Warning: Spoilers
The original "Rosemary's Baby" is one of my favorite horror movies and it's great that the ending left it all ambiguous and open to interpretation. That is, until this stupid TV sequel was made. There are almost no good direct to video sequels to theatrically released movies and it looks like the same can be said for TV movie sequels to theatrically released movies. This movie is unbearably stupid and bland. It features Rosemary taking care of her child at 7 years old, but then she's lured onto a haunted bus. It's so strange because I doubt if I've ever seen a bus with no driver in a movie before, but this scene STILL came off as completely clichéd. We get lame stuff like slow motion and satanic curses.

The two main Satanists are this guy and his wife. His wife is amazingly annoying and it doesn't even seem like she's trying to be serious. So anyway, after Rosemary disappears, a cultist raises her son. They discuss having the Satanists raise him, but decide not to, because they don't want him to live a sheltered life. He ends up living a sheltered life anyway. They perform a ritual to um, turn him into a monster or something, I don't know and they give him makeup like in KISS. Someone gets electrocuted and then the guy wakes up in a hospital. Apart from the stupid story, it's completely boring and wouldn't please any horror movie fan or any movie fan for that mirror.

It seems like everything is just shot poorly. It hasn't aged well at all. I might have seen a low quality version, but it doesn't really matter. The movie ends with a woman having Rosemary's son's baby. That means we're back exactly where we were at the end of the original film. That means this entire film was completely pointless as the world doesn't end, nor is the world saved. In the original film, you never even got to see the baby at the end. This just shows how important it is to make the audience come up with their own story. We don't want to see what happens next and there's almost no way a sequel to this movie could ever be good. This actual sequel doesn't ruin the original classic, but it's still a piece of crap. *
