‘Rosemary’s Baby’ and ‘A Quiet Place’ set for Halloween re-release at PVR INOX

Roman Polanski’s psychological horror classic Rosemary’s Baby, and John Krasinski’s thriller A Quiet Place are set to return to the big screen on October 30 as part of the PVR INOX Halloween Film Festival.

Released in 1968, Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby, starring Mia Farrow, is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychological horror films ever made. The film will return in Paramount’s 4K restoration, marking its 55th anniversary.

Rosemary’s Baby follows Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman who begins to suspect that something sinister surrounds her pregnancy and the seemingly benevolent people in her life.

John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place (2018) offers a contemporary take on survival horror, set in a world where mysterious creatures hunt by sound. Starring Emily Blunt and Krasinski, the film follows a family forced to live in near-total silence to survive.

“India has always had a deep fascination with horror as a genre. We have grown up listening to fantastical tales, folklore, and stories of the supernatural, making the unknown and the unexplained an intrinsic part of our cultural imagination. Bringing back two exceptional films that have defined fear on the big screen in very different ways to PVR INOX is therefore extremely exciting,” said Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist, PVR INOX Ltd.

“Audiences love these films; while Rosemary’s Baby draws you into a world of psychological unease and creeping paranoia, A Quiet Place keeps you on the edge of your seat with its ingenious use of silence and suspense. Through our Halloween curation, we want audiences to rediscover the thrill of these iconic films in our theaters. Their magic is timeless,” Bijli added.
