Certification
Sex & Nudity
-
- There are several instances of female nudity. There is also male nudity, but the scenes are either so dark or shown so quickly that their penises and scrotums are impossible to distinguish. Only male chests are clearly seen.
- We see a woman's bare breasts and buttocks during a dream sequence.
- A woman suggests to a man that they have sex; they remove their clothing, you briefly see the woman's breasts as they kiss.
- A man and a woman lie on a bed while kissing and stop when they hear a noise. No nudity.
- A man and a woman kiss passionately in many scenes.
- A man removes a woman's clothes and we see her in a lace bra and panties.
- A woman explains how she thought an older couple wanted to use her for sex trafficking but soon found out she was mistaken.
Violence & Gore
-
- Two very disturbing and graphic rape scenes (see sex and nudity).
- We see a woman's dead body lying on the ground after she commits suicide; there is blood on her face, the ground, and a nearby car. We see this image only once again.
- In self defense, a woman hits a man in the head with a phone receiver. Not graphic.
Profanity
-
- Rosemary's husband habitually but sparingly says "shit, Goddamn, Christ". He also refers to her female friends as "bitches" twice.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- The characters drink wine, but not to excess.
- A character is a recovered drug addict; she is never seen intoxicated or handling drug paraphernalia.
- The main character's husband smokes habitually throughout.
- There is a brief mention of marijuana towards the beginning of the film, and later on people are seen smoking at a party.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Frighteningly realistic portrayals of evil and the occult throughout, with an increasingly intense atmosphere of terror and dread. Mature, potentially highly disturbing themes and dialogue including paranoia, conspiracy, rape, and aberrant behavior (cannibalism, demonic worship, human sacrifice, etc.)
- Some scenes are filmed and edited in a surreal, dreamlike fashion, enhancing their unsettling nature.
- The film's eerie and unconventional musical score can be frightening.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- A woman is shown being raped by the devil while tied up and fully nude. Her breasts are seen in an earlier shot, but her pubic area is never shown.
- A woman wakes up (her back is visible with multiple deep scratches) and her husband admits to raping her while she slept.
Violence & Gore
- The heroine is tied down to a bed and impregnated by the devil incarnate, but because she thinks she's dreaming, she doesn't struggle or react much.
- A woman thrashes and screams as people hold her down on a bed, believing they intend to take her baby after she delivers it. They shove a rag into her mouth and a man injects her with a sedative and says that she's going into labor. When she awakens, a man tells her that the baby was stillborn. She accuses them of lying, and begins throwing a fit until they sedate her again.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- The main character's husband serves her chocolate mousse that he knows his neighbor has drugged.
- The heroine finds out she has been given specious drugs and nutrients throughout her entire pregnancy.
- After the heroine gives birth, her obstetrician keeps her mildly sedated to keep her weak and inactive.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Rosemary's husband becomes emotionally neglectful of her as the story progresses, and belittles and dismisses her growing anxiety and distress. After the dream / rape sequence he implies he had sex without her consent. In the finale it is revealed he has traded her as the vessel of the anti-Christ in return for fame.
- The film's depiction of Rosemary's pregnancy is disturbing, showing her becoming physically and mentally very unwell, as well as those around her being complicit in the process.
- Members of a cult drug a woman, who is then raped by a demon that is implied as Satan. The scene is eerie and uncomfortable to watch, but it is shot in a surreal and disjointed manner.
- The last scene in which a coven of Satanists proclaim "hail Satan" and "God is dead" may easily upset religious viewers.
- Near the middle, the pregnant heroine becomes increasingly paranoid and fearful for her unborn child's life. Eventually as she's trying to escape, her husband and obstetrician escort her home in a taxi against her will but she doesn't fight them. Again she escapes into an ascending manual elevator which stops between floors. She has to jump down a few feet but lands unharmed but begins having contractions as she continues running. Her husband and doctor and other enemies catch up with her and hold her as she does into labor.
