Instant horror classic concerning mother-to-be Farrow growing more and more suspicious that those closest to her are plotting some sort of sinister ritual involving the baby once it's born. Brilliantly shot with beautiful sets, smooth establishing shots, and several impressive single-shot scenes. Most of the acting is excellent for the era, with the few bumps getting disguised nicely; and an overall evenly paced conflict leading to a timeless climatic scene. Second installment in Polanski's trilogy of self-contained films about a protagonist's horrific experiences in an apartment setting. Tony Curtis is the voice on the phone and William Castle is the man near the phone booth.
