Rosemary’s Baby was originally a novel by Ira Levin released in 1967 and was responsible for the subsequent prosperity of the horror genre over the next few years. The next year the first movie adaptation came out starring Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes and was directed by Roman Polanski. The original version of the film is widely regarded as one of the best horror films of all time, won approximately 10 awards, and was inducted into the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. With the original being so good and so widely respected, I do not understand why they chose to remake this movie. The standards are so high, it would have to be flawless in every way to not be a total flop. Unfortunately, this movie was far from flawless.
