Rosemary's Baby currently wins by a hair over Hereditary 51–49
Domestic horror fifty years apart, and the genre hasn't moved an inch.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict Decades Apart
Both films turn motherhood into a trap — Rosemary carrying something monstrous, Annie carrying her mother's conspiracies — and the 51-to-49 split says the trap works equally well in either decade. What separates them is volume. Polanski whispers; the Bramford apartment closes in by millimeters, the wallpaper pressing inward. Aster screams; his most devastating sequence is a detonation that restructures the entire film around its crater. Neither approach converts the other's partisans across 278 votes, which suggests the horror audience isn't divided by era or style but by how loudly they need the betrayal stated.
