Rosemary's Baby is an NBC miniseries based on the Ira Levin novel of the same name. It will air across two two-hour episodes starting Sunday, May 11th and concluding the following Thursday.

Anyone else looking forward to this? Reviews have been mixed, but as a fan of the book and of Zoe Saldana I'll be watching this.

How's the Roman Polanski movie?

It´s one of the greatest horror movies of all times.

Near perfect.

No idea this was made into a mini-series. I have no interest in it though (unless it turns out to be really good).

The early reviews are very negative. I think it's one to skip.

Yep. It's held up incredibly well, too.

There's no way this is going to approach the gut-wretchingly slow and creeping horror of the film.

Gonna say pass.

Not shocked. Who thought this was a good idea?

Curtisaur · May 11, 2014

I bought the movie on Criterion blu-ray a while ago but never watched it. Bad habit of mine.

Tucah · May 11, 2014

Morbidly curious but I doubt this is going to be very good, let alone touch one of the greatest horror movies ever.

CheesecakeRecipe · May 11, 2014

Let's all just eat some shrooms and listen to John Zorn's I.A.O. by candlelight instead.

sleeprockss · May 11, 2014

I wonder if they will try to recreate the title credit sequence from the original.

peanutbutterlatte · May 12, 2014

Are they just working their way through 80s horror/thrillers to turn into flashy cable series?

Levi · May 12, 2014

I've never seen the original, so I won't have that baggage when I sit down to watch this tonight. Maybe I'll like it more than the reviewers have, since all I have to compare it to is the novel.

I wholeheartedly agree. They're probably gonna put "What did you do to its eyes!?" In the very first episode, and it will be terrible.

I'm going to treat this as a compliment towards the film, because it's from 1968.

I hope they say the

"GOD IS DEAD, SATAN LIVES!! HAIL SATAN!"

line on network TV. NBC will get so many angry calls from hardcore Christians.

They have to, "hail satan" is easily among the best lines I've heard.

I just watched it's alright.

While I was watching this show for some reason I was constantly reminded by cancelled TV show called 666 Park Avenue.

Levi · May 12, 2014

The Kindle deal of the day is the original novel this is based on. Very much worth reading.

Dead Prince · May 12, 2014

i didn't know it was a 2 part 2 hour event. watched it last night. love zoe. the effects and blood were terrible but i would watch part 2 on thursday though.

EDIT: OP Got part 2 wrong. it's thursday the 15th. not sunday. unless there was a change in schedule.

MikeOxbig · May 16, 2014

That scene of the police commissioner driving to meet Rosemary in the park was...well, I don't know how to describe it. Insane? Bizarre? The accordian music...the water dripping on his head...the blood. Honestly, I'd love an explanation.

Ovid · May 16, 2014

This premiered already?

Watching it now and I have the same feeling. The story's concept is basically the same things as that.

DominoKid · May 17, 2014

Never saw the original but i cant imagine it was as boring as this remake. Terrible show.

Cygnus · May 17, 2014

One of my favourite films of all time, not sure I can bring myself to watch this
