Rosemary's Baby

Polanski's first Hollywood feature immediately became one of his greatest successes with the audience. At first glance, though, ROSEMARY'S BABY could not be further removed from the zeitgeist of the time: at the height of the flower-power movement, Polanski had made a film about Satanism. A newly wed couple moves into a gorgeous, neo-gothic apartment building across from New York's Central Park. Nothing really stands in the way of a happy family life, but when Rosemary becomes pregnant, a terrifying suspicion comes along: is a sect of Devil worshippers abusing her as a surrogate mother for the child of Satan? Her husband also appears to be in on the conspiracy against her.
