The Verdict Decades Apart

Rosemary's Baby understands something about violation that Hereditary approaches from the outside: the worst betrayal comes from people who love you, performed gently, while they're smiling. Guy Woodhouse handing his wife to a coven isn't a horror set piece — it's a marriage rendered as a transaction he conducts over dinner. Aster's Annie is destroyed by forces outside the family. Rosemary is destroyed by the family itself, and that distinction is what 54 voters out of 225 are registering. The edge here belongs to the film where the monster sleeps in your bed and makes you breakfast afterward.
