A young couple move into a new apartment, only to be surrounded by peculiar neighbours and unusual occurrences. When the wife becomes mysteriously pregnant, doubt over the safety and identity of her unborn child begins to fray her psyche. Roman Polanski’s masterpiece of slow-build horror and abject paranoia will linger long once its mortifying conclusion has been reached.
‘Having escaped the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust in Poland by the skin of his teeth, Mr. Polanski was well equipped psychologically to re-imagine what was, before Rosemary's Baby, a B-picture genre into an A-picture genre.’ Andrew Sarris, Observer
‘Weird obstetricians, mysterious night noises and even Farrow's improvised stroll into actual oncoming traffic add up to a bustling nightmare that's spawned many a Black Swan since.’ Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out
Mae pâr ifanc yn symud i mewn i fflat newydd lle maent wedi'u hamgylchynu gan gymdogion hynod a digwyddiadau rhyfedd. Pan fo'r wraig yn beichiogi'n anesboniadwy, mae amheuaeth o ran diogelwch a hunaniaeth y plentyn mae hi'n ei ddisgwyl yn dechrau amharu ar ei seice. Campwaith Roman Polanski o ffilm arswyd sy'n symud yn araf a pharanoia llwyr a fydd yn parhau'n hir ar ôl cyrraedd diweddglo gofidus y ffilm.
