Rosemary's Baby currently dominates The Super Mario Bros. Movie 72–28
Polanski's paranoia classic devours the animated IP product — no contest.
The Verdict Decades Apart
Mia Farrow's face across two hours of accumulating dread — the vitamins that taste wrong, the neighbors who know too much, the husband who sold her to a cult for a career — is Polanski proving that domestic betrayal is the most durable horror premise in cinema. The Super Mario Bros. Movie is Illumination delivering Nintendo's IP at maximum commercial efficiency: bright, fast, inoffensive, designed to sell toys and keep children quiet. These films share nothing except a bracket slot. The gap reflects the distance between a film that changed what horror could do and a film that delivered exactly what a billion-dollar brand required. Craft versus commerce, and craft is winning easily.
