Rosemary's Baby (2014)

Wonderful character development!

Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Excellent, a Must See

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I thought this was going to be on the similar lines as the original. I thought, 'Hey great' we have a true production of multiculturalism. Except is isn't is it? We have a mixed race Rosemary GREAT, we have a couple of 'Cameos' of a Chinese Asian man, but the majority of the horrible demon worshiping fanatics are 'White European!'I'm sorry, but if Europe is so 'Diverse', then where are the Indian Asians? Where are the Arabs? Where are the Pakistani Asians? Ooh, I know, this is just another attempt from self loathing far leftist idiots, literally DEMONIZING white people! Get over yourselves! Europe is sick of having this claptrap shoved down their throats! We are white, we are NOT ashamed & we are NOT self loathing virtue signalling brainwashed idiots!

This was terrible and i could only find 2 episodes of it so that means that it sucked more than what i am describing because the internet doesn't even want you to watch it. The original was way better. it was way more suspenseful save yourself the trouble and don't even search for it. There was no need for the rip em up shots they did the deaths could have been better,.ALSO THIS DESCRIPTION "Modern 4 hour mini- series adaptation of the classic novel by Ira Levin focusing on young Rosemary Woodhouse's suspicions that her neighbors may belong to a Satanic cult who are hell bent on getting one thing: the baby she is carrying." makes it sound really good BUT should say this show sucks deal with it.

I wanted to give this a chance since I loved the original Roman Polanski movie so much. And I was open minded to a change in setting from New York to Paris - after all it's no point making a shot for shot remake of a perfect movie. But comparing this with the original this version is a travesty. There are so many changes that aren't for the better, they are for the worse.The casting is bad. Zoe Saldana doesn't have the angelic wide eyed innocence of Mia Farrow. Jason Isaacs as Roman Castavets looks too obviously sinister from the get go, he is just too obvious. Patrick J Adams tries but isn't shifty enough. Carole Bouquet is the best of the lot she is sophisticatedly sinister but without the motherly benign façade that Ruth Gordon had her character doesn't work either.The changes in the story were disastrous. Revealing Guy's collusion with the Castavets and the real nature of the Castavets so early on takes away all the tension that was in the original. The dialog isn't as good especially when they departed from the original. It lacks subtlety. Having such gory ends for the victims doesn't take it into the 21st Century - rather it spoils the realistic base which made the original so much more chilling. In the original going blind was enough. Didn't have to have a throat slashing thing. The climax at the end when she finds her baby just falls flat especially where she wanted to kill it.It's a painful watch for fans of the original. If you look on it as a "Rosemary's Baby 2 - Paris" maybe you can bear it. Just be prepared the horror is in how bad the movie is compared to the original.

When you remake a classic, the goal should be to blow your audience away not barely make a ripple. As one of many viewers of the original, I was pretty open minded, an opportunity to see one of my favorite horror novels brought to the screen again and looking forward to seeing how they could improve on perfection (okay, maybe I wasn't so open minded).Hats off to the locale. A great choice Paris, urbane and dark, however the apartment building was nowhere near as creepy as The Dakota. The acting was believable with a good looking cast and at first held a lot of promise. Instead of eccentric senior folks, they are replaced by well dressed, well connected and attractive AARP members.One of my main criticisms of this version is the excessive use of blood and guts. I recently read an interview with Zoe Saldana, who plays Rosemary Woodhouse and she said for today's audience they needed to make it bloody. Really? Gratuitous violence just like gratuitous sex feels false and detracts. How wonderful that the original didn't rely on jump scares(not found here but such a staple in modern horror) and horrific images. Nothing is more scary than the imagination.Is this the worst remake ever? No, not by any means. It was entertaining though a bit long. The main difference between this and the original is that in the original I didn't want it to end; in this version I couldn't wait for it to end.
