thanks for the welcome (it wasnt a 'fuck you' but I'll survive - leave it for the kids :)
Rosemary's Baby certainly wont prevent people from having kids (but Jaws didnt stop me from swiming either .... well, at least in fresh water :)
There are 2 things that prey on the fears of expectant parents .. 1) that the baby will be normal
2) that nothing will happen to the baby.
The other thing that Rosemary's Baby did was turn the girls life upside down ..
Kind neighbours turn into devil worshipers, A husband becomes a collaborator ...and the baby is in danger of becoming the son of satan ... and the girl herself questions her sanity ..
Its all about loss...
Maybe the demographic responsible for voting this in was largely women because it certainly hits them where they live.
It gets my vote because of Polanski's direction .. his pace, sense of style ...
I wish he wasn't such a twat when it comes to girls because he had a lot to contribute to the genre and should be making more films !!
