Trivia
The character Eugene Gatowski is a fictional character, based on several producers, who worked with Roman Polanski including William Castle and Gene Gutowski. While in real life Rosemary's Baby was produced by William Castle and Dance of the Vampires was produced by Gene Gutowski, in this movie Eugene Gatowski produced both movies. See more »Goofs
In the movie Anton LaVey is hired originally as a technical advisor for "Rosemary's Baby". However this was just a claim and it was not true. Neither Anton Szandor LaVey nor his "Church of Satan" were involved with this movie. See more »Quotes

Adjectives will fail you, as you try to classify this load of crap, as you try to get over the sadness of having spent actual lifetime watching this, as you fail to get anything out of it - either artistic or historically relevant.
Nothing. Not one thing.
This is a poorly (seriously poor) filmed 'something' made just to make a fool out of Roman Polanski (something that, among everything you can say about him, he will never be). It's a piece of fundamentalist propaganda that doesn't even try to be smart. It looks like it's done by unloved Sunday-school teachers. One of the guys that was trying to sell this at the Film Market in Cannes refers to Polanski with racist, anti-Semitic remarks. His face trembles in anger as he speaks. "Do you know who's a great, underrated filmmaker?" he asks. "Mel Gibson!" he concludes.
