Kinda what i thought too, but it would have probably help if i HADN'T already seen the exorcist which was ALOT scarier and about alot of the same themes.

I think alot of folks really don't get what the film was about....

It;s simply about the decent into insanity and paranoia. The Satanic symbolism was used as a crutch to justify what was happening in her life. Her baby being the antichrist was a commentary on abortion in the 60's and how prevalent it was to look at a baby as a monster and then destroy it by means of abortion. Again, this is where the Satanic symbolism came into play. All the shady characters were just fillers for Rosemary's imagination. Was she dreaming all the satanic crap? was it a sign that her baby was indeed evil? Who knows? I just made this up as I went along.

Sorry guys...I beg forgiveness.....

It played the paranoia element very well. In fact, I was going to write an essay for film genre examining paranoia and this is one of the films I was going to choose (along with Braindead, The Thing, and Maniac Cop)

I LOVE this movie. I know a lot of people didn't like it because it wasn't "scary," but whatever. This, for me, is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. This and the Omen, and that's mostly because I think that my nephew is Damien. He actually answers to Damien when I call him that, too.

This is my dad's favorite horror movie.

I got it for him on DVD at Blockbuster for only $7.99. I am so pumped right now too because they also have EVERY Friday The 13th movie there for only $7.99, including the uncut and theatrical versions of Jason Goes To Hell.
