is horror alright. I'm unsettled while writing this, actually. I think it's that most of it is more or less plausible. You take away the supernatural bits, and it wou...
