I’ve never understood the love for Polanski’s films :nod:

Not even Rosemarys baby?

That’s the exception, but I still think it’s pretty average and overrated, prefer the Omen TBH

From watching it constantly on T.V as a kid-teen i too love the Omen.:nod:

As to Polanski I really like Rosemarys baby, Repulsion and the Tenant, which are all thematically linked by the subject of paranoia.:cool:

Otherwise i think fearless vampires is a bit hit and miss, i like it but it's not amazing.

Chinatown was O.K when i saw it years ago and i didn't mind Cul-de-sac due to Donald Pleasence being in it.

Also quite liked his version of Macbeth.:pop2:

I've barely seen any Polanski films. The Ninth Gate with Johnny Depp is easily the best of his I've watched. Remember Frantic being ok but haven't seen it in years. And Chinatown was average. I tried The Tenant but it bored my silly.

With me i think he's either brilliant or rubbish.

As it's all personal taste the ones i don't like tend to be the ones others love. Such as The Tenant and Fearless Vampire Killers. Rosemary's Baby is merely average, just a kitchen sink drama that's as scary as seeing a spider on your wall.

I've had Repulsion for ages but don't want to watch it in case i don't like it.

I tend to like his less heralded work such as Venus in Fur, The Ghost Writer, The Ninth Gate (a masterpiece), Bitter Moon, Frantic, What?.

Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers is a very fine parody. Period.

Was it not for Sharon Tate i wouldn't give it house room.

:whip: :poke: :fencing:

Exactly. Glad I’m not the only one that doesn’t get why it’s always in the Top Ten of Best Horror Films lists :nod:
