The night Rosemary and Guy heard the chanting they were performing the ritual on Terry. She committed suicide because she was aware she was being made to carry the devils baby. The night they were arguing through the walls was because Minnie was mad that they told her because "she wouldn't be open minded" which is why they opted to keep Rosemary in the dark.

The building in this movie (Dakota Apartments) is the same one where John Lennon was shot

[@tonyborelli.]

he& yoko lived there

[@johnnehrich9601]

In terms of architecture, the Dakota was a monumental milestone. Prior to that, the standard living arrangement was the small multistory rowhouse, often called a brownstone (even though mostly brick or frame construction), single-family owner-occupied buildings. These were designed around the problem of having to get to an outhouse in far back garden, near the carriage house/stable. (It took the development of municipal water supplies to allow indoor toilets with a water trap to keep the "swamp" gases from coming back inside the house.) These were built on standard lots of about 18-25 foot wide but 100 feet or so deep. This minimized expensive street frontage and allowed the outhouse/carriage house to be far enough back. But prior to the development of the Otis safety elevator, having to rely on stairs meant taller buildings had low-rent garrets for "starving artists." And there was the stigma of the "cold-water flat," that only the poor lived on one floor. The Dakota, built c. 1880, was among the first (at least in America) of the rise of the modern luxury apartment buildings with indoor plumbing, elevators, and living on just one floor. This would soon become the way most Americans lived up until after WWII, when the flight to the suburban developments created in its wake the neglected "inner city." The Dakota was built alongside the new Central Park in Manhattan, between 72nd and 73rd Streets. At the time, the city had not expanded up that far but they took the chance it would eventually do so (and it did). But at the start, the building sat in the middle of open land. People kidded it has stuck out in the Dakotas.

[@Cadinho93]

"What have you done to him, you maniacs?!" Rosemary's Baby is one of the great thrillers of all time. Given the underlying subject matter, can you imagine how this film must have come across to viewers in 1968? The strength of the film is the script, which through its plot, dialogue implies and suggests. Not until near the end do we, like Rosemary, find out the presumed truth. Suspense increases toward the end as Rosemary ventures into the inner sanctum of the Bramford. Roman Polanski concocted a devilish, stylish witches' brew of paranoia and real terror with this film. It's literally soaked with detail and imagination, yet the terrors are mostly psychological, pulled off in the most amazing way, filling you, along with Rosemary with absolute dread.

Sinatra & actor Peter Lawford, (brother in law to the Kennedys) pimped women to the Kennedys at Lawford's beach house 'parties'. Sinatra's Mafia friends were regular guests too, which is why the Kennedys dropped Sinatra eventually. Bobby had publicly declared war on the Mafia, so it wasnt a good look. LAPD were called by neighbours re noise etc on numerous occasions but turned a blind eye. Lawford, a friend of Marilyn Monroe often invited her to the parties, but she usually didnt attend as she was offended by being regarded as just a piece of tail. She saw Jack Kennedy on & off for a year or so. When Jack dumped her he sent Bobby to give her the message & Bobby ended up having an affair with her too. When he dumped her too, she threatened to go public over "being passed around like a piece of meat". Very shortly after that, she died.

Charles Grodin, as Dr. Hill, caught nothing but grief for his part in putting Rosemary back in the hands of “those people” for the rest of his life.

[@lisaspikes4291]

I don’t know. I go back and forth on this. He may have been involved, but I think he was just trying to do the right thing. Rosemary shows up out of the blue, and tells him all this crazy stuff. He probably diagnosed that she was suffering from some sort of pre partum psychosis. He probably thought that the best thing to do was call her obstetrician and let him know. That would be the ethical thing to do in the real world. In this case, it just so happened that Rosemary was telling the truth, and she wasn’t crazy. 😲

When Rosemary was referring about her baby's eyes - WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIS EYES - Roman told her that the baby has the eyes of its father. You can see in the end devilish yellow eyes for a very short time right in the picture. I love this movie and I think I have seen it at least 25/30 times since I was 14 in 1973. Everything in this movie is just great. From the music, the makeup, the setting, the costumes, the locations, the actors and the editing is perfect. I would love to see in a movie theater. Guy (Rosemary's husband) - John Cassavetes - was a well known independent filmmaker, writer and director. He often financed his own movies by taking jobs as an actor.

