NBC should have continued to air Believe and Crisis in their regular time slots on Sunday and air Rosemary's Baby on two consecutive Thursday nights.

Other than The Blacklist, NBC had a very rough year when it came to new scripted programs. I suppose they could always make a Chicago Medical, but wouldn't that just be an ER reboot?

I refuse to watch this.

I even refuse to acknowledge its existence.

I believe posting in a thread about it is acknowledgment of its existence. Just sayin'.

Obviously the screenwriter and director had NO IDEA what made the original so successful. The joy of the old film was in the fact that Rosemary's fears were completely deniable- those wacky old people were obviously harmless, she was clearly paranoid, everything was innocent- and you gradually come to the horror. This started with a gruesome suicide and boasted something 'spooky' or 'creepy' ever two minutes or so. The bloody elimination of Guy's rival was particularly pointless- especially compared to the original.

I refuse to have an opinion until Ronan Farrow weighs in.

Joe, I so agree with you! The brilliance of the original film (and novel) as a study in paranoia! Ruth Gordon as the eccentric next door neighbor that takes on a very sinister vibe, the missing paintings on the walls of the Castevets apartment that are apart of Rosemary's rape scene that are later replaced when she walks through the closet. All brilliant direction and story telling.
This piece of sh*t isn't worth it's time-slot.

All of you are going to change your tune when you discover that Rosemary's baby will be voiced by Chris Colfer.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I think Chris Colfer IS Rosemary's baby.

If so then Satan made a huge mistake. It's hard to take over the world when nobody can take your spawn seriously.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

I have a lot of mixed feelings. I feel that remakes are pointless if they are a carbon-copy of the original; and in this case, they were best not to replicate the Polanski film. While in certain respects it is scarier (and certainly bloodier), I think that the Satanism is entirely too blatant. The art of Ira Levin's suspense in films such as Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives was that it happened off-screen, and here it is completely obvious.

I also am still confused in the choice to set it in Paris. While they make it work, and certainly makes it more realistic that Rosemary and Guy are young foreigners who has no choice to buy into the Casavets' offers, I'm just not sure it all around works. I am also really not crazy about the blatant homoerotic relationship between Rosemary and Margaux. I miss Ruth Gordan.

Last night I netflixed the original film. What a masterpiece! It still holds up and the chase at the end in the elevator still has me on the edge of my seat!

"I think that the Satanism is entirely too blatant. The art of Ira Levin's suspense in films such as Rosemary's Baby and The Stepford Wives was that it happened off-screen, and here it is completely obvious."

Which is the problem with many films today. Nothing is left to the imagination.

I watched for 10 minutes or so and thought, "Nah."

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I've read interviews with the "creatives" (And with this film I use that word VERY loosely) and they all said they felt they had to move it to Paris to explain Rosemary's isolation and dependence on Guy which is really amusing as Guy is hardly present in the plot and not only does every one she encounter speak English but she's not in the least isolated or a fish out of water. It's like they didn't even watch their own film.

Rosemary's isolation in the first film wasn't due to the fact she had no friends, or was really a fish out of water. She did and even had a party for them. Her isolation was due to the subtle take over of their lives by those wacky next door neighbors. What first time mother wouldn't want the best doctor? Even her dear friend Hutch had two grandchildren delivered by this guy!
The slow realization of the conspiracy and Guy's competition shedding light on the swapping of personal items beautifully created the sense of paranoia that we shared with Rosemary.
There is absolutely NONE of this in this remake. Slit throats do not horror make.

I don't think there's any doubt that the original is a masterpiece and this remake is crappy. I sometimes watch crap on tv and it never takes away from my appreciation of the masterpieces.

Jane, this is true. This piece of crap really makes you appreciate the Masterwork of Art the film was. Hell, it make me go back and revisit it.

Exactly. As soon as I made that post, I realized that the crap only makes you like the original so much more. Now I feel like watching the original!

One step ahead of you - I Netflixed it and just got finished watching. I was mesmerized just as I am each time I see it. This makes about 4 times.
