*****
Director: Roman Polanski

Rosemary and his husband move to a new apartment in New York City. As Rosemary is unwell through her pregnancy, she becomes increasingly convinced that her new neighbours are out to harm her baby. This subtle and deeply unsettling psychological horror film is based on Ira Levin's novel. Polanski's chilly visuals, Krzysztof Komeda's haunting score, and Mia Farrow's iconic haircut have made this an enduring classic. Ruth Gordon won an Academy Award for her supporting performance.
