I don't find this film to be scary as many people do - I mostly find it to be a little unsettling, but that's all. Regardless, this is a fantastic movie. The suspense builds throughout the movie at a perfect pace. It's nothing any kid can't handle, but I may not be the best judge of that.
To explain my one Concern with the movie - obviously, the role models in this movie definitely aren't good ones. But if they were, the movie wouldn't have the disturbing feel it does now, would it?
Honestly, if I worked for the MPAA, this would get an NC-17. This is a very realistic horror movie with alot of disturbing content such as: Explicit sex scenes, full nudity. Suicide/extreme peril and terror .Much blood is shown in a realistic, grotesque death grotesque death. Devil worship and witchcraft throughout the end. Lots of casual smoking and drinking.
The classic thriller has captivated my mind yet again. Best motion picture i have ever seen.
Well, first let me explain myself for the concerns. She is raped, and there are gross naked old people. she wakes up with scratches, and her friend has jumped out of a window. There are bad messages because it shows a frightening truth. Nobody can be trusted. These reasons make it sound like and awful, bloody inappropriate movie. Most of these are very minor. Excellent movie.
I saw this at age 12. DO NOT watch this as your first scary movie, especially if you are very religious. Ive watched like 17 scary movies since, and now I might not thinkit's that bad.
Easily one of the best films I have ever seen, and arguably the best horror film. It's just perfect, and is still scary and disturbing 40 years after its release.
Parents be warned: if this movie was released nowadays, it still would receive an R-rating. There is one disturbing rape sequence, and while the actual rape isn't really shown, you see nudity.
This is true cinematic brilliance, but not for kids or tweens. It may even be much too intense for some teenagers, but that's more of a case by case basis. It has VERY frightening and disturbing scenes/shots/themes/images. In fact, the movie as a whole is pretty disturbing. I'd show it to a mature high schooler, perhaps, who isn't easily shaken and has a tough stomach.
Rosemary's Baby does not have buckets of gore and blood or jump scares. What it does have is a lasting effect. It's a creeping feeling of "something is wrong." Great movie.
A classic horror film that stays with you long after you've seen it.
This is a classic horror film but honestly the films pace goes slowly to build tension and younger kids might get bored and may not truly understand what's going on. This is far less violent than today's horror films. The movie has a strange atmosphere and the ending is unsettling. I wouldn't spoil anything but this is classic that requires patience. If you want a Intelligent, scary classic then this is a great pick.
