PLOT SUMMARY

Rosemary decides to takes Adrian, the son she bore to Satan, away from the coven and flees from New York. But the coven is more powerful than she thought and arrange for Rosemary to be whsiked away on a driverless bus, leaving Adrian to be raised by one of their own. As an adult, Adrian - now known as Andrew - tries to rebel against the coven, but they have plans for him to sire a diabolical child of his own.

An unnecessary and unwanted sequel that adds nothing new to the story. The direction is the typically bland 70s made-for-TV style that robs the enterprise of any atmosphere, the performances are mostly unexceptional and there are so many inconsistencies between this and the first film that the whole venture eventually sinks without trace.
