The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Rosemary's Baby (2014)

Starring: Zoe Saldana, Patrick J. Adams, Jason Isaacs, Carole Bouquet
Director: Agnieszka Holland

Premise:
An American couple in Paris move into an old building where the tenants may be a Satanic cult who want her to be the mother of a very special baby.

My Take:
There are a number minor differences from both the original movie and the novel. The core of the story is the same though. Personally if they were going to update the story into modern times, they should have updated the main character to be more of a modern day women. Instead the character feels out of place. And while Zoe Saldana does a great job with what was given to hear the movie falls flat because of this.

Rating: Warning (watch the original)
