She starts hiding her tranquilizers and bids her time, as she knows her child is alive and may be in imminent danger.Saturday, July 9th, 1966 - Rosemary, using her stash of tranquilizers to knock out Leah Fountain, who was sitting with her, ventures through the closet partition into the Castevet's apartment, armed with a meat cleaver. In the book, this caretaker appointed by the coven to watch over Rosemary is named Leah, but in the movie, it was instead Laura-Louise, a character who, in the book, is a second woman in the apartment building who takes care of Rosemary following her birth along with Leah. In creating a horror story out of a shibboleth of evil that Levin himself was not horrified by or scared of, a dissonance is created that lends to a cerebral or intellectual -- rather than visceral -- reaction in those most likely to have read the book and/or seen the film.The witches evidently place curses on Mrs. Gardenia (who had a son and thus was not a full-fledged witch and opposed the coven about something of considerable importance, likely Terry), Donald Baumgart, and Hutch.

Fantastic! Certainly, that element exists. No violence or supernatural freakouts or rabid beasts (well, maybe, one Beast, with a capital "B").The film is far subtler with its characterizations and its convincingly credible series of disturbing events in which humans transform into vessels for evil, not in Bram Stoker's Transylvania or Mary Shelley's Mitteleuropean laboratories or Stephen King's rural, atomized Maine but right inside a Manhattan brownstone.ALSO: This movie is very similar to Roman Polanski's later thriller CHINATOWN in that, at first viewing, the audience knows as little as the main character, Mia Farrow in this case and Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, where Faye Dunaway is holding the important secret throughout and here, John Cassavetes and the old couple are holding the secret over Rosemary.
