Svengoolie hosts Rosemary's Baby on MeTV tonight

moviesMay 17, 202640582

Svengoolie presented Roman Polanski's 1968 horror film Rosemary's Baby, starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes, and Ruth Gordon, on MeTV tonight. The film follows Rosemary Woodhouse as she becomes pregnant in Manhattan's Dakota building and grows convinced her neighbors belong to a Satanic cult. Krzysztof Komeda's dissonant, jazz-inflected score and Polanski's claustrophobic direction helped make the film a landmark of psychological horror. Its themes of bodily autonomy, patriarchal control, and medical mistrust keep Rosemary's Baby culturally resonant and worth revisiting.

"Rosemary's Baby" is one of the most closely-adapted movies ever made, almost scene-for-scene and line-for line from Ira Levin's novel. This was Polanski's first American film,and Stephen King theorized that Polanski didn't realize he was ALLOWED to change anything. #Svengoolie

Mr King needs to get a clue, there was no reason to change anything!

same with the exorcist. one if the best film adaptations ever made.

or maybe his ego wasn't so large that he thought he needed to supplement his 'vision' for the author's?

Great movie. Ira Levin has fared pretty well when it comes to adaptations. The Stepford Wives, Deathtrap, and especially Rosemary's Baby. Even the 1991 version of a Kiss Before Dying was good (albeit with some major changes)

Polanski, another child sex predator who got away with it.

Between Rosemary's Baby and Harold and Maude, Ruth Gordon was so cool. #svengoolie

Once upon a time, Paramount gave us great movies like #RosemarysBaby and The Godfather. Now, it's new owners bow to the forces of evil, cancel Stephen Colbert, destroy a great news organization, and just want to air Taylor Sheridan shows #Svengoolie #HouseofSvengoolie

This movie is completely b-a-n-a=n-a-s! (I loved the little touch when Ruth Gordon brushes off the mark on the floor where Rosemary stabbed it with a knife) #svengoolie #rosemarysbaby

Poor Rosemary. She sure befriended the wrong people. Next time befriend cats not people. Cats are better #Svengoolie #houseofsvengoolie #rosemarysbaby

it's great how realistic the patriarchal oppression feels in this moment--we might as well be in The Stepford Wives #Svengoolie #RosemarysBaby

If Rosemary wasn't a meek, patriarchy-groomed innocent she wouldn't step foot back into that apartment with that abusive husband. #HouseOfSvengoolie #Svengoolie

When it initially came out, parents refused to let kids see “Rosemary’s Baby.” Tonight it’s airing on #HouseOfSvengoolie How times do change. #Svengoolie
