Rosemarys Baby Digital

There’s two ways you can react to a new version of “Rosemary’s Baby.” The first one is to completely write it off and make the assumption that no one could do a better job of adapting Ira Levin’s bestseller than Roma Polanski did in 1968. The other reaction is to take it as a new vision of the book that isn’t trying to be a remake of the first movie and enjoy or hate it for what it is according to its own merits. I think the one thing we can all agree on is that if the Satanic Panic-type films of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s are going to be introduced to a whole new generation of viewers, there’s no better place to start than with “Rosemary’s Baby.” After all, it really is where the trend began for mainstream moviegoers. Young Rosemary Woodhouse (Zoe Saldana) and her husband (Patrick J. Adams) move to Paris after he is offered a job there. After a residential fire, the couple are invited to live in a luxurious apartment by landlord’s Roman (Jason Isaacs) and Margaux Castevet (Carole Bouquet). Rosemary becomes pregnant and her eccentric neighbors shower her with kindness and devotion. She begins to suspect they’re only after one thing following an investigation into the building’s mysterious ties to the occult. Rosemary believes the supportive bunch are a coven of witches looking to sacrifice her baby to stay young. There’s no doubt in my mind that everyone involved in the new version of “Rosemary’s Baby” was dedicated to the project. Zoe Saldana completely embraces her role as the damaged-yet-hopeful Rosemary, who desperately wants to do the right thing for her unborn child. Jason Isaacs and Carole Bouquet are deliciously wicked playing the reserved but extremely persuasive Castevets. “Rosemary’s Baby” is not rated. However, I would give it a PG-13 rating for adult situations, sensuality, and disturbing images. There’s a bit of gore and some sex scenes without nudity. There’s no heavy religious message to be found within “Rosemary’s Baby.” If it teaches you anything, it’s that you need to be careful what you’re willing to sacrifice for material success and temporary happiness. Although it deals with Satan and his powers, it’s not evangelical in any form and doesn’t preach at the viewer in regards to their spiritual life. The DVD version of Rosemarys Baby contains some limited bonus material. Two featurettes explore behind the scenes of the movie in Fear is Born: The Making of Rosemarys Baby and Grand Guignol: Parisian Production Design. The cast and crew are interviewed about their roles in the film and expand on filming in the most romantic city on Earth. People who have never seen Roman Polanski’s “Rosemary’s Baby” and haven’t read anything about it will no doubt enjoy this updated version more than those already exposed to the classic tale. I found it to be entertaining and thrilling at times. Was it as good as Polanski’s 1968 version? I wouldn’t say so. Did it seem to dig a little deeper and expand on the concept more than the original? Yes, considering it was a two-part movie and had around 34 minutes more to flesh things out.

Love this movie

Its a very good movie!!! Would definitely watch it again!!! I want it as my own!!! i so loved it!!!

Good movie.

Great !!

Commits the ultimate sin... it is BORING! The Roman Polanski version is a classic. I watched this hoping it would answer some lingering questions I had of the original, but found myself fast forwarding through most. Complete waste of time.

Zoe carries this remake quite well, the rest of the cast are all properly off/creepy. One off for.just average intensity/atmosphere. Enjoy!

I do not know how good is the content, for my player cannot play it. But other discs from the same shipment playing well on the same player. Do not know why!

I dont know if anyone remembers or knows of NBCs Sunday Night At The Movies series that ran from 1981 to 2000 but when the first half of this first aired on Sunday night on May 11th, I kind of felt like they were going a bit retro and I really enjoyed that. Sorry, Im a big nostalgia fan! This 2 part mini-series remakes, stars Zoe Saldana as the soon to be trouble mother, Rosemary, while Patrick J. Adams stars as her husband, Guy. In this remake, Rosemary and Guy move from New York City to Paris, France and rent out an admirable apartment, looking to start their lives over together. Soon after they find comfort in locals and neighbors Roman and Margaux Castevet who become very involved in their lives. Rosemary ends up becoming pregnant, while Guys career as a writer, elevates. Meanwhile, Guys co-worker, Julie as well as Margaux begin spending a lot of time with Rosemary and Margaux informs Rosemary that herbs and holistics will help with her pregnancy. After Margaux performs a spell on soup that she was preparing for Rosemary, Rosemarys health declines in the worst way and she ends up in the hospital. After Rosemary miraculously recovers, she becomes suspicious of her doctor and the Castevets and feels that theres more to this evil French couple than theyre letting on. After Rosemary discovers a shocking revelation about the apartment theyre living in, its past, and an evil secret about Roman Castevet, she pleads with Guy to leave France but he thinks its all in her mind. Along the way, Rosemarys closest peers who get too closely bonded with Rosemary to try and help her, are met with unfortunate and gruesome deaths. Once Rosemary puts the pieces together, she realizes what the Castevets are up to and how her soon to be born baby is linked to Satan himself. Overall: Despite what the negative critics may say, this mini-series remake was a treat to watch. Unlike the movie, this setting takes place outside of the US and in France, which adds an overall exciting and different element with the characters involved in this. Because both 2 hour episodes equal 4 hours, you may tend to lose a bit of focus at times but its not long before it grabs your attention again as the plot thickens and so do our characters. In addition, I was also expecting there to be quite a bit of controversy about Saldana playing the main character as Rosemary due to racial reasons, but fortunately, there were none....that I know of. Overall, youll have to build up the courage to keep yourself watching this for 4 hours, otherwise you may lose interest in it. I cant speak for everyone, but I truly enjoyed this remake of the original and cant wait for it to be released on DVD

Product arrived on time and as described. Very satisfied.
