    Mia Farrow/John Cassavetes (1968)

    This was an early Polanski film (and yea, he was totally
    set up by his 'victims' Mom for $$$)

    We have an especially effective 'horror' film here,
    not like the standard cartoonish Hammer fare popular
    at the time - closer to the later "The Omen" and maybe
    even Depp's "Ninth Gate" - although from a more
    female-paranoia viewpoint.

    Farrow really was a total cutie back then too :-)

    Quick synopsis - couple move to a "Satan Central"
    apartment building. The sweet young thing gets
    preggers (husband or devilish neighbor or Satan
    himself ?). She is then micro-managed/brainwashed
    through the pregnancy by the Devil-loving neighbors
    so she can bear the 'AntiChrist'.

    The Devil wins in this one.
