Our take on Rosemary's Baby

Polanski's 1968 horror classic moves a young couple into a grand New York apartment, where Rosemary's pregnancy curdles into paranoia about her too-friendly neighbours. Slow, insidious and rooted in everyday dread, it weaponises domestic life into one of cinema's great psychological horrors. If its creeping unease gripped you, seek out atmospheric horror and paranoid thrillers where the real terror is not being believed.
