➱ STAFF REVIEW:
A landmark in horror cinema, "Rosemary's Baby" remains a masterclass in building dread and psychological suspense. Directed by Roman Polanski, the film is a subtle yet deeply unsettling exploration of paranoia and trust. Mia Farrow delivers a haunting performance as Rosemary, capturing the character’s descent into fear and isolation. Polanski’s use of confined spaces and eerie silence amplifies the tension, making every scene feel claustrophobic and unnerving. "Rosemary's Baby" is not only a cornerstone of psychological horror but also a timeless commentary on manipulation and autonomy, solidifying its place as a cinematic masterpiece.
