In spite of how scary this photo looks, and the reputation this movie has as a horror film, I did not find the movie to be at all frightening. The premise: Rosemary and her husband have come into contact with a coven of witches. When Rosemary becomes pregnant she discovers the coven and suspects them of tampering with her pregnancy. Between trying to protect herself and her baby, and trying to tell people of her plight, she seems cuckoo. The baby doesn't show up until the end of the movie, we never get to see the baby, but we understand from the dialog that the baby is a product of Rosemary and Satan and that he has odd eyes, hands, and feet.
The scary knife she holds is because she went on a hunt for the baby they said had died. Sneaking around a building full of witches made her feel as if she needed a bit of and edge (no pun intended...). She never used the knife, never threatened anyone with the knife--and they call this a horror movie?! The scariest thing in the movie was how little the husband sold his soul (and the soul of his firstborn) to the devil for.
