This is a very bad remake of Rosemary's Baby, with more than just a nod to the original. The original
title was Samantha's Baby, which makes no sense as she has twins. Samantha even works for St Rosemary's! (which is silly as there IS no St Rosemary) The script is dire, the dialogue sometimes laughable. The
acting is okay, the late great David Hemming, Andy Serkis, Fionulla Hughes and the sparkling Stella Stevens ably supporting gorgeous Heather Graham and James Purefoy. The star of
the movie, however, is Heather Graham's prosthetic belly which is utterly believable. Where the movie fails is, its supposed to be a horror and yet fails to deliver a single scare throughout its 90 minutes. What irritated me was the
reaction of several characters to the news of twins. They get this horrified glazed look that is
mildly offensive. Its such a
pity that THIS had to be the swansong of the late David Hemmings.
