10 Movies To Watch If You Liked Rosemary's Baby | ScreenRant

A haunted house movie is nothing new at this point, but when Rosemary's Baby was released in 1968, the premise was unlike anything seen before. The concept was fresh, as it tells the story of a young couple moving into a beautiful old apartment building and the woman experiencing a strange and creepy pregnancy. Moviegoers loved Mia Farrow's stylish short haircut and clothing just as much as the fascinating story.

There was even a miniseries with Zoe Saldana, but nothing will compare to the classic horror film. Whether fans are looking for a movie with a similarly scary setting or something about the devil or a weird pregnancy, there are many other horror movies to check out.

10 Annabelle (2014)

The first Annabelle movie, which was released in 2014, stars Ward Horton and Annabelle Wallis as John and Mia Form, a young couple who are attacked by members of a cult in their home. Like Rosemary's Baby, this film involves people who worship the devil, as that's exactly what the cult is about. The characters also move into an old apartment that looks a lot like the one in the classic 1968 film.

Annabelle is also worth watching because of how horrifying the titular doll is. The other movies in the series are well-done, too.

9 The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

In this 2005 horror movie, a priest believes that Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter) was being taken over by a demon. She has to leave college as she starts acting strangely and the exorcism that the priest tries doesn't work out, and has fatal consequences.

This is a film based on something that really happened, which makes it even creepier. Fans of Rosemary's Baby will enjoy watching the debates about whether Emily was "crazy" or something supernatural really was afoot.

8 1BR (2019)

Sometimes you find the perfect roommate; someone who puts away dishes and doesn't leave their stuff everywhere. That's not most people's experience, however, which is why most will relate to the 2019 horror movie 1BR.

Sarah (Nicole Brydon Bloom) movies into a new apartment and ends up fighting for her life as the people in the complex kidnap her. The film is a new take on the cult story, and these people are just as evil as the characters who mess with Rosemary's pregnancy in Rosemary's Baby.

7 Delivery: The Beast Within (2013)

This 2013 horror movie is like an updated take on Rosemary's Baby. Rachel (Laurel Vail) and Kyle Massy (Danny Barclay) are excited about their first pregnancy, but it turns out that something evil might have gotten into Rachel's womb, and the baby is possessed.

This film is more modern than Rosemary's Baby since the characters are also on a reality TV show to portray what it's like to experience pregnancy, which is a fascinating addition to this type of story.

6 Prevenge (2016)

Prevenge is a bit of a lighter take on a creepy pregnancy, as protagonist Ruth (Alice Lowe) thinks that her unborn baby is making her kill people. This film is a horror comedy that Lowe also directed, and it was released in 2016.

Instead of the baby being possessed by a demon, it's Ruth who is literally possessed and being made to do horrible things. It's definitely an intriguing concept.

5 The Omen (1976)

Released in 1976, The Omen tells the story of a child named Damien (Harvey Spencer Stephens), whom people think is the Antichrist.

This movie is a solid entry when it comes to devil stories, and it's a well-crafted, stylish movie that is still beloved to this day. Gregory Peck also played Robert, the man who adopts Damien along with his wife Katherine (Lee Remick).

4 The Exorcist (1973)

This classic horror movie, which came out in 1973, definitely has to be in the running when it comes to horror movies about possession and the devil.

Regan (Linda Blair) has been taken over, and as she's only 12 years old, it's pretty disturbing to watch. For many horror fans, this is the holy grail of movies, and one that will never be surpassed in terms of quality and concept.

3 Dark Water (2005)

In the 2005 film Dark Water, which is based on the 2002 film from Japan, Dahlia (Jennifer Connelly) moves into a new apartment with her daughter Cecilia (Ariel Gade), and it turns out that something seriously weird is going on in their new digs.

Not only does Dahlia notice water leaks, but her daughter starts seeing an imaginary friend. Dark Water is a great spooky film about people realizing that they moved into the wrong place.

2 Jennifer's Body (2009)

Jennifer's Body can be considered a much more contemporary version of Rosemary's Baby, taking place in a dull and creepy small town where nothing ever happens — usually.

Jennifer (Megan Fox) becomes possessed by a dark and supernatural presence, and while this movie doesn't involve scary apartment buildings or pregnancy, it does have a lot to say about what it's like to be a teenage girl.

1 Idle Hands (1999)

Another more light-hearted horror movie, Idle Hands was released in 1999 and is about a teenage boy named Anton (Devon Sawa) who starts murdering people after some supernatural force takes over his hand.

Complete with funny premise and clever title, Idle Hands also stars Jessica Alba and Seth Green.