[@chotzrary]

Y'all notice when the lullaby starts at the end. The camera pans down to the front of the Dakota building. You see Guy and Rosemary entering the building front doors. Was Rosemary dreaming the whole thing? Was this a warning for her to avoid going to look at the apartment? Rosemary's Baby is in the top ten greatest horror masterpieces ever produced by Hollywood. The idea as a lone woman, being completely isolated from the outside world, after being sold for fame to the devil. Absolutely terrifying and diabolical.

Rosemary’s Baby & The Omen are psychologically thrillers & much more terrifying. If your child is possessed by Evil then you fight to save your child, just like they did in The Exorcist. But what do you do if your child IS the Ultimate Evil? What do you do if your child, who you love & adore, is destined to destroy mankind? Do you kiII your child in hopes of saving the world then spend the rest of your life in prison wondering if you were wrong about your child being Evil? Or do you hope that with your love & guidance that your child will grow up to be a good person. And what if that doesn’t work? What if your child, despite all your love & guidance, can’t escape his/her destiny & overcome the innate Evil, & grows up to destroy the world? How would you be able to live with yourself knowing you bought the Ultimate Evil into the world & didn’t destroy it when you had the chance? What would you do in that situation? Risk kiIIing your innocence child to spare humanity or allow your Evil child to grow up & destroy the world. How could you chose & live with the consequences? That’s much more frightening to me than the blood, vomit & gore of The Exorcist.

Yah have to watch part 2. The name of it is" look what's happened to rosemary's baby" made in 1976.

[@samhain1894]

No don’t. It’s terrible 😖

[@mrantdagreat]

This is an absolute classic!

[@teesmith945]

Mia Farrow's acting and facial expressions absolutely made this movie a classic

[@jappie72]

Roman Polanski said in an interview that NOT showing the 'evil' and the baby meant that you could interpret the movie in different ways. It could be that it was all in her head and she became paranoid after a pregnancy illness. And if so all the thinks you see is seen through the eyes of her unstable mind. Great movie, I love it.

[@BrianBogiaBricky]

The prince of darkness is Rosemary's Baby. Love this movie!!! I forgot about this movie. I haven't seen over 50 years now. The father of Rosemary's Baby is Satan.

[@76063co2]

This is a SLOW burn of a movie. No jump scares, but just a feeling of dread that sticks with you. In keeping with this theme, you guys should react to the original "THE OMEN" from 1976. The two sequels (NOT the remake) are good too.

[@Matt-ns8nb]

Glad you guys are yeetin the classics!

[@asarishepard8171]

This movie is about one of a handful that ever unsettled me. It's so disturbing and just sits with you! I also love Mia farrow, who i was introduced to in The Last Unicorn, a 1982 rankin bass 😂

[@nigelw7626]

Pray do tell the others that have unsettled you. Mine are this, The Exorcist, The Exorcist 3, The Wickerman (original) The Entity which spring to mind.

[@asarishepard8171]

@@nigelw7626 this one, poltergeist 1982, a Japanese horror called Reincarnation. Oh and first exorcist, that one bothers anyone who grew up in a religious household, which i was :)

[@yepimheretoo2270]

​@@nigelw7626the Entity always gets overlooked. Good movie

[@xartet]

Remember in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood..." how Rick Dalton lived next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate? This is one of Roman Polanski's best known movies.

[@lisaspikes4291]

And I LOVE that Roman (in the movie OUATIH,) calls his dog Sapirstein! Too good!

[@michelm306]

"China Town" is masterful as well

[@Fairygrl_TW]

I first saw this in 1978 a decade after it came out. I was turning 14 and it scared the crap out of me. I love these older horror films, scare me more than the newer ones. Ones like "Psycho" and "The Birds". My fav is the original "Night of the Living Dead" black and white film with underlying message about society. Thanx so much, take care, Peace

[@Flugendorf]

This is one of two great movies of the '70s I think of as specifically *paranoia* movies. :) We keep watching Rosemary's face, close up, while she increasingly realizes that everything around her is just slightly *wrong*...

[@michaelwalsh2498]

This was a spot on reaction! I've been watching RB since it first came on TV in the early 70s. It is one of the scariest movies because of how plausible it is: your neighbors are in league with the devil, your spouse made a deal with the devil, a poor, innocent, troubled girl in your building is being exploited by a coven. This is scary stuff, more so than any gigantic CGI slasher film. Good call on tracing things back to that original dinner when Roman and Guy were having their tete à tete conversation- very dark and evil scene!

[@carment4224]

Now we're talkin'! Great classic horror without any unnecessary jump scares and gore. Nice Reaction!!

