Roman Polanski redefined the horror genre when he put Rosemary's Baby on the map. This chilling masterpiece includes paranoia, motherhood, and manipulation. The film is still completely relevant today, standing the test of time and illustrating that women's issues were not completely resolved in the 1960s.
