I watched Polanski's Rosemary's Baby yesterday and I must confess that I was pretty excited about it, since I had read a couple of rather good reviews about it. Well, I am disappointed : the movie is more than 2 hours long, nothing really happens in the first half and it falls flat at the end... There's some nice tension at some point and then : PFEWWWWwwww... The end cannot be called an end, there's just nothing, no explanation, nothing to think about, 'hail Satan' being the only thing the author could come up with; it reminds me of a good gripping book by Stephen King that ends with aliens coming from outer space to destroy earth and the hero killing them with a screwdriver and a banana.
Somewhere in the middle of the ovie, when it began to be interesting, I was prepared to trade the slow start for a good end but it's just not really worth it.
I would definitely not recommend it.
[EDIT]
After I wrote this, I browsed around and saw nothing but "best this" and "most that"... Well, it still didn't scare me nor compelled me to any feeling and the end is still bad.
