>i'm a fan of theirs to, but this was an L for them.
Don't disagree...it was their first feature and they made a ton of mistakes -- most of them at the script level -- but like I said before, they're still great at creating mood and it did have some nice setpieces. It's a Netflix streaming kind of joint, but as a fan of RS, I could still find some good in it.

You're absolutely right. Saying 'beat for beat' was too strong, but I still feel like RB was more than just a simple 'influence'. It almost felt like a re-imagining or adaptation of it. They shared a lot of plot points -- satanic cult looking to bring forth the devil's spawn, death/illness of those who try to interfere, creepy doctor slithering in and becoming primary caregiver, consumption of raw meat, cult coming in and taking the baby away, etc...you get what I'm saying.
>Sidenote: I'm curious to see what NBC does with ITS remake of >Rosemary's Baby, the miniseries with Zoe Saldana starring in >the lead role.....
That'll be interesting. I'll watch, but my expectations are low. Apparently, Zoe is getting a pixie cut, a la Mia Farrow, in preparation lol.
