Rosemary's Baby (1968): First Time Watch & Review

Confession: We’ve been faking it… and ROSEMARY'S BABY might be one of the most influential horror films we've completely overlooked.

In this episode of Confessions of a Film Poser, we finally watch Roman Polanski's ROSEMARY'S BABY (1968) for the very first time, and we were not prepared for how unsettling, clever, and surprisingly modern this movie still feels nearly 60 years later.

Starring Mia Farrow in a career-defining performance, ROSEMARY'S BABY follows a young woman who moves into a new apartment with her husband, only to become increasingly convinced that something is terribly wrong with the people around her. What begins as a slow-burning psychological thriller gradually transforms into one of the most disturbing and influential horror films ever made.

Based on the bestselling novel by Ira Levin, the film helped redefine horror by replacing monsters and jump scares with paranoia, dread, and the terrifying fear that nobody will believe you. Along the way, we discuss Mia Farrow's unforgettable performance, the film's eerie atmosphere, its shocking themes, and why so many filmmakers still cite it as a major influence today.

From the unsettling dream sequences to the unforgettable final act, we break down our raw first-time reaction, the moments that genuinely creeped us out, and whether this classic lived up to its legendary reputation.

Is ROSEMARY'S BABY one of the greatest psychological horror films ever made...

or did we just discover why this movie has been haunting audiences for nearly six decades?
