Look What's Happened to Rosemary's Baby (1976)

AKA: Rosemary's Baby Part II

Owing more to The Omen than Rosemary's Baby, Patty Duke inherits the role from Mia Farrow, while Ruth Gordon reprises her role as Mrs. Castevet. Adrian/Andrew, the former titular baby, is now a young boy. Rosemary has been plotting her escape for years when she finally seizes on an opportunity; meanwhile, the coven sets out in pursuit and closes in on them. 
I know it's a movie about Satan, but this movie was God awful. It has "made for television" written all over it. Bad acting, melodramatic score, shoddy special effects and poor writing/plotting. The story is told in three parts, separated by time period, as we follow Adrian as a young man and finally an adult (oddly enough, this outline would also mirror The Omen series of films).
