Rosemary Woodhouse and her struggling actor husband Guy move into the
Bramford, an old New York City apartment building with an ominous reputation and
mostly elderly residents. Neighbors Roman and Minnie Castevet soon come nosing
around to welcome the Woodhouses to the building, and despite Rosemary’s
reservations about their eccentricity and the weird noises that she keeps
hearing her husband takes a special shine to them.
Shortly after Guy lands a plum Broadway role, Rosemary becomes pregnant,
and the Castavets start taking a special interest in her welfare. As the
sickened Rosemary becomes increasingly isolated, she begins to suspect that the
Castevets’ circle is not what it seems…
In 1967, when Rosemary's Baby was first published, Ira Levin's masterpiece gave horror an innocent new face. It startled critics, stunned readers with its unique and deceptively calm voice, and caused a worldwide sensation. It found fear where we never thought to look before, and dared to bring it into the sunlight. To this day, Rosemary's Baby is as disquieting as shattering glass in an empty basement, and as unsettling as the cry of a newborn coming from behind a newly plastered wall.
