Abstract

"Apartment 7A" is a prequel to the novel and film "Rosemary's Baby," set before the events of the original story. The film follows an aspiring Broadway star who moves into a building and becomes involved with her mysterious neighbors, who seem overly attentive to her. The prequel explores what might have happened before the events of "Rosemary's Baby" and delves into the backstory of the characters. While some may view the proliferation of prequels as a cheap way to exploit audience recognition, "Apartment 7A" is a stylish and well-executed effort at recycling the original story. However, the film's predictability may be a drawback for viewers familiar with "Rosemary's Baby." [Extracted from the article]
