Polanski created a great atmosphere for horror throughout the film. The lullaby at the beginning of the film alludes to what's to come and intrigues the viewer, and when it is repeated at the end it's taken on a new feeling of dread and despair. Building suspense and creepiness allows them to accomplish horror without excessive jump scares or gory/graphic scenes. Mia Farrow's performance was so convincing, her pain and fear is palpable.
