This final tone and the final sequence are all the more effective in that most of the film leading up to it has been so successfully muted, underplayed, and ambiguous. ...read the complete Rosemary's Baby movie review at Notcoming.com (Ian Johnston)

I suppose calling this a horror movie is perhaps missing the mark, as Polanski seems less concerned with the demonic element than he does the way in which the world closes in around young Rosemary and the increasing lack of trust she has in those around ...
