None of that is what the film is about. What the film is about is a young woman telling the people around her that something is wrong, over and over, in a rising register of politeness and panic, and being smiled at and medicated and sent home. Roman Polanski&rsquo;s 1968 film — his first made in America, adapted with almost fanatical fidelity from Ira Levin&rsquo;s bestseller — is the definitive horror film about gaslighting, made two decades before the word entered common use. The Satanism is the alibi. The horror is the not-being-believed.</p>Tue, 12 Sep 2023 08:00:00 +0000
