Among film genres, horror is the one in which we find the most intense exploration of our fears and anxieties (CLARK; SENN, 2011). Bearing in mind that film production takes place in the midst of the dialectical relationship between discourse and society (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003; 2016), the horror genre serves as a gateway for studying the domination of certain groups and the marginalization of others. Therefore, based on the view of film as a multisemiotic text (WILDFEUER, 2014; SOARES, 2022), the aim of this work is to analyze how gender relations are represented in the American horror film Rosemary's Baby (1968). Based on the studies of Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003; 2016) and Systemic-Functional Linguistics (HALLIDAY, 1978; HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014), the analysis of this work followed a micro-macro path in which the sequences of the corpus were analyzed in dimensions. The first dimension, linguistic, was developed from the Ideational metafunction of Systemic-Functional Grammar (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2014). The second dimension, multimodal, was anchored in Social Semiotics (HODGE; KRESS, 1988; van LEEUWEN, 2005), more specifically in Visual Design Grammar (KRESS; van LEEUWEN, 2022). The third dimension, filmic discourse, was based on Bordwell's cognitive theory of cinematic narrativity (1985), as well as on filmic discursive relations (WILDFEUER, 2014; SOARES, 2022). Finally, the fourth dimension, macro analysis, was based on the concepts of hegemony and ideology from Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 2003; 2016), mental schemas (van DIJK, 2020) and male domination (BOURDIEU, 2020). The results show that the horror of Rosemary's Baby (1968) is not constructed through the use of scenes of murder, possession, or any other types of graphic horror. The horror of Rosemary's Baby (1968) is sustained by relations of domination based on gender issues between Rosemary and those around her, such as her husband, her neighbors, her doctor, etc., inviting us to think about the connection between power, discourse and gender.
