i mean theres literally no scary moments and although they're satan worshippers they're never actually mean or scary towards her. i cant see how this is deemed one of the scariest films of all time.
shareLadsontour, by your user name you are obviously a male, but a female (as the victim is) should be watching this film and imagining that they are Rosemary, by doing that the film is terrifying.
shareIt's psychological, eerie, creepy, and supernatural. It's not about stuff jumping out at you and blood and guts. In other words, it's for grownups.

There aren't a lot of big scares. It's more of an subtle, unsettling psychological horror.
The dream sequence that leads to the demonic rape scene is the most frightening part of the movie, actually, not the ending where Rosemary finds out Guy really has joined a Satanic cult and Satan is the actual father of her baby.
It's creepy to think that people who are part of your life could be conspiring against you and you don't even know it. And you can't stop it because you don't know how big the cult is or who's part of it so you don't know who you can trust.
shareI really can't figure out why this is rated so high?? It's not scary, not even the definition of a Thriller?? I don't get it??
shareIt’s not supposed to be ‘scary’, if you watch it to the end and pay attention then it’s deeply disturbing and gets under your skin like few other films.
Rosemary is a sweet, innocent, trusting girl and she’s married to a charming man who, without hesitation, manipulates her into taking a date-rape drug so that she can be raped by Satan, while he and a coven of seemingly normal people stand around and watch.
Her body tries to reject Satan’s spawn, but everyone around her, including her trusted doctor, persuades her to see it through. They then drug her during the birth and steal her baby.
When she tracks it down she realises that she has indeed given birth to the Antichrist, who will now take over the world. The greatest horror is the final victory when the demon-baby is crying and Mr Castevet tells Rosemary to ‘rock him’. She does. Her maternal instincts are too strong, and she joins the cult. The lullaby from the opening credits plays again with a horrific new meaning - Rosemary is raising Satan’s child.
The key to the film is Guy, her husband. Even before the unthinkable things he does to Rosemary, he agrees to have a man permanently blinded so that he can get an acting gig. That kind of cowardly, banal human evil is all too real. The recognisable human evil is what makes Rosemary’s Baby so chilling.
It's psychological horror. First time I saw it I didn't think much of it but now I find it unsettling how this poor woman is being manipulated, poisoned and psychologically tortured. I guess it must affect women 10 times more.
