PVR INOX Limited is bringing two unforgettable cinematic experiences back to theatres. On October 30, Roman Polanski’s psychological horror classic Rosemary’s Baby and John Krasinski’s edge-of-your-seat thriller A Quiet Place will be screened as part of the PVR INOX Halloween Film Festival. Rosemary’s Baby is restored and remastered in 4K.
With these two generations of horror cinema, the festival offers audiences an opportunity to experience the tension, atmosphere and immersive storytelling of these acclaimed films in the theatrical setting they deserve.
Whether it is the unsettling psychological dread of Rosemary’s Baby or the nerve-racking silences of A Quiet Place, both films prove how the most powerful horror often lies in what we fear, what we imagine and what we cannot escape.
About Baby and A Quiet Place
Released in 1968, Rosemary’s Baby is regarded as one of the most influential psychological horror films ever made. The film, directed by Roman Polanski, follows Rosemary Woodhouse, a young woman who begins to suspect that something sinister surrounds her pregnancy and the seemingly benevolent people in her life. With its slow-building tension, deeply unsettling atmosphere and exploration of paranoia, the film established a benchmark for psychological horror that continues to resonate with audiences decades later.
John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place (2018) offers a contemporary take on survival horror. Starring Emily Blunt and Krasinski, the film is set in a world where mysterious creatures hunt by sound. It follows a family forced to live in near-total silence to survive. Its inventive use of sound and silence, combined with its emotional core and sustained suspense, transformed an ordinary family’s struggle for survival into an intensely immersive cinematic experience.
“We want audiences to rediscover the thrill of these films”
Speaking about the re-release, Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist, PVR INOX Ltd., said, “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.”
“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 theatres. Their magic is timeless,” she added.
