4/10
An intriguing but needless sequel.

Warning: Spoilers
I was always curious about this sequel and I finally saw it on YouTube. There is one very good asset to this movie: it contains 4 Oscar winners: Patty Duke (1962 winner for The Miracle Worker) playing Rosemary; Ray Milland (1945 winner for The Lost Weekend) playing Roman; Broderick Crawford (winner for All the king's men) playing a sheriff; and of course last but not least, Ruth Gordon (1968 best supporting actress for the original film, Rosemary's Baby). That's pretty much it. From what I saw it has very little to do with Ira Levin's original. He certainly doesn't receive any acknowledgment in the credits. The screenwriter seems to be speculating about what happened after the first film ended. It doesn't even pickup from New York like the original film. And for any Seinfeld fans out there: if you look closely, the guy who plays Adrian later portrayed Elaine's "Svengali" psychologist/boyfriend. I gave this film one star for each Oscar winner that was in this film. They are the only good things about it.
