Apartment 7A Score Details “Apartment 7A is an unnecessary prequel that fails to recapture the unsettling magic of its parent film.
” Pros Cons The only things separating an inspired prequel from a foolish one are a strong idea and a strong artistic perspective. Apartment 7A doesn’t have either. It’s a prequel centered around a minor character from 1968’s Rosemary’s Baby, Terry Gionoffrio , whose fate is explicitly spelled out in that film’s first act.
Related Apartment 7A, conversely, can’t help but show its hand. It is a prequel comprised of static shots and sharp cuts that prevent it from ever recreating the dreamlike hold of its classic predecessor. It is even more literal and absurd, and yet it lacks Rosemary Baby‘s macabre sense of humor. Apartment 7A, in other words, misses the mark by missing the point.
What seems at first like a welcome stroke of luck starts to feel dangerous after a one-on-one night with Alan leaves Terry with bruises on her body and increasingly demonic visions. Minnie and Roman’s generosity, in turn, morphs into something more nefarious, and it isn’t long before Terry has grown both afraid and suspicious of her neighbor’s secret plans for her.
While its decision to tell Terry’s story greatly restricts its freedom, Apartment 7A still stumbles upon ideas that feel both distinctly tied to those at the heart of its greater franchise and unique to it. In its parent film, Farrow’s Rosemary is a woman who believes that those around her actually see her as a human being.
