Flicks: Rosemary's Baby
Now if more horror movies were like this, I'd probably be more interested in them. Technically, it isn’t even horror, I suppose. There’s barely any blood at all in the whole movie and the only use of ‘special effects’ – such as they were back then – were fairly brief if not subtle.
Mia Farrow’s Rosemary reminds me of Charlize Theron in The Devil’s Advocate. She’s gradually driven mad by everything around her. Rosemary wasn’t transplanted anywhere but into a new building, yet everything familiar is gone. She doesn’t see her friends anymore and people she shouldn’t trust are all around her.
Actually, that’s what’s most fascinating to me. Like the Zombie movies, the core of this story is that everyone is out to get you.
