Rosemary's Baby

I watched it last night.
Before bed.
That was a poor choice.

You may remember that way back on Tuesday, I was worrying about giving birth to a child with disabilities. I guess Rosemary puts it into perspective for me. At least I probably won't be impregnated by Satan.

The thing that really got me was the last scene. If you've seen it, you know the expression on Rosemary's face. All the witch and devil goings-on that happened prior to that were easy to process because one can remember that it's just a movie and this isn't real...but the moment I realized "that's still her CHILD, little Andy or Jenny" was hard.

Well done, Roman Polanski..

I went to bed and asked Jake if he had any demon babies in there with him, and he said, "It's hard to say..." Thanks. Reassuring.

This late-night decision was inspired to after listening to an NPR story about 1960's Horror: Shock Value Redefined. Check it out.
