What happened to the ending?? Watching this movie and it just ends..


So this nutty first time Mother is buring a doll (which we see as a doll and see dirt getting thrown on the doll) and then there is this inside scene (supposely the next morning) the Father sees the doll in the crib and Mommy doesn't remember anything and doesn't know who Jessica is. Then it just ends with the Father running for Jessica (like a baby will answer him!!) who is obvivously dead by now, since she was buried alive. I assume they have no dog to dig up the shallow grave (when you see the doll in the ground she didn't dig very deep) with the baby Jessica in it. This is the weirdest movie, especially at the end. What is it supposed to be a Rosemary's Baby????

What is with the mice? That actually look like rats?!!!! I don't know where they lived, but other then in pet stores I have never seen white mice, other than as pets or at exispts (sp?) the only mice I've seen or killed in traps are brownish in color or they are grey.


Very weird movie..


Unrealistic ... She was so concerned about her hair color that she thought she left the baby at the store? She races to go back. What did she think the baby would still be there and nobody had called the cops in the 30 minutes(if not longer) it took her to get home and do her hair?! Lucky for her Jessica was in the van, which was unrealistic since the van was shut up tight and no open doors or windows. For as long as she left her there, she should have been dead from heat suffocation.


That baby sure did cry enough. Now my son was colicky and cried around the clock and never slept and I didn't go psyco like her.

Lord some people are slow.

I hate to make yuou feel stupid but seriously.

"So this nutty first time Mother is buring a doll (which we see as a doll and see dirt getting thrown on the doll) and then there is this inside scene (supposely the next morning) the Father sees the doll in the crib and Mommy doesn't remember anything and doesn't know who Jessica is.

Did the Father know his baby was buried genius? No. He probably thought she left the baby someplace safe but otherwise alone. She has done it before on numerous occassions. He wasn't supposed to magically think. "OMG she buried it!!" Next.

"who is obvivously dead by now, since she was buried alive."

That is something you and I know NOT the husband. Next.

"I assume they have no dog to dig up the shallow grave (when you see the doll in the ground she didn't dig very deep) with the baby Jessica in it. This is the weirdest movie, especially at the end. What is it supposed to be a Rosemary's Baby????"

No. I'll say this very slowly. This is a film about a woman suffering post-partum depression and more probably post partum psychosis. She is slowly losing her mind. She is seeing and hearing things that aren't there and feeling increasingly more afraid for her baby while ironiclly being the one to put her in the most danger. There is nothing supernatural in this film, this is simply to show us how skewed her mind has become. Thinking someone has cast a spell on her when in actuality she is simply losing touch with reality. This was proven by her looking at the page with the rats and then to another page with the baby (which I entirely feel she mentally perceived as being there, not the actual image or page). She rushed to her child's room seeing rats that weren't there and proceeded to shake her child, an action which would have resulted in her death if not for her husband. There are other hints to this, we as the viewer are supposed to jump and think it's a ghost, a psycho, Jessica, the nanny. But in all reality it is simply her. This movie portrayed brilliantly how our own fears can consume us. For instance have you ever walked outside your house and felt something strange as if eyes were on you. In the beginning of the movie she walks out of her home to see the half-buried doll, a disturbing sight which would unnerve anyone. Now imagine living in a remote part of town, knowing you are all by yourself and aware that even if you had been able to protect yourself before as a pregnant woman you would not know. This is what we are seeing both from her pov and others. Her world is becoming more and more a threat to her when it actuality it hasn't changed.
