How it scared people
The vibe
Polanski's Manhattan satanism plays entirely in daylight, over herbal drinks and neighborly kindness, which is exactly why it's terrifying. A masterclass in gaslighting decades before the word was common — Rosemary is right about everything and it saves her nothing.

Rosemary's Baby carries no MPAA certificate. We score it 3/5 for jump scares, 1/5 for gore and 5/5 for lingering dread, over 137 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
