A horror movie with a superlative level, or one of my favorites. How could it be so scary? The most special thing is that it did not have the usual jump-scare technique throughout the whole process, and it still achieved the effect. I believe it is the same when you watch thriller movies. Always beware of sudden shocks, but it is easy to be unexpectedly successful by them, and then curse in the heart. The "Conjuring" series is famous for its proper use, and it is very popular in domestic horror films. A jump scare is easy to use, but it's not advanced. If you are familiar with this routine, you will always feel bored.
Compared with the direct visual impact brought by a jump scare, "Rosemary's Baby" gives people more psychological pressure. Layer upon layer, the film takes us into the life of Rosemary, feeling her isolation and helplessness, untrustworthy even the closest of pillow people, and extremely fragile mental state, which eventually led to her hysteria.
The closer it gets to the end, the more nervously I watch it. As in the title of the film, the baby is a blockbuster, but the film is just a profile, instead of giving a direct answer to the baby's appearance, which causes the audience to be afraid of what they will face next. I couldn't help but be curious, I was ready to spend my whole life healing these few seconds, but I didn't expect that there would be none at all. The director used his bad taste like this to whet my appetite and gave me a slap.
As a thriller, I have to mention the art of photography and the use of light. The eerie house and the always dim light remind me of The Conjuring, and the deep cloister reminds me of The Shining.
The subject matter is novel and attractive. It combines various religious images of the last century, such as the strangely painted Satanist party, and the name makes people shudder and can't help but be fascinated by witchcraft. Witchcraft is important. The narrative clues that hold up the whole film are full of cult meaning.
After watching the movie, I found out that this is an old movie from 1968. As a lover of thrillers, I have seen a lot of movies with superb special effects and make-up skills. Only such an old film makes me feel so numb, and I'm still terrified now!
The director is too good at controlling the rhythm and is too good at creating a sense of atmosphere. This is a real mental flogging, and it is strongly recommended that everyone should not miss it!
By the way, a less important thing, the first thing I knew about this movie was because of Wei Qin (I don't know if anyone remembers her).
