Rosemary's Baby | Storm of the Century

 As Halloween appproches I feel the need to bring you two films on the scary side of town.  Last year we dealt with ghost stories this year we are going for thriller moviesThe First is Rosemary's Baby  1968  I had not seen it in years and as I  watched it I felt , wow this had to be really really scary in 1968.  The film deals with Satan and how just moving into a certain building and meeting the neighbors changes  their lives.  It stares Mia Farrow, John Cassavetes and my personal favorite Ruth Gordan.   Unlike a lot of Hollywood movies that do not mirror the book, Roman Polanski's   screenplay  follows the book.  A little movie trivia, Mia Farrow was married to Frank Sinatra at the time of this film.  Frank wanted Mia to quit on this film as he was working on a film of his own, she did not want to leave in the middle of production so Frank filed divorce papers right on the set right in front of the crew.  Frank liked to do things his way.  Next on the list is Storm Of The Century 1999, written for tv by Steven King it was made into a three part mini series I own it and will lend it just let me know.  It is almost four hours long but when you break it up it moves quickly.  The basic story line is a small island off the coast of Maine is Hit with a major snowstorm power is cut from the mainland.  A stranger comes to  the island and wrecks havoc, he seems to know all the personal secrets of the islanders.  He keeps repeating the same line Give me what I want and  I will go away.  Lock the doors and keep the lights on .  Movielynne
