The movie bombed at the box office and has generally poor reviews, but I rather like it. (I read the book long before the movie was made.)

Funny story:
When interviewed for Eli Roth's "History of Horror" series, Jack Black said he was talking to his then-pregnant wife about great horror movies, and "Rosemary's Baby" came up. She'd never seen it. Jack was astonished. Why, she had to see it RIGHT NOW.
For weeks afterward, she was convinced she was giving birth to the Antichrist.
In retrospect, said Jack, that was not one of his better decisions.

Date: 2020-10-21 12:20 am (UTC)My brother and I went to see the movie when it first came out in theaters. We were painting our parents basement - while they were in Australia and trying to rent the house. We argued about paint for about two hours - we'd run out and were arguing over whether it was off-white or creme. Took a break, saw Silence of the Lambs, had an in-depth discussion about the visual metaphors (my brother was a film major), then went to back to arguing about the paint.
