Another Rosemary's Baby similarity

good point about the husband being so quickly convinced.

It is so similar! I’m watching it now and he is talking about the association men like they are the greatest and she complains and makes fun. This is the same way as when Rosemary didn’t want to hang out at Romans.. You’re right it is very similar. They also do go along so quickly yes…. Their career meant more?

I mean, they were both based on novels by Ira Levin so it's not a surprise they share similarities.

That’s feminism for you - men are portrayed as evil and marriage as toxic. Levin was clearly trying to erode trust in the institution, and it worked. Marriages constantly fail and young people are now terrified of relationships.

I give him a pass, though. Both stories are fantastic and became two of the best horror films ever made, partly because the husbands were so creepy. They seemed like decent guys but then it dawns on you that Guy immediately volunteered his wife to be raped by Satan so she would birth the antichrist in exchange for some acting gigs, and Walter was very happy to have his wife ‘copied’ into a complaint sexbot then murdered, despite having two children with her! There is even a suggestion that he knew this all along which is why he was so adamant about moving to Stepford. Eww!

The human evil is what chills the blood in Levin’s supernatural/sci-fi stories.
