The franchise has been met with mix success as a whole. The original movie though met initially with a mild critical reception, [7] [8] was considered a box office success domestically. [9] Through the years that followed, it earned its status as a classic horror movie. Modern analysis has called it one of the all-time greatest in the genre, [10] [11] a "masterpiece", [12] and writer-director Roman Polanski's "magnum opus"; [13] while also praising its influence over the horror genre thereafter, with various filmmakers acknowledging it as an inspiration. [14] In cult-like manner, various legends of the production being a "cursed movie" have followed. [15] Conversely, its television movie sequel was met with near universal negative reception from critics and its viewers; with reviews calling it one of the "worst horror sequels" ever, [16] while some stated it has entertainment value. [17] The television miniseries adaptation likewise was met with negative reception, calling it inferior to the original; criticizing the plot changes, and its overall execution. [18] [19]

The franchise continued with a prequel film released in September of 2024, from Paramount Pictures via video on demand and streaming mediums. The movie was met with mixed critical reception with praise for its actors, cinematography, and direction, [20] [21] [22] [23] while others dismissed the release as a less scary unnecessary studio exploration of the original horror classic. [24] [25] [26]

Origin

The 1967 American horror novel, written by Ira Levin and printed by Random House publishing, Rosemary's Baby was a financial success earning its classification as the best-selling book in the genre during the 1960s. In subsequent years, it has been called the greatest horror novel published. [15] The literary piece serves as the basis for the film franchise that followed thereafter. [27]

The plot centers around Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman who recently moved into a new apartment building with her husband named Guy. Warned of the disturbing history surrounding the building, the couple ignore the warnings considering them urban legends. Though Rosemary wants to begin a family, Guy is determined to have a successful career before they have children. As time passes, they befriend an elderly couple who regularly come to visit. Rosemary begins to question their real intentions, and whether the forewarnings were myth or factual. After the couple's sexual intercourse with intent to have a baby, Rosemary experiences a horrific nightmare where a demon took the place of her husband. Convinced that perhaps her dream was reality, she begins to wonder whether she is going to birth the Antichrist. [28] [29]

Levin wrote and published a sequel novel titled Son of Rosemary, which was printed by Dutton Books in September 1997. [30] [31] The plot centers around Rosemary, who awakens from a coma twenty-seven years after the ending of the original release. She becomes aware that her son Andy has risen to great influence, founding an organization that seeks to enlighten the world through spirituality. After reuniting with her son, he lets her know that he is aware of his parentage though he chooses to do good within society. When a series of suspicious events transpire however, she begins to question whether his fate is as evil as his conception. [32]

As he works tirelessly to find a major role in a production, she is left in the apartment as a housewife. [33] [34] [7] [35] [36]

Confiding in an elderly couple named Roman and Minnie Castavet, they decide to continue their familial pursuits. As time goes on, Rosemary begins to question their intentions and grows weary suspecting foul-play in her friend's death. After experiencing a particularly frightening demonic encounter, she is lead to believe that it was a hallucination caused by medication. Discovering that she is pregnant, Rosemary believes that the violently sexual experience she had may have been reality, and suspects that the baby she is carrying may diabolically not be of this world.
