The film tells the story of a couple who has just moved into a new home and meets an overly enthusiastic old neighbor who takes care of Rosemary after she is pregnant, but Rosemary becomes increasingly unwell and loses weight. When she felt wrong and suspicious about everything, a book about witches left by her friend Hess made her suddenly understand that those people were cultists. When she tried to escape, she was caught and gave birth to Satan's son. .

Rosemary, the symbol of the light of decent religion. Different from the general horror movie atmosphere, Rosemary, who just moved into a new home, painted almost all the walls of the house white, and chose warm and soft tones for the furniture and utensils. It can be seen that Rosemary is a gentle and kind girl, and she believes in Catholicism. There is hope and light in everything, so there is a strong sensitivity to evil forces and darkness.

Avoid the adopted daughter of a neighbor who committed suicide by falling into a cult. During her lifetime, she met Rosemary's adopted daughter in the laundry room. She confessed that she had committed crimes before and was adopted by an old couple and taught her to rehabilitate. At that time, the girl who seemed cheerful and frank jumped off the building and committed suicide the next day, which shocked Rosemary. The old neighbor couple who saw their adopted daughter commit suicide did not seem to be surprised by this scene, especially the man Roman. I think this girl should be struggling with her own spirit and beliefs, and finally chose to die to prevent the so-called "rehabilitation".

Husband Guy, who is blinded by the desire for fame and fortune and assimilated by a cult. As a little-known actor Guy, every performance opportunity is related to his success and fame. When his dream role is obtained by another person, it seems that his road to fame has become even more elusive. I had a good conversation with the neighbor couple once, and then the opponent suddenly went blind, and the character was in his hands. Finally, after Rosemary walked out of the secret room door and found everything, Guy told her that he would become famous and live better in the future. House, enjoy a better life, it can be seen that Guy can compromise with all the forces that help him in order to achieve his purpose.

Suddenly dead friend Hess. After some strange things happened, Rosemary found her friend Hess and told him that after she was pregnant, the neighbors introduced her to the so-called famous doctor and gave her strange drinks every day and so on. Roman came to visit in the middle of the conversation, and then found that his gloves were missing after Hess left. Hess, who suddenly called and asked to meet, didn't show up the next day. Rosemary called and learned that Hess had suddenly passed out. He died suddenly a few months later and left her with a book called "The Witcher". It was this book that made Rosemary really understand that her suspicions had been explained, but it also made her start to fear that Hess's death and Guy's rival's sudden blindness were because their personal belongings were taken. The spell, and she suspects that she and the child in her womb are also their targets of persecution.

Dr. Hill who bowed his head to authority and fame. Desperate to escape to save her children, Rosemary tries to find her former doctor, Hill, after learning that her neighbors and her husband are cultists. She told Dr. Hill what happened to her, but Dr. Hill didn't seem to find it strange. Perhaps many strange people and things were created in that era. But things didn't go as she wished. During her rest period, Dr. Hill found Guy and Roman. Why Dr. Hill betrayed her, I think it may be because when Rosemary said the name of the doctor who treated her, compared to Rosemary's rhetoric, the famous doctor's reputation may make Hill more believe in reputation and prestige.

Rosemary, a Catholic, fought against a group of Satanists, but because of her weak power, she finally gave birth to a baby without pupils for Satan. Personal power is weak, and Rosemary also doubted herself in the process. She believed in the words of the people around her and compromised for a while. In the end, the book left by her friend Hess convinced her that there was a reason for her suspicions. She tried her best to have a child because she always thought that the cultists were going to persecute her and her child. If she had known earlier that the child in her womb had become a child of Satan, maybe she would have another a choice. In the end, Rosemary looked at the baby in the cradle, smiling slightly, her eyes shining with the light of mother's love, which is also the very meaningful and reverie ending of the film.

  • Terry Gionoffrio: The Castevets are the most wonderful people in the world. Bar none. You know, they picked me up off the sidewalk - literally.

    Rosemary Woodhouse: You were sick?

    Terry Gionoffrio: I was starving and on dope and doing a lot of other things. They're childless, though. I'm like the daughter they never had. At first, I thought they wanted me for some kind of sex thing; but, they turned out to be like real grandparents.
