Goofs:

Continuity: This is a sequel to "Rosemary's Baby", and in that film Adrian was born in 1966. This movie shows Adrian at an indeterminate age, although he can be assumed to be in his early 20s, which would mean the movie takes place in at least 1986 or 1987. Yet the clothing, language, and music all clearly place the film in the mid 70s.

Quotes:

Roman: There in a house of God.
Minnie: I told you they were in some kind of a store.
Roman: Shut up! All of you!

Odious TV-made sequel...

Sam O'Steen, the film editor on the superlative suspense flick "Rosemary's Baby" from 1968, here directs a quickie TV-made sequel, one in which Rosemary Woodhouse (Patty Duke Astin, in for Mia Farrow) is shunted off early--and inexplicably--presumably to help flesh out the more ghoulish aspects of this flaccid story about Satan's son on Earth. Most interesting is the return of Ruth Gordon to her Oscar-winning role as Minnie Castevet (with Ray Milland well-cast as her husband, Roman), but she isn't given much to do--and looks terribly uncomfortable at being involved anyway. This script is strictly low-rent goods, and must have shamed original author Ira Levin (who went on to write his own sequel). Fairly dim and pallid, with poor photography and no suspense or scares whatsoever.
