i mean theres literally no scary moments and although they're satan worshippers they're never actually mean or scary towards her. i cant see how this is deemed one of the scariest films of all time.

Are you looking for cheap scares and thrills? Then this is not the film for you.
This is psychological horror at its best. It still gives me the chills to think of what they did to her and her own Husband prostituted her out for fame. Despicable.

You have to be a millennial to not think this eerie, foreboding film wasn't one of the creepiest. After Rosemary has put two and two together and dashes out of the apartment even that telephone booth scene is scary. The Castevets were creepy in their own right acting so concerned when all the time planning with the Devil. How they convinced guy to let his wife be raped by the Devil still floors me.

Have you read any of that Wikileaks stuff about John Podesta, Marina Abramovic, spirit cooking, Comet Pizza, etc.? Look it up and you'll have a better understanding of what's scary about Rosemary's Baby. It's the possibility that people like this could be among us and that things like this could be going on right underneath our noses.

I found it chilling. In a good way that is. Guess that makes it a good summer movie since it's quite chilling like I just said
Even though I was creeped out by it when I first saw it, I doubt I would feel the same way on a second viewing since I'd know what to expect the second time around. Same with Angel Heart.

I totally get why you don't find the movie scary - because it just isn't meant to be "scary".
The Satanists were only used as a (pretty over the top) plot device to represent people around you all colluding to get you - which is the real horror the movie portrays - that truth only exists to people willing to believe you.
I find that deeply horrific - if not scary.
Now, try to imagine if Roman Polanski isn't actually a rapist nor a pedophile. Or if that one Trump-supporting neighbor of yours isn't actually a racist, sexist idiot.
Then imagine yourself as Polanski or your Trump-supporting neighbor. -

There are different kinds of "scary." This is a paranoia fever dream kind of scaryan "am I losing my mind?" kind of scary. It's about mood and atmosphere and what's happening on the other side of that wall kind of scary. It's the kind of scary that stays with you.
