Apartment 7A Review: Rosemary’s Baby Prequel Intrigues but Isn’t Scary
As a dedicated cinephile, I’ve found myself in a situation where I need to call the superintendent about Apartment 7A. This place seems more like a pale imitation of the cinematic genius that was “Rosemary’s Baby,” a bone-chilling masterpiece from 1968 directed by Roman Polanski, who also brought us “Chinatown.” The film, starring Mia Farrow, tells the unique story of a young woman uncovering a sinister plot to make her give birth to the Antichrist. It was unlike anything audiences had experienced before, offering a gut-wrenching cinematic experience not seen since “Psycho,” released in 1960. If you haven’t read Ira Levin’s bestselling novel, you might have missed out on that chilling suspense and the dark undertones it carried.
