Rosemary's Baby currently edges Hereditary 53–47
Domestic horror fifty years apart, and the genre hasn't moved an inch.
The Verdict Decades Apart
Both films turn motherhood into a trap — Rosemary carrying something monstrous, Annie carrying her mother's conspiracies — and the 53-to-47 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 241 votes, which suggests the horror audience isn't divided by era or style but by how loudly they need the betrayal stated.
