A young couple move into a new apartment, only to find themselves surrounded by peculiar elderly neighbours and strange occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, paranoia over the safety of her unborn child begins controlling her life.
Starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and Ruth Gordon, Rosemary's Baby is widely regarded as a triumph of horror cinema and much more than a product of its era. With its razor-sharp script, haunting performances, and chilling atmosphere, it remains a masterpiece.
While the film’s occult overtones broke fresh ground for horror, its true terror lies in something far more familiar—the slow, inescapable realization that those we trust most might betray us.
Anyone who values masterful cinema should watch this adaptation of Levin’s chilling novel, praised for its direction, performances, and psychological depth.
Fright Night is co-curated and co-hosted by Emily Booth and Kim Foster-Taylor, and includes a short introduction before each screening with triva and insights into the history of the horror film.
