The brilliance of the film comes more from Polanski's direction, and from a series of genuinely inspired performances, than from the original story.
It's that smile playing on Rosemary's lips, suggesting that her maternal instinct and the conspirators' hold on this vapid baby doll have prevailed, that provides the biggest chill.
Polanski’s direction is smooth and the film itself happily understated. The tension created is practically unbearable.
