I. Loved. Rosemary's Baby. 10/10 one of the best horror films I have ever seen.

It may be becuase all of the horror is centered around birth, pregnancy, and gaslight, but this is the first horror film where I was genuinely uncomfortable and squirming in my seat from the opening musical bars to the end of the film.

I watched this movie in 3 settings and it didn't change the tension at all. Full on sick feeling of dread for the entire runtime.

What's more, is I love that the pregnancy horror is about how much Rosemary wants her baby. So many times in horror films, pregnancy is about the unwanted or being forced into it--and while those are valid horror topics, it's so unique to have Rosemary be scared for her kid.

It adds a level of Mama Bear to her character which is just icing on the cake.

While I loved it, I definitely need to  be in the right mindset if I want to watch it again. Ha ha ha.
