Kultuslik põnevik, kus kurjus peidab end kõige süütuma näo taha...Rosemary Woodhouse ja tema kiratseva näitlejakarjääriga abikaasa Guy on õnnelikus abielus noorpaar, kellel avaneb kauaoodatud võimalus kolida Bramfordi, vanasse New Yorgi kortermajja. Bramfordil on omal ajal olnud pahaendeline maine ja ehkki nüüd prestiizhne korterelamu, asustavad seda peamiselt eakad elanikud. Peagi tulevad uusi naabreid tervitama Roman ja Minnie Castevet, ekstsentriline vanapaar, kelle korterist kostab vahel veidraid helisid. Hoolimata Rosemary ebamäärastest kahtlustest Castevetide suhtes sõbruneb tema abikaasa nendega otsekohe. Varsti pärast seda, kui Guy saab ihaldatud rolli Broadwayl, jääb Rosemary rasedaks ja Castevetid hakkavad tema enesetunde vastu erilist huvi üles näitama. Kui Rosemary ennast üha haigemana tunneb ja sulgub aina rohkem koduseinte vahele, hakkab ta kahtlustama, et Castevetide sõprus pole see, millena näib ..."Rosemary laps" ("Rosemary's Baby") on Ameerika kirjaniku Ira Levini 1967. aastal ilmunud romaan, mis pani aluse õuduszhanri populaarsusele ja kaubanduslikule edule. Laskumata verisesse vägivalda või gootilikku melodraamasse loob Levin pineva psühholoogilise õhustiku, kus lugeja ei saa kunagi olla kindel, kas Rosemary kartused oma sündimata lapse isaduse päritolu kohta tuginevad tegelikkusele või on pelgalt tema enda ettekujutuse vili, mille on põhjustanud sünnituseelne hüsteeria.
