Movies that feel likeRosemary's Baby (1968)

A young couple, Rosemary and Guy, moves into an infamous New York apartment building, known by frightening legends and mysterious events, with the purpose of starting a family.

If you loved Rosemary's Baby, the closest films we have are Repulsion (1965), Marathon Man (1976) and Speak No Evil (2024). All three share Rosemary's Baby's unsettling and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is The Parallax View (1974).