[@shakycam3]

This is one of those movies that begs for a second watch to see everything you missed in the background. One of the creepiest parts is that the BABY is manipulating Rosemary. She has made up her mind that the pain is too much, she’s dumping Dr Sapirsrein, then the pain stops instantly. When she jukes them and gets on the elevator the baby stops her with labor pains so they can catch her.

[@carmenreed2260]

The way Minnie eats during the dinner party is grotesquely ravenous....is that an indicator?

[@goldenage]

Omen is another good one.

[@RullXov]

Ruth Gordon won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her portrayal of Minnie Castevet in this movie.

[@EdRushing-te3sc]

The man outside the booth...William Castle a great B movie director....the original House on Haunted Hill and The Tingler, etc.

[@letmadora28]

"She gave birth to a Litle Nicky" 🤣🤣 26:06 After a couple of rewatches, I saw the husband recoiling in fear when Rosemary said the baby was moving. This movie has a lot of rewatchable points. Roman Polanski has a couple of more movies that are really good: Chinatown, a detective movie. The Pianist, a ww2 movie. The Ninth Gate, for another "satanic" movie 😂, And The Fearless Vampire Killers, a really funny one, with Polanski himself as the bumbling, naive sidekick.

[@lauriebarrett6789]

1963 movie suggestion - "The Birds". It's an Alfred Hitchcock suspense classic.

[@davidwilkins5932]

Others may have mentioned it, but the building is The Dakota, where John Lennon lived, and was killed near the entrance.

[@joanward1578]

At that time, Mia Farrow was Frank Sinatra's partner. He did not want Mia in this movie. Also, Ruth Gordon, the neighbor in movie, won best supporting actress.'

[@TheCrazyCanuck420]

The documentary "The Kid Stays in the Picture" discussed this (Mia was the "kid"). I might be misremembering, but I think Robert Evans said in the documentary that Mia and Frank split because of this movie.

[@walterpanovs]

The exterior of the building was The Dakota in New York City where John Lennon lived and the entrance way from the street was where he was shot and killed. It's always sad to see those scenes, Although the interior of the apartments were quite large like in the film those scenes were actually shot on a soundstage in Hollywood and not on location.

[@lisaspikes4291]

I always thought that they did a great job building the set of the apartment. It really does look like a Dakota apartment!

[@Lavonda-g5y]

Asia? Don’t get spooked too much lol 😂 ….big fan of you and your family

[@ReelinwithAsiaandBJ]

😊 thank you

[@grandgnd]

The doctor is one of the "'Dukes" in Trading Places

[@jannathompson2262]

Yes❤❤❤

[@etc7070]

The building they lived in (the exterior shots, at least) is called The Dakota, in NYC right near Central Park. John Lennon lived there in the '70s, and it's where he was murdered, on the sidewalk outside its entrance, in 1980. I've gone past that building but can never look directly at its entrance.

[@lorrainemiller688]

I actually went as Rosemary and her baby for Halloween waaaaay back then! 🤣

[@MiaLeyden]

The book has a brief description of the baby when Rosemary sees him if you are curious about it. Great reaction!

[@jasondelgado-yg5mj]

Hahaha I don’t know nothin bout nothin, we juss regular people! Bless you Miss Asia!

[@Mr17051963]

Ruth Gordon got an Oscar for her nosey (and funny) neighboor Miss Castevet! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SolarShine]

I wished ANY KZbinrs would react to Roman Polanski’s Fearless Vampire Killers. I believe there isn’t a single one.

[@rev.jasoncook5799]

You two should watch The Stepford Wives (the 1970s version NOT the more recent one). It's by the same author.

[@mamakat114]

When that guy walked through their apartment behind her, I’ve never heard Asia’s voice squeak so high

[@longago-igo]

John Cassavetes was a very famous ‘independent’ filmmaker (Oscar nominated Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence [1975] and Best Screenplay for Faces [1969]). His wife, Gena Rowlands, was an Oscar nominated Best Actress for 2 of his films, A Woman Under the Influence and Gloria (1981). His other most famous acting role was as Franco in The Dirty Dozen (1967) with Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas and the NFL’s Jim Brown.

[@bradsullivan2495]

The early part of the film was set in 1965 because Guy mentions seeing the Pope on television at Yankee Stadium--which took place in October of that year.

[@CaramelPrincess1990]

Thank you for the upload Asia and BJ ❤🙌🏽 can’t wait to watch this with you during dinner 🍽

[@sonofmoss]

Notice that before “baby night” Guy wore nothing in bed, but from the morning after baby night on he always wears pajamas.
