Their apartment is in the Bramford building made famous in Rosemary’s Baby. Anyone who’s seen that film knows that this building is bad news.

It doesn't blow open or reinvent the "Rosemary's Baby" mythology, but it's a decent primer to attract younger audiences back to the 1968 classic film. Terry is played by the ever superb "Ozark" triple Emmy winner Julia Garner,

"I'd be dead now if it wasn't for them," Terry says, "that's an absolute fact." Paramount+'s Apartment 7A, directed by Natalie Erika James (Relic), uses Terry to introduce a new generation of viewers to that terrifying universe of Satanic cults and maternal purgatory first conjured by author Ira Levin and further popularized by Roman Polanski's intense cinematic adaptation.

Natalie Erika James' "Apartment 7A" is at once a prequel to "Rosemary's Baby" - the book by Ira Levin and the film by Roman Polanski - and the latest entry in Hollywood's new wave of pregnancy horror,

James can shoot with effusive competence (see "Relic"). This film sleepwalks as a routine horror prequel clinging to classic nostalgia, unlike how "The First Omen" nailed the formula mere months ago.

While it has its moments, Rosemary's Baby prequel Apartment 7A is never quite up to its aspirations and unforgivable misses its marks.
