‘Apartment 7A’: Paramount’s Prequel to ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Said to be “Very Intense”

June 24, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

After a recent test-screening, I can now report that “Apartment 7A” is actually a “Rosemary’s Baby” prequel about the woman who died outside the apartment when Rosemary moved in.

A person who attended the test screening of “Apartment 7A” called it “intense and clever,” praising Diane Wiest’s “diabolically hilarious” performance and Julia Garner as “totally committed” to her role.

I hadn’t heard about this one before today. Paramount is backing this psychological thriller, which has gone totally under the radar. It actually wrapped its production in October 2022.

Natalie Erika James is directing the prequel and that’s actually very promising, her feature directing debut was “Relic” and, although I found it somewhat flawed, James did show some great promise in the way she shot that indie horror film.

Paramount Pictures owns the rights to Roman Polanski’s 1968 horror masterpiece which starred Mia Farrow as a pregnant young woman who believes her baby might be not of this world.

Of note, Amy Leeson is credited as playing Rosemary Woodhouse in the film, that’s the title character portrayed by Mia Farrow in the 1968 classic.

The character of “Roman Castevet” also appears in both films. Sidney Blackmer portrayed the character in the original film which is being played by Kevin McNally in “Apartment 7A.”

There is currently no release date set for “Apartment 7A,” but be on the lookout for this one. I can definitely picture it premiering in the Midnight Madness section in September at TIFF.
