literarylion 's review for:

Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin
4.5
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Pros:
  • Levin's style never disappoints me
  • Engaging and well-paced

Cons:
  • Storyline is very similar to Stepford Wives but with
    Satan worshippers
    instead of robots
  • Pulanski's film is pretty much a shot-for-shot equivalent, which is not Levin's fault (actually it's pretty impressive), but there weren't many surprises
