Rating: 
Roman Polanski’s psychological horror yarn about a woman who believes herself to be pregnant by the devil is an intelligent study in paranoia. Not only does Polanski keep the viewer guessing for most of the film but his restrained storytelling stops it from becoming ridiculous. The late Krzystof Komeida’s score keeps this in mind, offering up a varied enough interpretation of the genre to attract more than your average horror music fan. Cues such as, ‘Expectancy’ and ‘Christmas’ highlight the anticipation of an exciting event, while ‘The Covern’ Parts 1 and 2 and ‘What Have They Done To It’s Eyes?’, send shivers down your spine with strings, demonic chanting and atonal whistling. ‘Rosemary’s Party’ and ‘Moment Musical’ feature 1960s instrumental jazz and lounge, used in the film to mark moments of normality - Komeda’s experiences as a Jazz musician in Poland during the 1950s has undoubtedly influenced his work on this score - and it is this unsettling mixture of the exceedingly normal and disturbingly abnormal that make both the film and its score work so well.
