Et unge par, Guy og Rosemary, flytter ind i en lejlighed i et stort gammelt hus, hvor de hurtigt kommer i kontakt med et ældre excentrisk og meget påtrængende ægtepar. Snart bliver Rosemary gravid og gennemgår en masse komplikationer, men Guy synes at være mere opsat på at forsvare lægen end at støtte sin kone. Snart får Rosemary mistanke om, at naboerne i ejendommen afholder kultseancer og planlægger at ofre hendes baby.
