A diplomatic couple adopts the son of the devil without knowing it. A remake of the classic horror film of the same name from 1976.
Acting
Mia Farrow's Mrs. Baylock: Rosemary's revenge, served ice-cold.
Cinematography
That decapitation shot deserves its own film school lecture.
Score
Jerry Goldsmith's original themes, still absolutely unholy.
Director
John Moore
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released 6/6/06 worldwide—marketing so shameless it circles back to brilliant. The Vatican actually declined comment.
Moore digitally recreated Gregory Peck's original death scene shot-for-shot, then made it gorier—arguably the entire remake's philosophy in one sequence.
