As a fan of Rosemary’s Baby and the novel, I loved Apartment 7A! Even if I knew what was going to happen to Terry, I was still rooting for her. I loved the dance scenes too and how it showed more info on the coven.

Julia Garner is the reason I'll probably watch this, but not until I finally catch up and finally watch _Rosemary's Baby._

[kathywellerart]

I liked this. I thought it was interesting. It added some background mythology and some “new” nostalgia-like moody moments and vibes for fans of Rosemary’s Baby. The production value was very good and I appreciated the attention to period detail. Dianne Weist was spot on as the Ruth Gordon character, as was her husband. And Julia Garner great as usual. (I can’t pinpoint out a weak spot in the cast, now that I’m thinking about it). I really think this film does a good service to feed big fans of Rosemarys baby, and it didn’t disappoint me. I’d MUCH rather have a new story to add to the original story than a dumb remake. This one satisfied me. I really appreciate your review, though- different takes from different people! And when I looked first at review of this, I was hoping a review from you would pop up and you did! Thanks!

As someone who likes Rosemary's Baby, i did enjoy this prequel.

[PauloCesar-ozdy]

Rosemary's Baby is my favorite movie ever and I completely agree. You can feel it was made with a lot of love but it suffers a lot from being too derivative. Not only that, but adding those scary scenes while the original didn't have any of that except for THAT scene didn't help.

[angelinaramon]

I would have preferred a movie about Adrian Marcato instead. Maybe even the Trench sisters or Keith Kennedy.

[parkeaudio]

Acting was good, story was almost good, but the scenes changes were choppy and disjointed like they were tired of shooting and wanted to get to the next scene without any transition, and there is a lot of plot devices that are squeezed in with little reason for being there (like finding the door between the apartments) It could have been so much better, but like I always say “It’s no Rosemary’s Baby” that is one of the very few “perfect” movies that is my standard comparison to all other movies in that genre

Edit: the rhinestone demon was silly, what the original did with suspense and allowing the viewer to imagine and then the few reveals was much better

[Crochet.Awhile.and.Listen]

Looking forward to Salem's Lot on Max next week. It will prob suck but gonna watch it anyway lol.

[IamTHoiA]

While i would say yes you are correct on the idea of it not bringing new the table. To which i say, so what? It was a good movie and I like slow burn so wasn't tedious to watch at all for me. Some revisited a movie that is truly a classic from 1968, one that we horror fans loved and revere, and what did they do? Gabe us more of that good stuff. I have seen and love Rosermary's Baby but say it's "scary" by today's standards is really kind of a stretch. It's creepy and so is Apartment 7A. Not to mention they didn't have the audacity to put either "Resemary" or "baby" in the title tells me that had enough integrity to make a film and let it be iwhat it wanted to be. Thankfully thjey did not try and make a sequel as the ambiguity of the ending is so tasty. Kind of like how Handmaid's Tale (the show) ruined itself when they made season 2. Finally making this film they way they did will no doubt bring a new wave of audience to the original and I like that idea a lot.

The movie is okay but yeah why it chose to be a same story like the original is lame. A better prequel would have been about the Castevets. About them as a younger couple and how they became satanists. That would have been interesting.

[CaroleMcDonnell]

Dang, i love Jennifer Garner so much. It would've been good if this movie worked.

[justiceflynn]

This wasn't on my radar. I will probably see it because it'll be nice to see the great Dianne Wiest!! And Julia Garner is a great up and coming actress!!

[evildead]

in the original movie terry and rosemary have meet each other. that didnt happen in this one

[matheuslascasas]

I thought a prequel for The omen would be unecessary, but I thought The first omen was really good. It all comes down to the writing and direction.

I also never thought there would be need for a sequel to The shining

[nevskislake]

Thank you for your review, Chris! I will pass on this one and rewatch Rosemary's Baby instead. Have a great weekend.

[Chrisbajs]

This was very mid. Too on the nose. No subtlety.

[azcurlygurl]

Well bummer, too bad this is a skip. Hold Your Breath is coming out on Hulu this week and has a stellar cast. Hoping that one is worth a watch.

[annedaner]

What a disappointment! Nothing original or interesting. I was bored the whole time and the ending is ridiculous!

[Nostromo]

Can we leave off the horrors until at least Halloween week Chris...? 😱;-p Ya'all know it's only 1 day right lol?
Only horror show I'm looking forward to is your elections! 👻

[danielrubinstein]

It's not bad but not scary either, it's meh, pretty basic
