This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The original "Rosemary's Baby" is one of my favorite horror movies and it's great that the ending left it all ambiguous and open to interpretation. That is, until this stupid TV sequel was made. There are almost no good direct to video sequels to theatrically released movies and it looks like the same can be said for TV movie sequels to theatrically released movies. This movie is unbearably stupid and bland. It features Rosemary taking care of her child at 7 years old, but then she's lured onto a haunted bus. It's so strange because I doubt if I've ever seen a bus with no driver in a movie before, but this scene STILL came off as completely clichéd. We get lame stuff like slow motion and satanic curses.The two main Satanists are this guy and his wife. His wife is amazingly annoying and it doesn't even seem like she's trying to be serious. So anyway, after Rosemary disappears, a cultist raises her son. They discuss having the Satanists raise him, but decide not to, because they don't want him to live a sheltered life. He ends up living a sheltered life anyway. They perform a ritual to um, turn him into a monster or something, I don't know and they give him makeup like in KISS. Someone gets electrocuted and then the guy wakes up in a hospital. Apart from the stupid story, it's completely boring and wouldn't please any horror movie fan or any movie fan for that mirror.It seems like everything is just shot poorly. It hasn't aged well at all. I might have seen a low quality version, but it doesn't really matter. The movie ends with a woman having Rosemary's son's baby. That means we're back exactly where we were at the end of the original film. That means this entire film was completely pointless as the world doesn't end, nor is the world saved. In the original film, you never even got to see the baby at the end. This just shows how important it is to make the audience come up with their own story. We don't want to see what happens next and there's almost no way a sequel to this movie could ever be good. This actual sequel doesn't ruin the original classic, but it's still a piece of crap. *
Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976) BOMB (out of 4) It's funny to think that one of the most popular films ever made has a sequel yet very few know about it and even lesser actually remember it. I'm really not sure what type of drugs were being passed around at Paramount when this film got the green light but let's hope those taking eventually recovered. The now adult Adrian (Stephen McHattie) is having growing pains as he keeps getting the urges to do evil things. Little does he know the truth behind his birth but soon his real dad, Satan of course, is getting ready to give him full control of his powers. This made-for-TV flick is bad, really bad but I guess that happens when you have Patty Duke taking over for Mia Farrow. This film has very little real connections to Polanski's classic so it's really unfair to compare the two as both films were obviously created for different reasons. Even when you don't compare this thing to the Polanski movie you're still left with something truly horrid and I still can't believe they even attempted something like this, although I'm going to guess THE OMEN being a big hit helped push this movie along. We have Ruth Gordon back in her role from the previous movie but Ray Milland takes over as her husband and we even have Broderick Crawford in a small role. It's a shame so many talented people put their name on this thing but I guess we can't blame them too much for trying to make a living. Director O'Steen, who edited the original movie, really doesn't have too much to work with as the screenplay offers up on bad scene after another and the level of dumbness just grows worse and worse as the movie goes along. The entire idea of this guy being split to do good or evil is nothing original and the way it plays out here is just extremely lame and boring. Within fifteen-minutes I started to grow tired and the bad pacing didn't help but next eighty-minutes. The screenplay follows one cliché after another and one really has to ask what any of it was suppose to mean. The film changes small items that were put in place by the first film but the entire third act is just mind-blowingly stupid. The performances really aren't anything better as both Gordon and Milland seem bored out of their minds and McHattie just has nothing in the lead. Even worse is Duke who really stinks up the scenes she's in as she overacts something terrible. This film has slipped into obscurity and I'm sure it will never be rescued from it, which is understandable. I would like to hear or read something as to what the producer's were thinking when they made this thing but I'm sure everyone connected to this thing would rather just pretend it never happened.
One of the most unique prospects for making a sequel to a beloved horror flick: a *made-for-TV* horror flick??? "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby" was delivered in the middle of the doomy 70s, when TV movies were actually considered scary. Just ask anybody who watched Karen Black fall to the ferocious attack of an ugly wooden doll. Just like its predecessor, "LWHTRB" attempts to leave most of the supernatural happenings hinted at rather than brought out into the light. By now you've heard all about this movie's bad rep, and indeed, look at that low rating here on IMDb. It's hard to deny that the film suffers from a number of chronic illnesses, like a small-screen budget, a number of lazy performances, and a lack of special effects.But expectations for the sequel to "Rosemary's Baby" could be the real reason this movie does not succeed. Instead of a clockwork Ira Levin plot, which was so effectively dramatized by Roman Polanski and his brilliant cast, Sam O'Steen's sequel is a full blooded 70s freak-out, complete with hallucinogenic images, an untraditional narrative, and a downbeat tone that never lets up. At times it's ludicrous and amateurish, and other times it can be engaging in spite of itself.Divided into three chapters, the first segment deals with Rosemary and her attempts to instill a sense of good in her son, Adrian. She insists his name is Andrew, something she tells him in private, and she tells him he is good and that he should not believe the evil things the coven tells him. Although she lives with the coven and bides her time, she makes a break when they decide it's time to indoctrinate the boy by performing a ritual with him. Rosemary escapes with him and gets him away from the coven, only to wind up stranded in a desert town. A hooker named Marjean takes her in, but Marjean winds up controlled by the coven, who see fit to dispatch with Rosemary by luring her onto a driverless bus. As she's carried away, pounding in panic at the windows, the film's most compelling moment takes place, a child separated from his mother and left in the care of a stranger.From there, the final two segments deal with Adrian as an adult, and the coven is out to activate his evil side in any way they can. Adrian feels the good qualities that Rosemary instilled in him, however, pulling him in the other direction. An attempt to endow him with the spirit of Satan fails when Adrian's friend foils the ceremony, and Adrian sees his dead body in a Christlike hallucination. Following the incident, Adrian is confined to an institution, awakening from an undetermined period of catatonia to find that he's been blamed for his friends death and locked up. A seemingly sympathetic nurse helps him to escape, but of course she has motivations of her own.This is not a great film, but it's definitely an unusual one. I can't think of many other hit films that were sequelized on television, although I'm sure it's been done before. But the real reason I love "Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby" are the doomy elements and the intriguing story, which really comes from left field. It avoids being obvious by being absolutely nuts.
I am only eleven years old, and even I think this is one of the most laughable movies ever! Patty Duke would have made a good Rosemary, if only there was another director! I know that she is a very good actress, for I saw her as a child in The Miracle Worker. I am a huge fan of the original and bidded for this movie and almost went as far as to pay 50 dollars for it. I finally found it for sixteen dollars on ebay.com. I got it and wondered why I even bothered, wasting all that energy over a very mediocre film! I heard there is a movie called Rosemary is Pregnant Again, and have wondered if it is connected in any way. I can't find it anywhere. All I know is thatthis movie will probably stay on my shelf forever until another unsuspecting victim comes in and wants to see it. Then, I can finally get rid of it! This film gets a 2/2 out of 5, for sheer dumb luck. I'd rather go watch the movie PI.
