Rosemary's Baby https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ef/Rosemarys_baby_poster.jpg Dir: Roman Polanski Genre: Horror Year: 1968 I guess now is a good time to give a little take on how I view movies made by horrible people like Roman Polanski and Woody Allen. Generally, I am able to separate the art from the artist. I don't think it makes sense to discount the work made by a collective group of people because the director happens to be a monster. However, when the film starts obviously reflecting the criminal/immoral activities of the director himself, then their personal lives start ruining the work at large for me. That's why you won't see Manhattan on here. It's one thing to like a Woody Allen movie. It's another thing to like a Woody Allen movie where he is trying to fuck a 17 year old as a middle aged man. Anyway, Rosemary's Baby is a creepy as hell movie made by a bad person. Setting Polanski's crimes aside, Rosemary's Baby is still the ultimate occult horror movie. Even if it were released today, I think it would still deliver on the horror factor because it really delves into deeper psychological issues. You truly start to feel the distrust, the anxiety, and paranoia of the lead actress in the film--and it resonates on a larger human level. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso ...
